Below a full report from Mr DJ Archer:

IAPS CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2016
This years’ tournament at Aldro School proved to be a lively three days of chess and other activities for the 155 players. Seventeen schools from all over the country took part with about 50 players boarding.
It proved to be a massive success for long time entrants Twickenham Prep but it was chess that was also the winner here with all the children enjoying playing against each other in age group sections and ability groups. The trip to Chessington World of Adventure and the 5 a side football also proved very popular for the boarding schools.
All the accompanying staff joined in to help run the massive tournament and it was a great team effort with the organisation and supervision. Our Matron Tracey Thornton did a sterling job in the evenings and all the boarding staff were treated to a special meal on the last evening.
The winners of the age groups sections (4 rounds ) on the first day are as follows;
U13 winner Rori Rodell (Witham Hall)
U12 winner Fin Di Castaglione (Windlesham House)
U11 winners Ali Bhatia (Windlesham) and Dominic Harvey (Battle Abbey)
