Welcome to QEHS rowing club

For many of our young people, joining the rowing club provides them with a passion and focus throughout their time at school. We provide opportunities for young people to learn and develop through actively engaging in a physical activity and seeing the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Many of our rowers continue to row at university and into their adult lives.

For many, rowing really does become a way of life.

We actively promote the following core values:

Transparent, fair and direct in all our actions to each other.

Respect: Sporting Behaviour

Rowing Club Kit

Club Rowing Kit—Initially, a school PE kit is more than suitable for learning to row. It is recommended that rowers have school leggings and the school 1/4 zip to keep them warm for both land-based and river-based sessions. Once you are a club member, an order will be placed to purchase the club-specific kit.

A welcome pack will be sent to you once your application has been processed.
