Coventry East
South Solihull
It has been very busy as far as School
Games are concerned. There has been
increased participation throughout the
East of the City in both Secondary and
Primary Competitions. Over a week in
November there was a huge take up in
the Primary Sportshall Athletics at the Alan
Higgs Centre with the finals in January.
Wiseman and Grace Academy, these
schools have excelled in other Level
2 events in Year 7 netball, badminton,
basketball and rowing. Other schools
in the Level 3 include Whitley Academy
in girl’s football and Year 9 boys rowing
and Ernesford Grange in the U14boys
badminton.
Willenhall Primary was successful for the
2nd year running. The Secondary age
group winners were shared between
Bluecoat, Cardinal Wiseman and Grace
Academy. The atmosphere at this event
was incredible with staff and pupils
thoroughly enjoying it.
There are over 50 pupils who have been
on Leadership courses in basketball,
football, badminton and netball.
Ambassador training has achieved
25 Silver Ambassadors and over 20
Primary Schools taking part in Bronze
Ambassador training. The level of
commitment the Ambassadors and
Leaders have shown in supporting Level
1 and 2 events is inspiring and it is a
great credit to their schools that they
release them as much as possible.
The swimming galas were a great event
with Wyken Croft being the Primary
winners. The Secondary was again
shared between Bluecoat, Cardinal
It has been a busy time for the Secondary
Schools; with leagues in Basketball
and Rowing as well as competitions in
Swimming, Sports Hall Athletics, Football
and Badminton. We have been pleased
to see the rowing becoming stronger
growing to a league from a one off event
last year! In many competitions it has been
a matter of seconds/metres or points
between the top places.
Coventry West
Competition has been keen to qualify for
the Winter Games Finals.
The badminton teams from Finham, Tile
Hill Wood and Woodlands all qualified
from competitions held at the Xcel Centre
and Westwood Academy in December
but unfortunately did not achieve success
in the Games. The boys from Woodlands
Academy just missing out, a bronze
being the closest. The basketball level
2 competition saw year 10/11 Barrs
Hill going through like last year with
newcomers President Kennedy to join
them in year 9.
The girls’ footballers from Finham
played their level 2 finals at the Astros
at Woodlands Academy beating all
challengers quite convincingly. The
Sportshall athletics level 2 finals saw some
excellent athletics with some new winners
this year. Finham boys won year 7,
wish all of our competitors the best of
luck in quicksticks hockey, rounders,
quadkids, rowing and tri golf!
Eastern
Warwickshire
The Eastern Warwickshire area started
the year with some exciting competitions
which are continuing into the summer
term supported by some excellent young
leaders. Participation has increased
this year with the most popular primary
competition continuing to be the year 5 &
6 Sportshall Athletics competition. Paddox
Primary School continues to dominate in
this event, successfully qualifying again
for the level 3 competition. Paddox
Primary School have entered most school
games events and have also qualified to
represent their area in Tag Rugby and High
5 Netball. Northlands Primary School won
the level 2 Year 3 & 4 Mini Red Tennis with
a clear lead and Bilton Junior School beat
a strong team from Wolston St Margarets
Primary School thereby securing their
place in the level 3 Year 5 & 6 Mini Red
Tennis competition. Our KS1 Multiskills
competitions are taking place over the
next few weeks with 360 year 1 and 2
pupils taking part. We look forward to
the remaining primary competitions and
The secondary competitions have
been equally well attended also with
some closely fought competitions.
The winner of the rounders league
had to be identified by score
difference – well done Avon Valley
School! The swimming gala was
a great competition with Lawrence
Sheriff School winning all but one of
the boys competitions and Ashlawn
School winning all of the girls events.
We now look forward to the last level
2 secondary competition – Super 6
Athletics and wish congratulations to
all of our secondary winners so far:
Swimming:
Ashlawn School and Lawrence
Sheriff School
Bishop Ullathorne year 8 boys, Coundon
Court year 8 girls and Barrs Hill year 7
girls.
Competition returned to the pool on 5th
March for a fantastic day of swimming
hosted by Coventry Sports Centre. Tile
Hill Wood Academy won all age groups
in the girls with the boys being shared by
Finham year 7, Woodlands year 8 and
Coundon Court year 9.
South Solihull showed their strength in the
Level 3 Badminton finals, finalists in all four
competitions and winning three of them!!
Congratulations to Langley and Arden

