Chess success at the ECF National Girls School Championships
All news
Congratulations to our CJS chess teams, who played excellently at the ECF National Girls School Championships a few weeks ago!
After competing in five rounds with over 60 school teams from across the country, our A team came 4th place! Their excellent performance also earned them qualification to the national finals which will be hosted in early April.
We are also very proud of our B team who finished with the 12th place - tied with the A team from Highgate after some very close games. Our C team played extremely well against some very strong teams and it was the first tournament for many of them.
This is a wonderful achievement and we are very proud to see our CJS children develop their skills in an activity they are so passionate about.
