Annual School Chess Tournament – Round 1 Draw
Chess continues to be a hugely popular pastime for our Key Stage 2 pupils, especially during wet lunchtimes, and with good reason. Playing chess helps children develop visual memory, attention span, spatial‑reasoning skills, and social interaction. It also encourages critical thinking, logical decision‑making, and the ability to evaluate alternatives — all invaluable lifelong skills.
This year, 56 pupils from Year 5 to Year 7 have signed up for the second year of our Annual School Chess Tournament. Excitement is already building as the Round 1 draw took place today. Matches will begin next week, giving our young competitors a few more days to practise their strategies.
We wish all our players the very best of luck as the tournament begins!
