Hampton School – Rowing Intern

Hampton is one of the country’s foremost academically selective independent schools, and this is an excellent opportunity to join a vibrant and successful team in a happy, high-achieving environment. Sport is a major part of both curricular and co-curricular life at Hampton School and plays an essential role in the physical, emotional, and social development of every boy in the school. We are justifiably proud of the facilities, support, expertise, and talent provided by the Games and PE Departments. This position represents an outstanding opportunity for an aspiring Rowing Coach to join Hampton School from September 2023. The successful candidate will be passionate about rowing and ideally hold British Rowing and RYA L2 Powerboat qualifications. You will be highly motivated, enthusiastic, and dedicated to ensuring the best outcome for Hampton Rowers. Boys in the First to Fourth Years have a double period of Games each week; the Fifth Year, Lower Sixth, and Upper Sixth share a triple period each Wednesday afternoon. Unlike at many other schools, Hampton pupils can choose their preferred sport and have a wide choice. We compete in prestigious local, regional, and national competitions as well as holding regular fixtures with schools from across the region. It is expected that boys treat themselves, their opponents, and all officials with proper respect and courtesy, and they are encouraged to play with a sense of adventure and freedom without self-indulgence. Each major sport has its own Master-In-Charge. The staffing of Games at Hampton is generous. In addition to the PE Staff, many of the academic staff are talented sportspeople and they offer additional teaching and support on the sports field. We are also fortunate to have regular visits from outside expert performers and specialist coaches. The boys row on the Molesey stretch of the River Thames, which is just a short run from the school. Our facilities are outstanding with a superb boathouse and impressive fleet of boats. The school has a dedicated coaching team headed by its own full-time Director of Rowing, Colin Greenaway, a former international athlete and Junior International Coach for the Great Britain Team. Pupils begin learning the discipline in the Third Year when they will be taught to scull. The emphasis is on enjoyment and watermanship. There are regular training camps in the holidays, some at the Boathouse, but also in Spain and Belgium. Hampton’s rowing department has a thriving Parents’ Association which raises funds to support our rowers. Application Dates:

From Friday 28th June 2024 to Wednesday 3rd July 2024.
