Our adult ice programme is led by British Ice Skating licensed coaches so you can know that you are receiving top-quality training.

Skate UK and Skate Star, the official Learn to Skate programmes by British Ice Skating, are designed to keep skaters engaged, boost their confidence, and enhance their athletic and technical skills.

Progress throughout each badge is recorded by our skating coaches on their tablets during/straight after each session. Skaters are then able to log in here to their personal Homeportal account which allows them to track their own progress.

Using the information provided skaters can identify areas to work on and have the opportunity to book into one of our public skating sessions to practice these out with weekly classes.
