Junior Gliding



The Vale of White Horse Gliding Centre is a BGA accredited Junior Gliding Centre. Our aim is to enable and encourage young people to actively get involved in the rewarding sport of gliding. 



We offer Junior members discounted membership and flying fees.


You can go solo at the age of 14 and commence flying training at 13.


All instruction is given by British Gliding Association accredited instructors who are CRB checked.


Why not come along to the airfield on a weekend and have an informal chat with a member or instructor. It will give you the opportunity to get to know the club first.


You could also combine this with a first flight.

Child Protection & Safeguarding

Detailed policies are in place relating to the supervision, safeguarding and development of our junior members. This includes a comprehensive child protection policy, allowing the next generation of glider pilots to thrive in a safe and welcoming environment.

Child Protection Officer

Through its Child Protection policy and procedures, The VoWHGC encourages all participants in gliding to assist with safeguarding the welfare of all junior participants including, protecting them from physical, sexual and emotional harm. 

 

If you suspect abuse, a young person confides in you, or a complaint is made about any adult or about you - it’s your duty to report the concern to Chris.
