School of Skate News Update
Skateboarding a GCSE subject in Wales and NI
Skateboarding has been introduced as a GCSE PE subject in Wales and Northern Ireland due to its popularity, and in no small part due to the fact that it is now included in the Olympics. It is expected to be introduced across the rest of the UK in the near future. Similar to sports such as gymnastics and ice skating, points are given for the difficulty of tricks landed and how well they are executed.
Skateboarding in Paris Olympics 2024

You can learn to skateboard at School of Skate’s purpose-built facility in Copeland Park, Peckham.

You can join affordable group lessons, private classes, organise parties, and skate camp will run throughout the school holidays, where you can drop the kids off or stay and work from the viewing gallery WiFi.
