CHESS TOURNAMENT

On Tuesday 4th April, a group of students travelled to Brighton Grammar School to take part in an Inter-School Chess Tournament.  It was an extraordinary event, involving 241 students from 14 schools.

A big congratulations to one of our teams who placed 2nd. That’s 2nd place out of 39 teams!
