Teddies National Schools' Regatta 2024

Welcome to the National Schools' Regatta! I am delighted to see so many St Edward's pupils racing at the premiere junior rowing event in the calendar! There are three days of racing in a variety of boat types and there will be around 5,300 competitors, aged between 14-18. St Edward’s has a proud connection to the Regatta as in 1947, as a result of a desire to provide wider experience and competition, Mr Desmond Hill, then Master-in-Charge of Rowing at St Edward’s School, issued invitations to the Third VIIIs of Shrewsbury, Bedford School, and Radley to race St Edward's at Godstow, and so the National Schools’ Regatta was born. After the success of last year, the excitement around school and the Boat Club has been building all week and I know our crews will enjoy the experience, and are determined to show their best performance. As Head of Rowing, I am extremely proud of all the Teddies crews and I know they will remember this event for many years to come. This year continues with the Senior Championship VIII’s, 4X’s & 1X’s racing over two days, with all finals raced on the Sunday. The racing throughout is sure to be top class and if you need a break from the excitement, then sit back and enjoy the fantastic catering supplied by our first-class chefs! A final thank you to all the coaches and staff who have worked hard to prepare the Teddies crews for this festival of rowing. Enjoy your day and be ready to cheer on the Teddies crews!
