CSC delivers chess to schools either a) via curriculum-time lessons and/or b) through the traditional extra‑curricular chess club. Children are taught by one of CSC’s trained tutors, who all have Enhanced DBS clearance, progressing over 30 weeks from the rules of the game to foundational tactics and strategy. Schools receive a) chess sets, b) teaching and learning resources, and c) entry to school activity days at the London Chess Classic. Staff are offered free places on tutor training courses, enabling them to lead the lessons, and use the CSC curriculum.
