CHECKMATE! Chess
n The DC Junior School participated in the EPSCA (English Primary Schools Chess Association) Zonals held at Chislehurst Girls’ School in Bromley. Three teams took part - U11A, U11B and U9. The U11A did well to come fourth in the tournament and qualify for the EPSCA semi-finals to be held at Camber Sands. We also had three Year 5 boys joining the U11 A & B squad and it was a great experience for them. Squad: Kabir Ghosh (Capt.), Ryan Nguyen, Arran Avril, Andy He, Aadit Bhasin, Oliver Shek.
n The Junior School hosted over 20 pupils from Rosendale Primary School for a friendly chess fixture. The contest provided an excellent opportunity for children across a range of experience levels to play chess against different opponents, practise their skills and of course, have fun playing. It was wonderful to see over 25 games of chess being played at the same time in the Junior School Hall.
