Home Ed Sessions

Home Education Ski Lessons

Our Home Ed Ski Lessons are designed especially for home-educated children aged 8 years and over, offering a structured and confidence-building introduction to skiing in a fun and supportive environment.

Each session runs for 1 hour (12:30 – 13:30 every Thursday), with small group sizes and experienced instructors ensuring every child gets the attention they need to progress at their own pace.

Lessons follow a four-week programme, introducing skills step-by-step. After the fourth week, the cycle restarts — meaning Session One begins again every 5th Thursday, starting from Thursday 23rd October 2025.

🏁 Session One – Introduction to Skiing

Learn the essentials of getting started on the slope, including:
• How to put on your skis
• Walking and turning on the flat
• Side-stepping and turning on the slope
• Straight run exercises
• Beginning to form a snowplough

💪 Session Two – Building Confidence

Start to develop control and independence as you master:
• Snowplough stops
• Controlling glides and straight runs
• Managing speed and direction
• Using the drag lift independently

🎿 Session Three – Turning & Control

Enhance your technique and learn how to ski with control:
• Developing snowplough turns
• Controlling speed through turning
• Stopping safely on command
• Using more of the slope with confidence

🌟 Session Four – Skiing Independently

Build towards skiing freely and confidently:
• Strong snowplough turns
• Beginning to work towards basic parallel skiing
• Using the full slope safely
• Gaining confidence to ski independently

Price: £14 per child per session
Age: 8 years and over

Whether your child is stepping onto skis for the first time or working towards independent runs, our Home Ed sessions provide a friendly and encouraging pathway through every stage.

Home Education Open Practice Sessions

For home-educated skiers who can already ski independently, our Home Ed Open Practice Sessions offer the perfect opportunity to get out on the slope, refine skills, and build confidence — all in a relaxed, supportive environment.

These sessions are supervised but not coached, allowing participants to enjoy freedom on the slope while having an instructor nearby to ensure safety. They’re ideal for those who’ve completed our Home Ed lesson programme or have prior skiing experience elsewhere.
