Chess is thriving at the School. Millfield offers a Chess Scholarship; this is endorsed by Nigel Short, who officially launched it.
Millfield regularly hosts major chess events including the Wessex Mega-Final, the National Junior Squad Championships and the Millfield International.
The School has its own tutor in charge of chess, Matthew Turner, who is an International Grandmaster. Masterclasses, as well as individual tuition, are available, and personalised programmes of study are arranged.
