16 rowers and 4 coxes from The Windsor Boys’ School travelled to Boston, USA, to compete at the Head of the Charles Regatta, the world’s largest rowing event, celebrating its 60th Anniversary this year. With thousands of crews and over 100,000 spectators, it was an unforgettable experience and a true celebration of rowing at its best.

This marked the school’s fourth US trip in recent years, continuing the outstanding international programme that also includes events in Amsterdam, Ghent, Gavirate, Lago Azul, and across Great Britain.

The First Quad raced superbly in the Youth Coxed Quads event, successfully defending their 2023 & 2024 titles to take Gold, achieving an unprecedented hat-trick of wins.

The Coxed Eight made an impressive debut at the event, navigating through a large field to finish 19th, while the Second Quad produced a determined performance for 11th place. These results demonstrate the strength, depth, and dedication within the TWBS rowing programme.

A special mention also to the TWBS cox who joined Tideway Scullers in the Youth Women’s Coxed Quad, finishing 4th - a fantastic result and brilliant experience.

It is inspiring to see the school’s alumni progressing to prestigious US universities including Princeton, Harvard, Brown, Penn, and UC California, showing what can be achieved through excellence in both sport and academics.

Our congratulations and thanks go to coaches Mark Wilkinson and Ben Liddell, Mr Manwaring, and all the parents who travelled to support the team.

It was a phenomenal achievement from The Windsor Boys’ School, representing our Trust on the international rowing stage.