off in February with Langley Primary

North Solihull
Numerous pupils in Solihull North have
had the opportunity to engage in level 1
and level 2 sporting competitions striving
to participate in the Winter and Summer
School Games finals.
Students ranging from Year 2 (aged 6/7)
to Year 11 (aged 15/16) have represented
their schools taking part in Basketball,
Badminton, Indoor Athletics, Girls Football,
Multi Skills, Indoor Rowing and Table
Tennis.
The rowing squads battled it out
Woodlands Academy with Westwood
boys winning the year 9 competition,
Cardinal newman the year 10 boys. The
girls competitions were won by Tile Hill
Wood in year 10 and Bishop Ullathorne in
year 9.
Pupils from Special Needs settings have
also had the opportunity to participate
in Boccia, Archery, Indoor Rowing, and
Football. Multi Skills was an inaugural
event for Solihull North this academic year
where over 280 students took part in a
All in all great representation across
the area with nine out of the 10
schools represented.
series of skill based challenges relating to
athletics held at our central venue, Smiths
Wood Sports College.
Following our success in Indoor Rowing
last academic year, every school within the
SGO area has been given the opportunity
to participate in rowing workshops which
have determined the respective level 2
winners for School Games selection.
Pictured above are the Grace Academy
Year 10 boys rowing team who having
last year gained a silver medal at the
School Games finals are hoping to go
one better this year after winning the
level 2 competition for the second year in
succession.
Northern Warwickshire
Central Warwickshire
With the national focus at level one
competition, the Northern Warwickshire
School Sport Partnership has been using
their core offer to enhance School Games.
Secondary Schools that have ‘Signed Up
for Sport’ and hosted a Level 2 Sportshall
Athletics event have been able to access
intra school competition support for their
Year 7 and 8 pupils.
After an amazing summer of sport, the
students in Central Warwickshire really do
seem to have been inspired to participate
and compete in more sport. The
number of both primary and secondary
schools entered in all our School Games
competitions has double and in some
sports trebled. With this growth in
participation the Sports Partnership has
had to support a similar growth in the
number of young leaders and volunteers
who make running competitions possible.
The ideal scenario has seen a whole
day of Sportshall Athletics for all ages,
incorporating the delivery of Level 1
competitions for Year 7 & 8 pupils first
thing, leadership training for Years 9-13
students after break, Level 2 competition
for local feeder schools in the afternoon
and a Level 2 secondary event taking
place after school. One School Games
focus day like this can engage up to 500
young people over the course of the day
as participants and volunteers.
Aside from Sportshall Athletics, the other
focus winter sports have seen Level 2
competitions taking place at primary
level as play off events between the three
separate primary school associations,
as well as several new developmental
competitions including indoor rowing
for Year 5&6 pupils. The secondary
swimming gala was held for the third year
now and is slowly developing in terms of
participation rates. Level 2 girls football
was well supported once again by staff
from Nuneaton and Bedworth Leisure
Trust and is popular due to the central
venue formal in place.

Southern Warwickshire
It has been another busy school year
so far with lots of competitions taking
place for primary, secondary and special
schools within Southern Warwickshire.
With the introduction of the Winter Games
level 3 event, the last few weeks have
seen secondary teams qualify for finals of
badminton, basketball, sportshall athletics,
indoor rowing, swimming and girls football.
The secondary swimming gala was a new
competition this year and will hopefully
develop over the next few years with all
schools being involved. Congratulations
to Alcester Grammar School who have 9
teams qualified for level 3 finals, Stratford
Girls Grammar (4 teams), Shipston (2
teams), Stratford-upon-Avon School (1
team) and King Edward VI (1 team).
Primary schools have also seen a lot
of competition with the main school
games event being sportshall athletics.
The two tiered system of separate
competitions for small schools and
large schools has again been very
successful and has enabled very
close competitions. St. Gregory’s from
Stratford won the large schools event,
beating Tanworth-in-Arden for the title.
The small schools final was one of the
closet competitions for years, with
Ettington emerging as winners only just
beating Alveston into second place.
One of the most successful competitions
has been our year 5/6 indoor rowing
event. Last year we did not have any
schools enter this event, so to support
schools to engage we ran a practice
competition and optional after school
sessions for schools to access.
Good luck to all teams competing
in both the winter and summer
level 3 events!
www.yourschoolgames.com
After this we had 12 teams enter the
competition. The atmosphere in the
gym was electric as parents, teachers
and children cheered their teams on.
Alongside partnership staff, a team of
young leaders from Campion School
helped run the event. The schools going
through to the County School Games
Finals are Milverton and Telford Juniors.
This year has seen some great
sports competitions in schools and
there is still plenty more to come.
Is your school involved? Is your
child involved? It is not too late to
be part of these exciting sporting
opportunities.
