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 will open in early 2024. If you'd like to register your interest now, please do so with the sign-up form and we'll make sure we get in touch when the Programme opens. This doesn't commit you to volunteering or to any particular area, it just helps us understand the current level of interest. Thank you.
