The National Schools Chess Championships are now in their 51st year.
This year’s Championship began in November,
with 135 teams from all across the United Kingdom fighting to reach the prestigious National Finals.

 

ZONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
There are 12 zonal championships. Schools can choose to be entered into a knock-out or league system.

Another Way to Qualify for the National Knock-Out Stage!
Ideal for those who miss out on zone qualification
and those who were unable to enter the zone stage.

A NEW ONE DAY EVENT
Any school can enter this event, whether or not they have already entered the championship,
whether or not they have been knocked out by the 1st March.
