Cleves Beginners Chess Club - Autumn Term 2026

Beginners Chess is held every Friday at 3.15pm - 4.20pm and is open to boys and girls who have little or no knowledge of how to play chess.  The first club will take place in the Science Room on Friday 11 September 2026 and the last session is 11th December 2026 . Year 3 children will be escorted from their classrooms for the first couple of weeks of this term.

Chess is a challenging pastime, which develops logical thinking, concentration, forward planning and self-control.  Success at chess often helps the development of personal confidence which has been shown to enhance achievement in basic school subjects.  We operate a simplified “Swiss system” which means; Win = 3 points, draw = 2 points and loss = 1 point.  Each player has their own score card and points are recorded weekly after each match.  This system ensures players of the same ability are playing each other regardless of age or gender. At the end of term there is a Trophy for the player with the highest score and a medal for 2nd and 3rd place.  

If you would like your son/daughter to attend Beginners Chess Club, please complete the details below to register and pay. The cost for the term is £123.00.   The Link will automatically close when all the places have gone.  Pick up at 4.20pm is from the fire escape door of the Science Room along the path to the right of Reception.

Players are expected to show each other respect and behave in a manner conducive to chess club conditions. Disrespectful or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated and a yellow card issued. In the unlikely event that a player receives two yellow cards in one term they will be asked to leave without refund.

IMPORTANT OTHER STUFF

To ensure we always know where your child is, please text me on 07989474533 if they are unable to attend a session for ANY reason to avoid any panics and search parties being organised.  

In order to maintain a safe, risk free environment, please do not send your child to chess with any food.

Could you also inform me if your child has any allergies and/or carries an EpiPen or inhaler or is likely to need any medical intervention whilst at chess.  

Thank you.
