Prizes are awarded at each event and scores are collated through an overall league. At the end of the year the winning boys' and girls' school receive a perpetual trophy.

A key emphasis of the Medway Secondary School Games is enjoyable participation and respect within a competitive environment and a fair play award is presented at each event.

The Medway Secondary School Games aim to:

  • encourage a fit and healthy lifestyle;
  • improve social and communication skills and working as a team;
  • encourage children to develop and learn physical skills;
  • teach children important life skills;
  • provide a safe and fun activity for participation.
