“ Chess is huge here, deliberately encouraged to develop logical thinking.” – Good Schools Guide
We inspire our younger children to begin playing chess from Year 1, where they are able to join the Chesslings Club. For Years 3 to 6 chess is part of the school day. We teach the rules and tactics of chess and follow the curriculum outlined in the Systematic Study of Chess. In addition to this, all players are expected to master algebraic notation. This system is internationally recognised and is used to record each move during a game.
