St Edward's School Boat Club is a rowing club on the River Thames based at St Edwards School Boathouse on Godstow Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire. It is the rowing club belonging to St Edward's School, Oxford (also known as Teddies). [1]
Rowing is one of the sports available for pupils as an extracurricular activity at the School. [2] Old St Edwards or OSE (former pupils) have their own rowing club called the Martyrs. [3] The club is responsible for the founding of the National Schools' Regatta which was first raced in 1947 as the "Colts and Third Eights Regatta". A teacher called Desmond Hill who was responsible for the rowing at the School invited teams from Shrewsbury, Bedford and Radley to race against St. Edwards in Godstow. [4] The club has won the coveted 'Triple' (Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta, the Queen Mother Cup at the National Schools' Regatta and the Schools' Head of the River Race) on one occasion in 1984. The Club has won The Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta on five occasions. The only British schools to have won the event more than this are Eton College and St Paul's School, London. In 2023, the Boat Club became the first co-educational school to win Gold in Championship events for both boys and girls in the same National School's Regatta, wining the Jim Mason Plate for Girls Coxed Fours [5] (for the second time) and the Queen Mother Challenge Cup for Boys Eights [6] (for the fourth time).
