Year 6 dive into Rowing with Olympic inspiration

This week, our Year 6 pupils had an exciting introduction to rowing at Henley Rowing Club.

Under the guidance of three excellent coaches, including Sam Redgrave, a Silver medal winning member of the women's coxless four from the Paris Olympics, they learned the basics — from carrying and setting up the boats to rowing technique and coxing. Each pupil had the chance to go out in a coxed quad and use the rowing machines, as well as hearing about Sam's rowing journey.

It was a fantastic hands-on experience!
