Chess Club

Chess Club - competing with other schools in our borough to excel!

At Lift Kingsley we aim to provide a range of enrichment activities to all students that allow them to experience opportunities beyond the classroom. Through an expansive enrichment offer students will be confident and develop skills that will support them when they leave the school and our comprehensive enrichment offer is also built around our values, fostering kindness, courage and curiosity.

The enrichment and personal development programme at Lift Kingsley aims to develop a curriculum that extends beyond the academic. The opportunities offered to students will allow students to understand how to play a positive and successful role within our society. We want to support the character development of all of our students and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life. We aim to provide our students with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be an active member of a diverse society
