Chess Club at St Joseph’s NS

At St Joseph’s NS, we are proud to offer a vibrant and welcoming Chess Club, led by Mr. Quinn. Pupils can join during lunchtimes and also have the opportunity to take part in our After School Chess Club.

During club sessions, pupils get to learn the rules of chess, develop new strategies, play friendly matches, and challenge themselves in tournaments. We have lots of excellent resources available, including a wide range of chess boards, digital teaching tools, and strategy guides to help all players improve — from beginners to more experienced players.

Chess offers many benefits to our pupils. It helps to strengthen concentration, memory, and problem-solving skills, while also encouraging patience, resilience, and good sportsmanship. Pupils enjoy the fun, friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to make new friends while developing important skills that support their overall learning.

Whether pupils are new to chess or looking to refine their tactics, everyone is welcome at our Chess Club!
