We have a proud history of international representation beyond the school, most notably with three current Olympians who will race in Paris 2024 and two current boys who became Junior World Champions last year in the Men’s Eight. Success is not just seen through medals at junior level but by boys continuing to enjoy the sport well beyond Radley.
Radley College offers outstanding training facilities, including a picturesque 6km stretch of the Thames, a top-tier fleet of boats, 11 coaching launches, a rowing tank, an ergo room, and a strength and conditioning centre.
The Head Coach will be a highly proficient technical coach with an excellent understanding of the rowing stroke and planning a training programme. They will be expected to fully buy into the ethos of sport at the College, which emphasises the values of sportsmanship and encourages widespread participation as well as the pursuit of extensive success at elite school level.
