This page will keep you updated on how well St Martins are doing at completing the collection of ongoing challenges linked to the School Games developed by the Birmingham School Games Organisers (SGO) and Sport Birmingham.
With Covid-19 protocols still preventing us as a school from competing against other schools and attending competitions and sports matches, the Virtual Challenges still provide that competitive edge to our childrens sporting curriculum. All children throughout the school complete these challenges within their class bubbles either as individuals or in teams. The results are recorded and inputted into the virtual portal which Miss Haydon has access to and at the end of every half term or term, results are then published and sent through to the different schools to show how well they have done.
