How can chess help our pupils?

Chess is an effective and affordable educational intervention, promoting key academic and social skills that children will use throughout their lives. The game helps them to think logically and solve problems, it develops sportsmanship and resilience and it teaches children to plan ahead and take responsibility for their actions.

Open to anyone regardless of gender, ethnicity, faith or disability, chess has also been positively linked with academic performance.
