THE SCHOOL GAMES
The School Games are designed to build on the magic of London 2012 to enable every school and child to participate in
competitive sport, including meaningful opportunities for young people with a disability.
At a local level, the School Games is being delivered by schools, clubs, National Governing Bodies (NGBs), county
sports partnerships (CSPs) and other local partners. Local Organising Committees (LOCs) have set up, chaired by
Head Teachers, to oversee the county festivals. County sports partnerships have an important role to play in helping to
stage the festivals.
The Games are made up of four levels of activity: competition in schools; between schools; at county/area level; and a
national event for the most talented young people in the UK.

SCHOOL’S CHECKLIST
The following can be used as a checklist for your school to guide through the process of planning your attendance at the
event, wherever you are involved. You may need additional information to enable you to complete the list, and your
own event risk assessment. We hope you will find this helpful in your planning.
Action/preparation.
The Head Teacher and Governors have been informed of the events and have confirmed
permission for your school to attend and take part.
Parents have received information about the events, times and venues etc. As some of
the events are at weekends, parents need to be aware that their child may be required to
attend.
Schools will be responsible for acquiring consent.
Some schools may seek consent for school activities on a termly or annual basis. If this is
the case, only additional information needs to be sent to parents e.g. that their child may
be required on a weekend day. The event organiser will assume that this has been
carried out and will not request any further/copies of consent forms.
Schools are clear on exactly which age groups, ability, gender and number of pupils are
eligible for the event.
Schools are clear about the date, venue and times they are required to attend. All
information will be sent to the school team manager. Any questions regarding this should
be emailed to Active Gloucestershire.
Schools will be responsible for transport arrangements to and from the venue. This may
be in minibuses, coaches, private cars etc. Normal school transporting procedures should
be followed. Any hired transport should be through a reputable company. Information
regarding parking arrangements, distance from the facility etc will be provided to schools
following the receipt of the venue risk assessments, schools will then be able to inform
parents if necessary, with regard to drop off/meeting points etc.
Schools need to be clear about check in/registration procedures.
See details in the finalists registration pack.
Schools should check if the sports event a team has selected to participate in requires any
specific experience/training prior to the competition. This is for the safety and enjoyment
of all participants. In some cases, NGB or local clubs are providing sessions for schools to
gain experience or increase skills in the run up to an event.
Schools need to make pupils aware of refreshment requirements and the importance of
taking along fluids.
Some schools may be requested to bring along additional equipment. Where this is the
case, it is the responsibility of the school to inspect and agree on handover, that the
condition of the equipment is safe. Once agreed with the user, and handed over, the
deliverer of that activity is responsible for checking that the equipment remains safe to
use.
Schools should ensure that participating pupils have any personal protective equipment
(PPE) the event might require, and the correct kit and footwear. They should also be clear
about removing items of jewellery and other personal effects and safekeeping of personal
items. Specific PPE event requirements will be included in the finalist’s
information/registration pack.
Contingency arrangements will be communicated to schools prior to the event, where
applicable e.g. wet weather plan for outdoor events.
Completed
Additional
information
required
5
The school is responsible for supervision of pupils at all times, including at
weekend events (it is a school initiated activity). Schools must decide (in their
information to parents) how and when that supervision is transferred to parents/carers.
Supervision is required both when pupils are active and non- active. Schools must clearly
explain the role of the school staff present. Where parent-helpers and other non-qualified
staff are being used, the school must satisfy themselves that the individuals are
competent to carry out the roles being asked of them. All helpers should be given a copy
of the relevant risk assessment for the event(s).
All schools have been sent the latest version of the School Games Code of Conduct.
School staff are requested to ensure that all participants, staff and parents are fully aware
of this code, and agree to abide by it at all times.
Schools should have with them a copy of emergency contacts for their participating pupils.
For each event entered a school will be required to have a nominated ‘team manager’.
Where this team manager is not a qualified teacher, their competency must be assessed
and approved by the school’s Head Teacher.
The team manager is responsible for conduct and safeguarding of their pupils.
Schools will be informed of first aid arrangements at the events. Where schools have
qualified first aiders with their group, they may wish to carry out any minor treatments. All
school groups are required to bring a basic first aid kit with them. This needs to
contain adequate and appropriate items relevant to the nature of the activity.
Any specific medical needs of pupils taking part should be highlighted by the school to the
organiser and the deliverer of the activity, as far in advance as possible. Schools are
responsible for gathering all medical information, much of which they will already have
available. Where competitors are treated by the First-Aid services, the adult
accompanying the child should request a copy of the treatment form completed by the
First-Aider. This should be handed to their school.
Schools will be required to inform the organisers/deliverers of any pupils they do not wish
to be photographed. This is information that the school will/should already hold.
Organisers will not request this information for all pupils, but will attempt to protect pupils
from being photographed if they are requested to do so. Unfortunately given the nature of
the event, absolute guarantees cannot be provided by the organiser that individual pupils
will be protected from being photographed. In the main, photographs are of groups and
action shots, and individuals would not be highlighted or named without permission.
Schools will receive information about how event staff can be recognised, and assurances
that staff, have been suitably checked according to safeguarding legislation. Sound
safeguarding procedures are in place at the events, and any concerns should be taken up
with the safeguarding lead appointed at each event.
Schools will be informed of changing and toilet provision and facilities. Any specific needs
should be discussed with the organiser in advance of the day of the event.
Schools may wish to take the opportunity to remind parents that pupils are not covered by
insurance for personal injury which arises through their participation. In the case of faulty
equipment or facility issues, the organisers and/or venue insurance takes responsibility,
but pupil’s personal injury insurance needs to be taken out by parents/carers if required,
as is the case for injury whilst at school.
Schools are expected to complete their own risk assessment. Venue/event Risk
Assessments will be circulated to participating schools as part of the
information/registration pack. These may then be used by schools to inform their own risk
assessments.
Schools who may require more guidance with regard to risk assessing and planning for taking pupils to events and
fixtures, may wish to purchase the Association for Physical Education (afPE) resource “Safe Practice for the School
Games – Guidance for Local Organising Committees and Schools”. – cost £9.99. For more extensive information, Safe
Practice in PE and Sport 2016 is also available to purchase for £44.99. Both of these publications are available from the
afPE website www.afpe.org.uk.

