PARENT FEEDBACK

We don't expect you to just take our word for it

I was sceptical about how much a chess club could teach beyond the game itself. But within a term, my son was more focused with his homework and noticeably more patient when thinking things through.

Since my child joined the chess club, the transformation has been wonderful to see. It’s not just about learning the moves; they have gained so much confidence and focus. They come home excited to tell us about the tactics they’ve learned and the friends they’ve made. It is such a relief to have a supportive, screen-free activity where they are truly challenged and engaged. We are so grateful to have found such a brilliant mentor—my child’s analytical skills and sportsmanship have grown immensely!

What sold us was the safeguarding information on the website before we even visited. That level of transparency told us this was a serious operation, not a casual after-school club.

The termly calendar email saves me hours of chasing. I know exactly when tournaments are, when grading sessions happen, and when the term breaks. That alone is worth the registration fee.
