Chess Rising Stars currently offer breakfast, lunchtime and after-school chess clubs at primary and secondary schools across London. We believe chess is easy to play, fun to learn and full of secrets to discover.
Our students and schools have achieved individual and collective successes, including reaching the finals of the National Primary Schools’ Chess Championships 2023.
The Chess Rising Stars team of experienced coaches would be delighted to discuss making arrangements for chess lessons at your school.
