TERMS & CONDITIONS JANUARY 2023 

FEES         

For the first half term of attending lessons please pay weekly. An email invoice will be generated for the number of upcoming weeks in the half term, and it can be paid via bank transfer (details of which are listed on the invoice), or by using a credit/debit card; cash and cheques are not accepted. Lessons operate all year round with approximately 8 weeks off throughout the year.

For the following half term, invoices must be paid in full by the date shown to secure the student’s place. Failure to pay on time will result in the student being refused lessons.

Fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable despite the students’ attendance. The fees secure the student's place in the class.

Should lessons be cancelled for a reason of which the teacher or principal has no control, ie, snow preventing travel or heat preventing safe lesson delivery, lesson refunds or compensation cannot be given.


HOLIDAYS

We operate lessons throughout the summer holidays to keep routine for the children and to continue their development.

Throughout the academic year (September-August), you can request a maximum of 4 ‘holidays per subject’, where you do not have to pay for lessons. The maximum holidays a family can apply for in the month of August is 2 weeks.

Holiday requests must be placed via email at least 3 weeks prior to the start of the half term in which your holiday falls. Failure to request holidays in time will result in normal class charges being applied. Other missed classes are still chargeable.
