New enrichment programme launched
Rydal Penrhos’ Prep Chess Club held its first session on Monday, January 13, which is just one of the exciting options available throughout the academic year.
The club gained a significant amount of interest from pupils of all ages, where they will learn about the rules surrounding Chess and the best strategies to use during in-play situations.
Those in attendance also received considerable support from Sixth Form duo Harri Jackson and Morgan Kendall, who will be giving up their time to volunteer their services and assist the younger members of the Rydal Penrhos community during the initial stages of their development.
The school has had a great deal of success within a Chess environment in recent years, with 2019 leaver Imogen Camp earning Welsh international honours at events such as the World Youth Championships. She also managed to scoop the Welsh senior title during her time as a pupil.
