Esports

We have worked with DAIGON, a leading provider in school eSports, to produce information and guidance for our membership to help better understand what eSports is and how you can safely and effectively introduce it into your school.

eSports in schools is more than just video gaming. It is a structured and purposeful activity that builds vital skills such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving and digital literacy. Through after-school clubs or integrated lessons, pupils of all abilities can develop confidence, creativity and a real sense of belonging.

When delivered well, eSports is far from passive screen time. It is collaborative, social and educational. It encourages responsibility, boosts engagement and offers inclusive opportunities for all learners, including those who may not typically participate in traditional sports.

DAIGON has produced the following documents specifically for our membership. The first is designed for Heads and school leaders to explain what eSports in schools looks like and how it can be implemented. The second is intended for your parent body, helping to inform and reassure families about the role of esports in school life. To find out more about esports, visit the DAIGON website.
