Alternative Provision

Alternative Provisions rowing provides on-water rowing opportunities to young people who have been excluded from mainstream schooling.

 

The programme enables us to reach out to those most in need of the opportunities and benefits that rowing can provide, such as increased confidence, teamwork, discipline and communication skills.

For months Joseph struggled settling in. We hadn't seen any sign of self-control until the point where we decided to take him rowing. Rowing was a great contributor to his beahviour turn around in school, so much so that he started a new mainstream school in May. - Rubert Jonkers, Assistant Head at New Regent's College

We currently partner with the following Alternative Provisions, making up 10 cohorts of young people:

  • New Regent's College
  • London East Alternative Provisions
  • Mayesbrook Park
  • Tunmarsh School
  • The New Rush Hall School

To get involved, or to learn more, email Emily Coe, [email protected].
