Kirkwall Grammar School is the largest secondary school in Orkney with around 840 students. The current premises were opened in 2014 and this large, airy, and contemporary building will house many competitors in dormitory accommodation for the Games, as well as being the lead hub for the Football competition.
Up to 10 grass pitches in various locations across Orkney mainland and connected South Isles will be utilised for the Games. The Grammar School in the heart of Kirkwall will be the main hub for Football, offering a high-standard grass pitch as well as an all-weather pitch. The two 3G pitches on the Island will be available for training and as a back-up if required.
Our volunteers are central to the smooth running of Orkney 2025. The Games-time Volunteer Programme is open from 15th January to 12th September 2024. If you'd like to apply, you can do so now.
