Skerries for Schools is a charitable organisation with the express purpose of giving young people and challenged adults access to the river so that they may discover for themselves the team-work, adventure, and fun of traditional fixed-seat rowing. 

Our brands, Skerries for Schools and Thames Community Rowing, provide specific, tailored programmes to engage all our users.

Why Rowing?

Traditional rowing is a fantastic, accessible way to experience the river for both beginners and experts.

​The stable nature of the skerry boat will calm any newcomers nerves and help develop confidence, physical coordination, and teamwork skills within a group.

You don't need to be tall or particularly strong or athletic. All you need is a willingness to have a go!
