School Games Impact Report 2024-2025

Yorkshire Sport Foundation delivers the School Games programme across South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, using a blended model of county-wide events and localised SGO-funded projects. The 2024-25 report highlights a strong focus on tackling inequalities, with targeted programmes for inactive girls, children with disabilities, and young people from underrepresented communities. Girls Week — originated by a single Sheffield SGO — expanded into a multi-district initiative reaching over 1,200 girls, winning a national School Games Impact Award. County-wide events engaged 2,217 young people, including 263 with SEND. The localised funding model empowered School Games Organisers to design place-based, pupil-led activity tailored to their communities, with pupil voice central throughout.
