Hinksey Sculling School is a community rowing club on the River Thames for junior rowers. The club is unusual in the fact that it operates from three venues across Oxfordshire, England.[1][2][3] The Sculling School runs as a charity in order to provide the facilities to the younger members[4] and it was founded as the United Kingdom's first community program for rowing.[5]
The first and original venue is for the beginners and is situated at the South Oxford Community Centre in Lake Street, Oxford, with some training on Hinksey Lake in Hinksey Park. The second venue (for club members aged in the 13 to 15 age bracket) is based at St Edward's School Boathouse on Godstow Road in Oxford, where it shares the boathouse with the St Edward's School Boat Club. The third and final venue (for club members aged in the 16 to 18 age bracket) is based at Radley College Boathouse in Lower Radley, Abingdon, where it shares the landing stage with the Radley College Boat Club.[6]
