Results

The link to submit your scores is below. Please note this link will only be live from 10am on Friday 10th July up till 12pm on the Monday 13th July.

Parents and children can fill in this form. This can be done at home or in school and all children’s results will be added to their school score. We will not be asking for any names or initials, only the school.
It is one form per participant and children don’t need to have completed all competitions to submit a score for a challenge.
The final results will be released on Monday 13 July after 12pm. Keep an eye on our twitter @YorkshireSport for this information!
