Did your child compete in the Kent School Games? Because here
are our snaps of the big event.

Our photographers were at all the sites that played host to
the county's biggest sporting contest.

Around 30,000 children representing 545 schools across the
county had competed to take part in the games.

They were whittled down to find the best Kent had to offer
before hundreds were then invited to the finals.

After a glitzy opening ceremony in Maidstone, the sports finally got under way on Thursday and ran through to Saturday.

Sites including the University of Kent, Canterbury,
Canterbury High School and Kingsmead Leisure Centre played host to
38 different events.

Here are a selection of some of our snappers' best
shots showing the action and the emotion to give you a flavour of
the event.
