Your School Games Mark evidence, built as you go

Every score your classes record feeds a ready-made report: who's taking part, girls and boys, who the least-active pupils are, and every competition with its purpose.

  • “The School Games Mark takes hours of evidence.”Your report builds itself from the scores your classes record.
  • “We can’t reach the least active.”A “not skipped lately” list, effort badges and most-improved awards.
  • “We need 30 active minutes a day.”Log each class’s skipping time and the report adds it up for you.
