Before you join

Adult beginners: This is an internal Bristol Grammar School activity. The current pages offer no public adult membership or visitor route. Staff, parents and other adults should contact the school instead of attending a session without school instructions.
Junior paddlers: Canoeing is part of the Year 8 enrichment rota. The school also says Sixth Form Duke of Edinburgh participants may complete expeditions by canoe or kayak. Places, ability requirements and current dates are not published, so pupils need the live school programme.
Equipment: The directory records on-site kit storage. Neither source names any kayak, canoe, paddle, flotation gear or clothing made available to a pupil. Families should use the equipment list issued for the relevant lesson or expedition.
Accessibility: Public pages give no details of modified boats, assisted transfers or one-to-one access help for canoeing. Pupils and families should discuss individual requirements with the school before selecting the activity or expedition.
Where the club paddles: The public pages do not name a regular canoeing venue. University Road is the school contact address, not a stated waterside base. The school also uses its Failand site for wider outdoor education, so the staff instructions control each meeting point.
