On 30 March 2025, Richmond Park School (RPS) successfully hosted a interschool chess tournament, attracting participation from 30 schools and approximately 160 players. The event was a good example of the high calibre of young chess talents and the dedication of everyone involved.

RPS students demonstrated exceptional chess skills through the tournament. Unai from Year 4 came first in the Benjamin group, while Noé, also from Year 4, achieved a meritorious 5th place. Additionally, eight more Year 4 students competed in the same category, all delivering commendable performances.

In the Pre-Benjamin category, four RPS players showcased their impressive chess skills, with Ariana from Year 3 achieving a notable 10th place finish and the other Year 3 students achieved very estimable results. This highlights the promising talent within our young students.

Overall, the Chess Tournament was a resounding success, reflecting the hard work and enthusiasm of everyone involved, and making it a memorable occasion for Richmond Park School.
