Local Organising Committees
A Local Organising Committee (LOC) is a county or area-wide strategic group established to plan and stage a high quality School Games Level 3 festival linked to competition at Levels 1 and 2 or the School Games. The LOC should have, as a minimum, representation from:
- State and independent schools at a Head Teacher level
- The County Sports Partnership
- Local Government
- Young People
- NGB and other local sports providers
- Local disability sport.
- School Games Organisers and Teacher Release posts should have representation on this group.
Each LOC is chaired by a Head Teacher and the group will be critical in identifying the opportunities to exploit School Games and all it involves for the benefit of pupils, schools and the local community.
The School Games website is packed full of useful information tools and resources that will help all LOCs to fulfil their role effectively, such as manuals, packs, case studies and newsletter downloads. It is also the place to see which schools in your area have signed up to be part of the School Games and what they have been up to on the website.
