Most of the events we enter are organised by School Games' officials and their intent is categorised as either Compete, Develop or Engage. This is to ensure the mission and values of inter-school events are accomplished, which include:
- make a positive and meaningful difference to the lives of young people
- put physical activity and sport at the heart of schools
- provide young people with the opportunity to enjoy and learn through competition to achieve their personal best.
Greswold will continue to be very much part of the School Games programme whilst adding our own events which mirror similar values and vision.
