Athlete Education Programme
The Athlete Education Programme is at the heart of the 2021 School Games, creating a positive experience that supports athletes to best prepare for a future in and alongside sport.
Athletes
The School Games National Finals will be the first multi-sport event for young athletes following the lifting of lockdown restrictions. Our athletes have spent the last year and a half working tirelessly on their fitness and training in the hopes of competing at Loughborough University this summer.
School Games alumni
The School Games has seen many of its athletes go on to achieve the highest sporting accolades and success on national and international stages. Inspirational athletes including Ellie Simmonds, Jonnie Peacock and Hannah Cockroft represented Paralympics GB at the London 2012 Paralympic Games while many more have competed at World Championships, European Championships and National Finals.
