We were delighted to host a highly successful chess tournament at the beginning of March. A total of 144 students participated, representing seven different primary schools, including 32 pupils from our own third classes.

The emphasis of the event was on enjoyment and learning, giving pupils the opportunity to develop their chess skills in a supportive, non-competitive environment. We are incredibly proud of our third class pupils, who performed brilliantly on the day and demonstrated outstanding teamwork and sportsmanship throughout.
