Leading children’s charity, Youth Sport Trust, has welcomed a significant increase in School Games Mark engagement, with applications reaching their highest level since 2018 and marking a renewed momentum in schools’ commitment to sport, wellbeing and physical activity. This growth follows the disruption of the pandemic and reflects a sector re-energised around getting children active. The rise mirrors findings from Sport England’s Active Lives Children and Young People Survey, which has tracked children’s activity since 2017–18 and now shows activity levels at their highest ever recorded.
