Thanks for the lesson on Sunday at Victoria Park Skatepark - the instructor was great, kind and supportive, and my daughter (7) loved it and her confidence has immediately sky-rocketed. We'll be back!

My two boys had a great day at School of Skate camp. They really enjoyed the variety of activities throughout the day and came home enthusiastic to practice more! Thank you!

I booked a lesson to try skateboarding for the first time. Less than an hour before it was meant to start, I got a short email saying that my reservation was cancelled. I'm now sat next to the closed building and I'm very confused. Hoping that there will be a refund, and wondering how I could reliably book lessons in the future.Update: I did get an email clarifying that there was a technical issue, and it provided a code that can be used for an extra booking. Despite the technical trouble, I appreciated the responsiveness. I've yet to attend a lesson still, but I'll update my review after I do that!Update: went to a lesson - and it was brilliant! Would def recommend

Had my son’s birthday party at School of Skate and all the kids had a blast. The space is fantastic and the instructor was very patient with a bunch of 6 year olds! Would highly recommend.

My 14 year old nephew had several lessons at School of Skate as a gift from me and his Uncle. He went to Victoria Park in East London and was taught by the incredible Soren! My nephew would come away feeling happy, confident and proud in his new skills!! I could also see the progress and passion for skating emerge after lessons with Soren. Soren has a natural ability with a range of ages and has a calm and patient demeanor. My nephew would come home and sing Soren's praises and said "he was a pretty cool guy and a great teacher!" Which from a teenager is high praise indeed!!Thanks again to Soren and the team. You made summer fun!

I had a one-on-one class with Soren P from School of Skate this week. It was a lot of fun and he gave me some great tips - even managed to drop into a decent ramp unassisted by the end (something I had never done before). Would highly recommend! Cheers Soren 🙂

We had a birthday party at School of Skate for our 7 year old at Peckham Rye. They had a blast. To quote one of the kids “Best Party Ever!”

I had my first skate lesson today and it was super!!! Rick was attentive, experienced and helped me progress very quickly. I am learning to surf skate so it was great to find somebody able to give me exercise specifically for this. Thanks!

Nilo ran a party for my son and his friends (12 x 5-6 year olds!) and it was fantastic! Most were quite nervous at the beginning, having not skateboarded before, however by the end of it their confidence and skills had really grown and they were all beaming with smiles.The parents have been passing on many thanks for an awesome party too.Highly recommended. Thank you School Of Skate!

My 8 year old has gained so much in confidence since having private lessons with Nilo and in just four sessions his technique has progressed so much. He absolutely loves Nilo. Highly recommend.

Fantastic skateboarding lesson, great experience and lots of fun! Jonty managed to give lots of attention to each one of the kids. He made the lesson fun and engaging but also tailored the practice to help each one of them to improve their skills. They all progressed really fast and gained a lot of confidence.

Stuart is a fun and skilled teacher and my 8 yr pld and his friend had a great time. They finished the lesson feeling more confident having learned new skills. I would highly recommend these sessions.

I took my 7 year old son for a 1 hour private lesson with his friend at School of Skate. He really enjoyed himself and progressed far faster in that hour than he ever had done before. We now have a set of things to work on to improve, and will definitely be booking another lesson in future.

My son does the beginner skateboard lessons at Charlton park and he's loving it. Nilo (the teacher) is brilliant, really knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic, and excellent with the kids. Would highly recommend. So glad we found School of Skate

Rick was a great tutor for our 10 year old boy who is allergic to exercise. At the end of the 1 hour lesson he did not want to attend in the least, he announced "BTW I'm so coming back next week"! He has a mountain to climb in terms of learning to skate board but is in the right hands for this task. The class was great as instead of all the participants being given the same instructions, each child was taught what they needed to learn for their individual pace, skill level & past experience. We were very impressed with the calm, considerate & expert attention to each child's unique needs
