Arrival and Collection
Please make sure your child is brought to class on time. Being late disturbs the children who have already started the class. Please also make sure your child is picked up on time. It’s very difficult to get the next class started if children are still waiting to be collected 5 minutes after their class has finished.
Viewing Classes
We do not allow parents in to watch dance classes at any time. From previous experience this has proved to be very distracting for your child, the participating children and the teacher. If your child is 5yrs old or under we ask you not to leave the building and wait in the waiting area in case your child needs you at any time. However, open classes are organised at the end of every term.
Security
If your child is to be collected by someone else other than yourself please inform the teacher.
No Jewellery or valuables to be brought to class – any damage or loss is not the Schools responsibility.
Payments
* Fees must be paid by the second week of term or a 20% increase will be incurred.
* All Fees are payable in advance by term or standing order on the 1st of each month.
* Private lessons must be paid in full 1 week in advance.
* Membership is paid annually at a cost of £20 and £15 for additional siblings.
* Fees are non refundable.
* Deposit of £25 is payable upon joining the Academy. This is refundable upon leaving if your account is clear of debt only.
* Dance is a physical act and that if there are any objections of contact being made between teacher & pupil you must inform the principal or office.
* On occasions it is necessary for videos/photographs to be taken. Please sign to indicate your agreement to this.
* If your account is overdue then you or your child are NOT able to take part in any class until the account is settled in full.
Missed classes
If your child is sick and you miss a class, you can join another class instead. It does not necessarily have to be the same style. Fees will not be refunded.
Please contact the school office if you decide to withdraw your child from the school in order to give other children on the waiting list the opportunity to join.
Accidents
Any accident your child may have during class will be dealt with accordingly and an accident form completed. You will be made aware of any accidents and we will ask you to sign the accident form.
Uniform
All children must wear the correct uniform or appropriate dance clothes. No jeans or outdoor shoes allowed at any time. Hair must be tied up for all classes and in a bun for Ballet. All can be purchased from the school office.
Bullying
Under NO circumstances will any form of harassment or bullying to any member of the school be tolerated. This is taken very seriously and can result in dismissal.
Mobile Phones
Must be switched off during classes.
Smoking/Litter
This is a non-smoking school. We do not leave any litter – there are bins in both the kitchen and office.
