School Games Mark Success for our JMAT Schools

Updated: Jul 17

This year a high number of our JMAT schools have applied for the School Game Mark Application. The School Games Mark is a government-led award scheme. It celebrates schools' commitment to developing competitive sport within their school and community. It allows schools to assess their PE provision and create an action plan for improvement



Key Criteria

The School Games Mark follows the School Games’ objectives. Schools must show how they:

  • Maintain and increase engagement in the School Games, and ensure every child gets 60 active minutes per day. For SEND students, this would be 20 minutes per day

  • Organise competitions that provide positive experiences tailored to students’ motivation, confidence, and abilities

  • Focus on key transition points, such as Year 3 and Year 6/7, and how secondary schools take part in the School Games

  • Support the personal development of targeted students through youth engagement and leadership

  • Engage key stakeholders to promote the value of the School Games and enhance local provision

  • Provide equal opportunities for all young people, regardless of gender

  • Understand and develop their approach to physical literacy.


Congratulations to all of our schools below.


Platinum: Brampton Ellis, Wath CofE, Wath Central, Mexborough St John, Bramley Sunnyside, Anston Hillcrest, Wath Victoria


Gold: Kiveton Park Meadows Juniors, St Ann's Primary, Ferham Primary


Silver: Hooton Pagnell All Saints C of E


Bronze: Highfield Farm Primary


Schools need to receive four consecutive years of Gold to then apply for Platinum. Once schools receive Platinum then they do not need to apply for two years
