Our school has built up a formidable reputation as a centre for excellence in thinking skills and chess.
Pupils are taught strategic thinking skills, social skills and emotional intelligence from Reception onwards, using ThinkTank, an innovative and exciting programme which runs as part of the curriculum each week. ThinkTank is part of a worldwide group leading in thinking skills education globally.
Taught by fully trained specialist staff, the skills our pupils learn through ThinkTank provide a strong foundation for life in this modern age, as well as for playing chess.
In fact, there are many exciting opportunities to develop chess skills at TPS with weekly clubs and activities, and many pupils competing in individual and school tournaments, including the IAPS National Chess Championships, which we’ve hosted over many years.
