Written question asked by Lord Moynihan (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord De Mauley (Conservative) on Thursday, 11 August 2011.

Schools: Sport

Question: To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the object of the school games level 3 both at pilot and national level remains the provision of inter-school competitive sport for talented young people; and, if so, how many individual schools entered competitors under the names of their own school into competitions at the pilot events.

Answer: Yes. The School Games will use the inspiration of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to create the opportunity for every school and every child to participate in competitive sport. Level 3 is designed to be the annual culmination of an all-year-round programme of inter-school competition in a range of sports. Information on the number of individual schools entering competitions at the nine pilot events is currently being collected and evaluated. This information will be available in September 2011.
