School Sport
Events
We’re proud to be supporting and assisting with the delivery of Jersey’s Primary and Secondary School Sport Events, acting as a central point of contact and coordination. Jersey Sport provide support as required, working closely with key stakeholders to provide funding, administration and guidance.
We adopt a flexible approach to the co-ordination and delivery of School Sports Events. Our core function is to support the delivery of existing events that are run by teachers and sport organisations, whether that be administratively, financially or technically. We are also available to help set-up and design new additions to the School Sports Events offer, which is centrally coordinated by Jersey Sport.
It’s our vision that each schoolchild will have a realistic opportunity to represent their school at a sporting event through the creation and delivery of a diverse and inclusive School Sports Events offer.

SCHOOL SPORT EVENTS – 2023-2024 REVIEW
Throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, over 30 Jersey Primary Schools participated in our School Sport Events programme, which saw a wide variety of events delivered by 12 different local sport organisations.
Jersey Sport supported and assisted with the delivery of these events, along with providing administration and funding. Jersey Sport’s School Sport Event’s vision is that “every child regardless of background will have a realistic opportunity to represent their school in sport or physical activity” and the sport events delivered over the year enabled thousands of children in Key Stage 2 to proudly represent their schools at a School Sport Event. Each schoolchild that participated was provided information about the different pathways into that sport, so they can continue to engage playing sport outside of the school setting.
A huge thank you to the local sports listed below, who provided opportunities for schoolchildren to participate in School Sport Events during the 2023- 2024 academic year:
- Table Tennis
- Football
- Badminton
- Netball
- Hockey
- Athletics
- Cricket
- Rugby
- Dance
- Gaelic Football
- Swimming
- Tennis
