Rowing has a rich history at St George’s College, with both boys’ and girls’ programmes going from strength to strength.

As well as this we have students aiming for junior international representation. It is an incredibly exciting time to join, with our world class Activity Centre offering a strength & conditioning Gym including 18 ergs and a Boat Club on the River Thames (scheduled for redevelopment in 2023).
Rowing is a main sport for boys and girls from Third Year onwards.
