An introduction
A Shaolyn teacher would like to work with your school.
Schools
Skateboarding in your school.
A Shaolyn teacher comes to you with the boards, helmets and pads and runs a block of sessions on your playground or in your hall. Every teacher who works in schools holds the enhanced check for your part of the UK, with the children's barred list, and we have verified it ourselves. A member of your staff is with the group throughout.
After-school club
Six or twelve weeks, one afternoon a week, up to fifteen pupils. The club most schools start with.
PE enrichment
Skateboarding in the timetable: balance, coordination and nerve, for a class or a year group over a half-term.
Skate day
A morning or a day of short sessions so every class gets a go. A good first step before a club.
Holiday club
Daily sessions through a school holiday, run at your school or a partner venue.
You ask
Tell us about the school, the pupils and when. We reply within two working days with what we can do and a price for your school.
We plan it
Dates, times, group sizes, the space and the kit. You get a written confirmation with the teacher's name and our safeguarding statement.
We turn up
The teacher checks in at the gate, runs the session with your staff member present, and you get one invoice for the block, payable in 30 days.
Safeguarding, plainly
- Enhanced checks with the children's barred list for every teacher who works in schools: DBS in England and Wales, PVG in Scotland, AccessNI in Northern Ireland. We verify each one ourselves, from the original certificate or from the result sent straight to us when we applied for it, and state it in writing to you. A teacher whose check runs out stops school work until a new one is verified. The teacher brings the original and photo ID to the first session.
- Identity verified and over 18, checked through Stripe Identity before anyone teaches on Shaolyn.
- Helmets always. Pads for beginners. Groups of fifteen or fewer per teacher, and a member of your staff present for the whole session.
- Risk-assessed for your space before the first session, with a wet-weather plan.
- No pupil data. We never hold your pupils' names or details. You keep the register; we record a headcount.
Price on request. Kit included.
Every school is different, so we price each block for yours: the number of pupils, how long and how many the sessions are, and whether it is a club, a PE block, a skate day or a holiday club. Tell us below what you have in mind and we reply within two working days with a written price. Up to fifteen pupils per teacher; a bigger class gets a second teacher. One invoice per block, by card or bank transfer, with your PO number on it.

Questions schools ask
- How much space do we need?
- A flat, dry, swept area clear of furniture: a playground, a hall or a MUGA. About 10 by 15 metres for fifteen pupils. We check it before the first session.
- What if it rains?
- We do not skate on a wet surface. If there is a hall we move inside; if not, we reschedule the session at no cost.
- What ages?
- From Year 1 up. Primary clubs are the most common; secondary PE blocks and sixth-form skate days work well too.
- Do the children need anything?
- Trainers and clothes they can move in. We bring the boards, helmets and pads unless you have your own, which we check.
- Can parents pay instead of the school?
- Not yet. The school is our customer and gets one invoice per block, so there is no money to collect from families.
- What is the cancellation rule?
- A session cancelled by either side with 48 hours' notice is not charged. Shorter notice from the school is charged; if we or the weather cancel, we offer another date.
