STRIVING FOR MORE

Classes are constantly monitored to ensure that every individual child is looked after, cared for, and is making the best use of their time at the academy. We will not hesitate to get in touch if we feel that your child would excel in alternate or additional classes.

CLASSES TO CATER FOR ALL 

Whether you want to introduce your 2 year old to Ballet or Song & Dance, or you think that your teen has the potential to pursue a career in Performing Arts, we have classes to suit your needs.

FLEXIBLE AND INDIVIDUAL TIMETABLES

Work with our team to develop a truly personal timetable that reflects the needs of your child and adapt as and when to suit their growing needs.

Our Fees

Our fee procedure is designed to be as affordable as possible, whilst giving children flexibility in their classes and schedules

How often do I pay my fees?

Unlike most schools that require a term’s fees in advance, our fees are paid monthly.

 

When are fees due?

Fees are due on the 20th of every month to cover classes for the whole of the next month. For example, you would pay your fees to cover classes for the whole month of November on the 20th October.

We do not charge for the month of August. Fees for September are collected on 20th July. No payment is collected in August.

 

What about months when there are fewer classes than others?

To keep things straightforward our fees are calculated on an annual basis and split between 11 monthly payments – we do not charge for the month of August. There are 36 weeks of classes per year.

This avoids confusion caused by changing the fees every month depending on how many classes are in that particular calendar month. This also means we do not offer reductions for months with less than four classes, or charge more for months with extra classes.

 

What happens if I miss a class?

We do not refund classes in case of any absence, including sickness, holidays, auditions or professional work secured by the child. We would, of course refund any class that was cancelled by us.

 

What happens if I pay my fees late?

If fees are not paid by the 20th of the month, you will pay a £15 late fee charge to cover extra administration costs. Obviously if fees have not been paid, then children will not be allowed to participate in classes.

Please be aware there is a minimum charge of £10 for every returned cheque.

 

What methods of payment do you accept?

Fees are paid through Go Cardless, a direct debit that comes out of your account on the 20th of every month. You should register your payment details at reception. If not, you will need to request an email invitation from a member of the team. This must be completed before your child is able to attend classes.

 

Is there a joining fee?

A registration fee of £30 will be due on joining to secure a place for your child.

 

What should I do if I want to stop one or all of my classes?

We require one month’s written notice (an email or letter) as you pay your last months fees, to stop one or more of your classes. For example, if you gave in written notice at the end of September, fees for October would still be due. Of course, we would always be happy to welcome pupils back should they wish to return.

 

In case of a full school closure

If the school is asked to close for reasons beyond our control, then no refund will be given- classes will instead move online. We will be in touch via email should this happen.