THE SPORTS...
This Handbook provides the Level 3 (County) Finals information which we hope you find useful. It includes the
date, venue, and qualification pathways for The Gloucestershire School Games. Please be aware that almost all
of the competitions featured have certain qualification routes, in some cases from Level 1 (Intra-School), through to
Level 2 (Inter-School/District). Others may be open events which require schools/individuals to register interest with
your School Games Organiser. If any sports appeal to you or your school please find out more about the entry
requirements from your District’s SGO (see table below for contact details).
The Gloucestershire School Games Calendar has developed into an extensive yearlong programme of high quality,
inclusive sports competitions for all Primary, Secondary and Special Schools within the County. The Level 3 Finals are
split into Stand-Alone Finals or Multi-Sports Finals.
Stand-Alone finals will consist of a single sports final taking place at one venue on one day. Multi-Sports Finals will be a
number of sports finals taking place at one venue, using a variety of their facilities, creating an exciting
Olympic/Paralympic event feel. These Multi-sports Finals will take place as the School Games Media Launch, the
Spring Games and the Summer Games.
The School Games Media Launch on Wednesday 25th January 2017 at Cheltenham College. The Spring Games
Festival on Wednesday 5th April 2017 is also at Cheltenham College and the Summer Games which will be a number
of Multi Sports Finals on Thursday 15th June 2016 (Secondary Finals), Friday 16th June (Primary Finals), both at
Hartpury College. The tennis Finals will take place on Tuesday 4th July 2016 at Oxstalls Sports Park.
The Local Organising Committee and School Games Organisers (details below) are passionate about providing
accessible and appropriate competition for all, celebrating the highest level of sporting talent in Gloucestershire and we
believe that this is reflected within the sports chosen. Please promote the various competitions around your school as
some ‘alternative sports’ may not be part of your School Curriculum but could be a fantastic opportunity for some of your
students. In line with the school games ethos, this year we will not be compiling a medals table. Instead we will
recognise and reward schools on attendance at level 2 and level 3 events.
Projectability competitions are aimed specifically at SEND students. There is an expectation that participants DO NOT
compete for the school in any other non-SEND linked sport e.g. first team cricket. The emphasis should be on
encouraging competition for ALL young people particularly those that do not usually get an opportunity to represent their
school.

THE VOLUNTEERS
The Gloucestershire School Games would not happen without the fantastic workforce of young leaders, club volunteers,
teachers, parents and staff. Active Gloucestershire uses funding from the Department for Education to deliver the
nationally recognised Gloucestershire School Games Maker Programme; this countywide leadership and volunteering
programme supports the delivery of The Gloucestershire School Games at Levels 1-3, providing young volunteers with
training, personal development opportunities, mentoring and rewards for the time they give to the programme.
It is a fantastic opportunity for young people and adults aged 14 years+ from any school, sixth form, college, university
or community setting in Gloucestershire to be trained and deployed into a variety of roles across a number of School
Games Events within their local environment including;
- Media Team
- Event Management
- Competition Organiser
- Officiating
- Team Manager
This academic year we aim to build on the programme further by supporting more young volunteers into local
community volunteering, enhancing their employability skills and experiences. Part of their task list) also involves acting
as ambassadors within their own school/college/university, working with SGOs to support Level 2 events as well as
promoting the School Games amongst peers and younger students. A number of School Games Makers will also have
the opportunity to be nominated for Level 3 school games and the Talent Inspiration Programme, the pinnacle of the
National Level 4 School Games Programme in September.
If you would like to work as a school games maker and assist with the running of Level 2 School Games, please
contact your Local School Games Organiser
11
THE CODE OF CONDUCT
The School Games Local Organising Committee, supported by Active Gloucestershire, encourages athletes, event
organisers, team managers, officials and spectators to follow the advice set out in this document.
This Code of Conduct aims to ensure that young people (as athletes, officials or coaches) have the opportunity to
develop, learn and enjoy their experience of competition within a positive and safe environment.
At all Level 2 and 3 School Games events, the document below will be given to teams; it will be also available to print.
Team Managers are expected to familiarise themselves with the Code of Conduct, sharing the ethos and spirit of the
games with students and any spectators or staff that may be with the team.
In addition to this, the 2016/17 Gloucestershire School Games will embed the School Games Values into all of the
events. This will be done in 3 ways;
1. All event welcomes to include information on the code of conduct, highlighting the School Games Values;
2. Young volunteers and Sporting Champions will award Values Wristbands and Certificates to athletes who
demonstrate and showcase the School Games Values during the competitions.
3. Showcasing curriculum competitions which will be linked to the School Games Values
Copies of the Code of Conduct will be available at all events.
To download a copy of the Code of Conduct please visit www.activegloucestershire.org
