Steve Grainger, Chief Executive of the Youth Sport Trust, said: "We are thrilled at the success of this inaugural UK School Games and the level of competition has been quite incredible.
"We are delighted at how the young volunteers have also excelled in their roles and helped us put on a show to remember.
"The Glasgow Games have signalled the beginning of a very bright future for competitive school sport across the country, will live long in the memory, and will act as an inspiration for next year and beyond."
