The Boat Club is greatly honoured to be presented with medals belonging to former Captain of Boats and Olympian John Lander, who joined the School in 1926. He is the only Olympic gold medallist to have been kille...

Among the many impressive performances at this year's Victoria, Sabrina and Williams Sculls, Upper Sixth Former Louis Nares achieved a notable first in the history of the Boat Club. 

The Bumping Races have been the climax of our inter-house rowing races at Shrewsbury since 1867. They have lost none of their excitement over the years.

An exciting and historic moment for the RSSBC – and possibly a first for any school – as our 1st VIII, 2nd VIII, Senior Girls’ Quad and Sabrina alumni VIII all compete at Henley Royal Regatta.

In a thrilling final between the top crews in the country, the Senior Girls’ 1st Quad won silver in the Sherriff Cup for Championship Quadruple Sculls at the National Schools’ Regatta. 

On Sunday 5th May four Shrewsbury crews travelled to Dorney Lake to compete at the Wallingford Regatta.

The 1st VIII broke a 72-year-old record with their outstanding performance over the 5,000m North of England Head course on the River Dee on Saturday.

The Boat Club took five crews to race at the Schools’ Head of the River in London on Friday 15th March, the most prestigious event of the 'head' calendar.

Whether reaching for the heights of elite level performance or simply 'having a go', the meandering River Severn at Shrewsbury School is a great teacher of teamwork, resilience and perseverance.
