School Games Mark 2024/25 - Now Live

Posted 2nd May 2025

We are pleased to announce that the School Games Mark application window is now open.

Advice for Schools

To get the most out of your application, please utilise the Criteria and Guidance documents available. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact your SGO, who will be able to support you throughout the application process.

A reminder that to be eligible for the platinum award, a school must:

  • Have achieved a gold award in each of the following academic years: 2018/19, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24 (please note that the School Games Mark was not awarded in 2019/20 and 2020/21 due to the Covid-19 pandemic), or have achieved platinum in both 2021/22 and 2022/23.
  • Be on track to be automatically graded as gold for their 2024/25 application at the time of submission (the website automatically calculates the grade when the application is submitted).

If both criteria are met, the platinum section of the application will automatically open.

All successful schools will receive a sustainably sourced wooden award badge to be pinned onto their School Games pennant, and a downloadable digital celebration pack.

Please note:

When selecting sports in Section 6, the sport name must be clicked on, not the circle next to the sport. This screenshot shows where (in pink) you need to click to select a sport.

Good luck!
