competitions To widen the opportunity for young people to engage in the Sainsbury’s School Games the Curriculum competitions recognise the skills, talents and abilities of those that present, photograph, analyse or report the school sports programme in their area. The Curriculum competitions showcase the great work being done in engaging a range of different subjects to contribute to achievements across the school inspired by the school games programme. If you have a team, or an individual, passionate about their media work and actively involved in raising the profile of school sport, why not get them to send us their blog, report or photos. They could be included on the Wiltshire and Swindon School Games web site and in the next edition of the RELAY magazine!

The next three games after that were: St. Mary’s the Virgin vs. Whitesheet, St. Mary’s M vs. Wyke and Milton vs. SMTV.

We are all so proud of him.’ His prize is to be part of the Media Team at the Wiltshire and Swindon School Games event on
2 July at Marlborough College. He will be presented with a certificate and media team t-shirt on the day and will join the other young journalists – mainly from local senior schools - covering the School Games Level 3 Competition.
Tyler’s article is below and we will be including his report from the 2 July in the next edition of RELAY in the Autumn term.
