Sussex School Games

The School Games inspires young people to be physically active for life through positive experiences of daily activity and competition.

What is the School Games?

Working closely with a network of Sussex School Games Organisers, Active Sussex deliver the Sussex School Games through a series of events, festivals and competitions.

In Sussex, the School Games programme seeks not only to provide competitive pathway competitions for children and young people, but innovative and exciting opportunities for those whom traditional opportunities are less accessible to.

The School Games is funded by Sport England National Lottery funding, and delivered in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust.
