The Leicester-Shire & Rutland School Games, is part of the national 'School Games Programme'. It aims to keep school sport & physical activity at the heart of school life and provide more young people with the opportunity to compete and achieve their personal best.

It is open to all young people aged 6-18 years, of all abilities and backgrounds from every school across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland - therefore make sure your School gets involved!

Delivered locally by us here at Active Together and the School Games Organisers (SGOs) in the 10 School Sport & Physical Activity Networks (SSPANs), the Leicester-Shire & Rutland School Games provides schools with the opportunity to enhance their existing work in school sport and create a year-round calendar of developmental and competitive opportunities for all students.

Make sure your School has the chance to get involved by contacting your School Games Organiser (SGO).
