Glasgow schools gifted bespoke 2026 schools' baton inspired by Commonwealth…

Glasgow schools and nurseries launch their own Schools’ Baton Relay for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, uniting 330 institutions and 70,000 children. Each school designed a unique Baton for a citywide celebration. The initiative aims to inspire learning about the Commonwealth and sports, with the support of Glasgow City Council and Glasgow 2026. The program encourages community involvement and cultural celebration, with Scottish Netball star Lexy Gillies praising the initiative for engaging young people in the Games spirit. The Schools’ Baton Relay is exclusive to Glasgow but has a national digital resource pack for schools across Scotland to participate.
