Terms and Conditions

Please ensure that you read the terms and conditions of enrolment before submitting a registration form. These rules apply to all pupils, including those who currently attend classes. If possible, please read through these with your child/ren.

Fees

Fees are based on 11 to 13 week terms, unless your child/ren is joining the class mid-term. Fees will be reviewed annually. Payment is due by the date stated on the invoice. Alongside this, fees must be paid within the first two weeks of term. If payment is not sent within these allocated time periods, a 30% increase will be incurred.

Missed Lessons

If the teacher is unavailable to give any scheduled lesson, and a supply teacher cannot be arranged, the lesson will be carried forward to another date. If this is not possible, any fee already paid will be refunded. There will be no reduction in fees for lessons missed by the pupil.

Notice to Leave

Half a term’s notice is required if a pupil will not be continuing with a class. Failure to do so will result in half a term’s fee being charged.

Lost Property

For classes held at the West Faversham Community Centre, lost property is left in the Centre office. For classes held at Tyler Hill, Kennington, Herne and Swalecliffe Community Centre, Miss Sophie or the allocated teacher will keep lost property in their possession.

Uniform

All pupils must wear the correct uniform for each class (if you are unsure what this is, see the website). Hair must be tied back at all times. Ballet students should endeavour to wear their hair in a bun.

Discipline

Pupils are expected to conduct themselves in a disciplined manner whilst attending classes and be respectful to both teachers and fellow pupils at all times. This will ensure the safety and well being of everyone. Mobile phones must be turned off or switched to silent if brought in to class. This applies to both parents and students. Parents should be aware that due to the nature of dance it is necessary for the teacher to use physical contact when training young dancers.

Pupils may on occasions be photographed or filmed during class and performances. By taking part in our school activities you are agreeing to this happening, unless you have otherwise informed the school in writing.

Miss Sophie’s Dance Academy reserves the right to amend or alter these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice.
