Community Activities

London Youth Rowing

We have a FREE on water taster day in bell boats and skerry rowing boats for SEND pupils aged between 11-18 over this half term. The only requirement is that pupils are able to physically support themselves in a sitting position.

Parents will be welcome to join us and get involved in having a nice time on the water. 

 

When? Thursday 31st October 10:30-12:00

 

Where? The Olympic Park LYR Pontoon - Thornton Bridge, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, E20 2AQ

 

Accessibility: This is appropriate for any SEND pupil aged 11-18 who is able to support themselves sitting uprright. It is also appropriate for carers and parents of SEND children. Any learning difficulty or physical disability is welcome as long as the pupil can sit upright independently. 

We are looking into chairs which will help pupils who are unable to sit upright without support, but we sadly havent got any of them yet!

 

Parking: You can park in the Aquatic centre

 

Safety: We will have qualified coaches with experience teaching SEND looking after the boats and pupils as well as safety cover. All participants will be provided with buoyancy aids. The session will aim to be fun and relaxing for all of the participants and a good way to explore on water rowing/ paddling. 

 

What do I need to bring: Comfortable and warm clothing in which you can move! A snack and a waterbottle is also a good idea. Sunscreen is also always a good idea.
