They also came equal second in the U13 championship. There were strong individual performances as well, including an individual U11 first for Harvey Kandohla.
Headmaster David Malam said: "I am very proud of the pupils winning this prestigious national event.
"They put a lot of effort into practising and deserved their win, defeating some of the largest and strongest independent chess-playing schools in the country."
