What is the vision?
The School Games will continue to make a clear and meaningful difference to the lives of even more children and young people.
- Our School Games Organisers for Southend are Kirk Edwards (Southend East) and Kirsty Fitzgibbon (Southend West) they work collaboratively to run and organise the sporting events for the primary and secondary schools in Southend.
The Spirit of the Games values of eco friendly, determination, honesty, passion, respect, self-belief, and teamwork were developed by young people to identify what the experience of school sport should be built around and they focus on personal excellence through competition.
These values have been successfully applied by schools to develop a range of behaviours, qualities and inter-personal skills with their students based on sporting experiences, scenarios, and attitudes.
