Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School – Director of Rowing

Borlase Rowing Club was established in 1921 and is known for its competitiveness in rowing and particularly sculling at national and international level. The club has enjoyed substantial successes at the National Schools’ Regatta and Junior World Championships and is particularly associated with success in The Fawley Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. This is an exciting time to join the boat club.

The club has over 240 members from Year 8 to Year 13, boys and girls, who train on the river at Marlow, a 15 minute walk from the school. The Director of Rowing will report to the Director of Sport and PE and to the Headteacher. The highly committed Parents Support Group fund junior coaches and members of the teaching staff also contribute to coaching. The school is proud of its excellent fleet of boats, blades and gym equipment. We currently row out of Longridge and have recently had planning permission granted for a new Boat House.

The Role

The school seeks to appoint a talented and inspirational Director of Rowing who has the technical, management and leadership skills to help deliver and build on the school’s vision for rowing. The successful candidate needs to have the passion, drive and commitment to help lead a high performance sculling centre preparing athletes to compete in The Fawley Challenge Cup and the Diamond Jubilee Cup, and in other boat types including eights across the major regattas and competitions.
