Skate After School

Here at Campus we offer a range of youth services both off-site and on-site for children of all ages. Read more below.

We are proud to offer after-school skate clubs for various schools across Bristol. We currently work with a number of Primary and Secondary Schools including May Park Primary School, Chew Magna School, Winterbourne Academy, and Sidcot School both on-site and off-site.

Skateboarding is nearly impossible to master and it can be hard to even get started.

This is why we run our after-school clubs - to break down those initial barriers, grow confidence and in short give you the basic skills you need to get rolling!

Over the course of the term, our aim is to build enough skills and confidence in every young person for them to be able to then visit any skatepark and use the space safely and responsibly.

What we cover:

Skatepark Etiquette / Pushing / Terminology / Basic flat ground tricks

What to expect:

Games / Group work / A lot of fun!

Testimonials

  • A group of children with skateboards, bikes, and helmets gathered outdoors on a wooden platform in front of a brick building, smiling and posing for the photo.

    My daughter is in one of the classes and she absolutely loved it! The feedback from teachers has been amazing too, we’d love to have Campus back again next year!

  • A young boy wearing a helmet skateboarding at an indoor skatepark, with a woman assisting him. Two other children are nearby, one leaning on a ledge and another standing behind.

    Campus recently started Skate After School lessons at my childs school. They were very friendly, encouraging and helpful and it was a fantastic way for my son to build up his confidence before braving the skate parks, which sometimes can be a bit overwhelming for new starters! Thanks Team, great work!

  • A woman helping a young girl on a skateboard at an outdoor skate park with a group of people watching in the background.

    Everyone really enjoyed it and it was a fantastic experience. I've had loads of great feedback from the kids and their parents. I would definitely like to explore more visits/trips and we look into how we can spend our sports premium money!

    Ashton Gate Primary

  • A group of children and an adult standing on skateboards on a low ledge outside, all wearing different colored helmets, with green trees and a building in the background.

    The Campus team were really flexible and accommodating to our requirements. Communication was great making the whole process stress free to organise. It was nice to have something properly different for our school enrichment week and the students really enjoyed it. It was really nice in particular to see students with no prior skating experience getting stuck in and giving it a go. I hope to book them again next year to work with more students!

  • Children wearing helmets skateboarding and sitting on skateboards in a schoolyard with cones, trees, and buildings in the background.

    The team from Campus are absolutely fantastic with the children. They supported everyone to feel confident to get on a board. Pupils who were nervous came back absolutely buzzing about learning to skate and others learnt their first tricks! The skate instructors were great role models and showed the pupils that the skateboard community is a positive, supportive and inclusive space. Thank you Campus!

    My daughter has loved taking part in Skate After School. She was nervous before the first session, especially as she was the youngest there, but came out beaming and telling us about all the skills and tricks she's learning. I feel like the teacher and other kids have really built up her confidence too, and several kids told me how well she had done after the club. We're so pleased that our school is offering this club and hope to keep going next year!

    May Park has run Skate After School with Campus for three terms this year. The children have really enjoyed the sessions, recommending it to friends and continuing to skateboard outside of school. We have had the opportunity to use our school grounds which has enhanced the experience for the children. The Campus staff have been fantastic, particularly Bella, who has made sessions welcoming, fun, informative and inclusive ensuring that all those who attend improve their skills as well as having a great time. Parents have also appreciated this addition to our after-school provision and we hope to continue with the sessions in the future.

    My son absolutely loves Skateboarding Club after school. He’s done it every term and enjoys what he learns at every session. He has so much fun and I hope this continues to stay at his school. Nicola
