St Agatha's Chess Win!
St Agatha's have beaten Latchmere school in the Annual St Agatha's v Latchmere Chess Shield Competition 2025. The team played with determination to win 7-5 building on the success they had last year. The Latchmere team were extremely strong but still St Agatha's came through. The team this year included two Year 2 beginners who were selected to play based on their outstanding performance in the recent UK Chess Challenge competition. They won through with flying colours. The strength, determination and resilience of the entire team paid off. All team members were awarded their Chess blue badges.
We have many aspiring chess players in the Chess club and hope this acts as an inspiration for them and new members to work hard, and maybe they can be part of the St Agatha's Shield match in 2026.
