I am very surprised by Robin comments, traditionally chess is pretty well catered for at primary level, but falls away dramatically at secondary school level. The are a number of coaches doing good work with secondary school pupils in Scotland, but this is a (very) limited number of players. You only need look at the Glorney Cup where if players are unavailable you very quickly have to draw in players from younger age groups.
There is a huge amount in what Derek says.
