National Schools’ Regatta 2025
After an eight-year hiatus, it is a pleasure to see the Regatta return to the iconic National Water Sports Centre. With its traditional six-lane racing format, this course offers a unique atmosphere and a welcome change from the eight-lane setup at Dorney – one that many of our seasoned competitors and coaches will be excited to experience again.
I am especially proud to share that St Edward’s has brought an outstanding squad of 78 pupils to compete at this year’s event – a testament to the strength and spirit of our rowing programme. The National Schools’ Regatta is the premier junior rowing event in the calendar, and it is a tremendous opportunity for young athletes aged 14–18 to showcase their talent, commitment, and passion for the sport.
Excitement has been building all week across the school and Boat Club, and I know our athletes are determined to give their very best. As Head of Rowing, I am immensely proud of each and every crew. This Regatta will be a milestone in their rowing journeys – one they will carry with them for many years.
We’re in for a weekend of outstanding racing and memorable moments. And if you find yourself needing a break from the action, be sure to enjoy the exceptional catering provided by our talented chefs.
Soak it all in, cheer loudly, and best of luck to all the competitors – especially our Teddies crews!
Adam Moffatt, Head of Rowing
