Onboard Skatepark Sheffield offers a unique approach to education, blending the power of extreme sports with personal and academic development. Our Alternative Provision programs provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment for young people who may struggle in traditional settings. Through skateboarding, BMX, and scootering, we help students build resilience, confidence, and essential life skills while supporting their academic journey.

Our education programs are built around the neurosequential model, using movement and structured activities to aid self-regulation and focus. This approach is particularly effective for young people with social, emotional, or sensory needs, as it allows them to learn in a way that feels natural and empowering.

Alongside physical activity, we embed core subjects such as PSHE, English and Maths into practical, real-world learning experiences. Students also work towards AQA Unit Awards and other accreditations, ensuring progress is recognised and celebrated.

With a team of experienced mentors and educators, we create personalised plans that meet individual needs. Our holistic approach includes building positive relationships, developing soft skills like teamwork and communication, and preparing students for future education or employment pathways.

At Onboard, education isn’t confined to the classroom—it’s about unlocking potential through movement, creativity, and connection. Whether it’s overcoming a challenge on a BMX or achieving a personal goal, every success builds confidence for life.
