Rivermead School

I have been teaching at Rivermead School (www.rivermeadschool.org.uk) Chess Club since January 2007. Most of the kids were at a basic level when the club began, but they have a keen thirst for problem solving, and I regularly set them tactics during the club. This along with their competitive nature, and help from parents has caused the level to increase dramatically since the club started.

At the top of the class several children are closely matched, but one pupil has stood out in the first two tournaments, proving to be cooler under pressure!

A big thank you to the headmistress, Judith Castle, and all her efforts too.
