My 6-year-old boy loves attending the skateboard club at Copeland Park in Peckham! The coaches are fantastic — super patient, encouraging, and passionate about teaching. It’s been amazing to see his confidence grow with every session. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the kids always have a great time while learning new tricks and improving their skills.

A special shoutout to Stewart, whose communication and support have been outstanding. He’s always quick to respond to my emails and is incredibly helpful with any questions I have. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the kids and their experience at the club.

Copeland Park is a great spot for the club, with good space and a fun community vibe. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an active and enjoyable activity for their child!

All the tutors are really great with the kids, their patience and their gentle style of teaching is perfect. Lessons are safe, inspiring and they adapt really well to each child's needs. Couldn't recommend enough.

The group lessons at Peckham HQ are amazing, the class sizes are small, the teachers are all very kind, patient and knowledgable. Our 5 yr old has been attending for a couple of months and is learning so quickly. We always recommend School of Skate to everyone we know!
