Frequently Asked Questions
My daughter has never rowed before, can she still join the boat club?
For U3 to U4 pupils there is no requirement of previous Rowing experience to join the boat club. U3 rowers are all new to the sport and learn together from September. HSOBC offers a fast track programme for 4th Form students who wish to start Rowing aiming to integrate the girls into their year group Rowing squad over the course of the Autumn Term.
L5 to U6 students with no Rowing experience and who wish to join the boat club will be assessed by the Head of Rowing for suitability to join at the start of the Autumn Term and, if successful, will be able to join. For more information, please contact the Head of Rowing.
My daughter is new to the school and has previous rowing experience, can she join the boat club?
All U3 to U4 pupils are welcome to join the boat club with or without previous experience.
L5 to U6 students who wish to join the boat club will be assessed by the Head of Rowing for suitability to join at the start of the Autumn Term and, if successful, will be able to join. For more information, please contact the Head of Rowing.
Can my daughter join the boat club after the September enrolment?
Unfortunately, Headington is normally oversubscribed and so girls who do not sign up in September normally cannot be enrolled into the club until the following September. If your daughter wishes to join later in the year please contact the Head of Rowing (chermes@headingtonschool.com) to discuss the possibility of a late start.
