Sainsbury's School Games
The Games are made up of three levels of activity: competition in schools, between schools, and at a county/area level:
• Intra-school (Level 1) - sporting competition for all students in school through intra-school competition – this relates to our Inter Team Competition in school where every pupil takes part. This term has seen competitions for Badminton, Dance, Gymnastics, Trampolining and Volleyball within school. All results will be passed on in our Inter Team assemblies early next term.
• Inter-school (Level 2) - individuals and teams are selected to represent their schools in local inter-school competitions – this relates to school teams that represent school in the identified sports.
• Sainsbury's School Games Festivals (Level 3) – the county/area stages multi-sport Sainsbury's School Games Festivals as a culmination of year-round school sport competition – these are the winners of the county tournaments who represent North Tyneside at the area (Tyne and Wear) competitions.
Kite mark
The Sainsbury's School Games Kite mark is a Government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Schools in England are able to assess themselves across bronze, silver and gold levels of the Kite mark.
Last year we were awarded the Bronze Kite mark but work is already underway to make sure that it is Gold this year.
Bronze Kite mark awarded for 2012/2013
