School Games Cross-Curricular Competition

The School Games is an opportunity to engage with all areas of school life as well as to develop and extend the skills and understanding learned across the curriculum. In support of this a range of competitions have been developed to compliment the sporting offer with a focus on how the School Games can inspire literacy, numeracy and creative skills.

The curriculum competitions use local intra-school and inter-school sporting opportunities as a platform for young people to refine and showcase their reporting, announcing and photography skills as well as stimulus for creating music, art and application of statistics.

The top thirty entries from the photography, announcer, commentator and reporter categories from this region will be invited to a media master class day during the spring term. The national winners in these categories will be given further training and deployed at the Level 4 School Games in the Olympic Park, London in May 2012.

How to Get Involved:

• To take part in the competitions schools need to register for their online space, read the competition briefs and create and upload their entries by Friday 17th February 2012.

• Each competition brief clearly outlines the criteria for the entry and provides examples and tutorials to support pupils to create their entries.

• Each school will be able to upload all entries from their students in their own competition channel and submit the best ones for regional recognition.
