THE WALSH ACADEMY Booking Policy

Class Bookings

THE WALSH ACADEMY does not provide drop-in classes for children and young people on all term time courses.  All courses must be booked in advance before beginning of each half term. 

New students may join courses during the term subject to availability and authorisation of the THE WALSH ACADEMY management team.


If there are no spaces on a requested course when booking then THE WALSH ACADEMY will aim to provide an alternative option where possible.

 

Waiting List

 

Members on the waiting list will be contacted in order of the list. If members are unavailable no message will be left. The next member will be contacted and the first to make contact will receive the place.

 

Placement Priority on Courses

 

·       Current Students continuing in same course

·       Current students changing courses and additional courses

·       Siblings of current students

·       Waiting lists of new students

 

Where possible THE WALSH ACADEMY will aim to let people know of any changes in venue or class time at least one week ahead of schedule.

 


Payments

Full payment must be received in advance to confirm a place for the next half term.

For all current students, courses must be registered in advance. Payment can be made up until the last day of the previous term to guarantee the place. If payment for registered places is not received by this time and the THE WALSH ACADEMY office hasn’t been contacted in advance, then the place will be offered to another student using the priority listed above.


Non-payments

Failure to make payment before term starts may result in no place being available. If this happens THE WALSH ACADEMY will make every attempt to offer an alternative course or arrangement.  If this is not possible then your name will be added to a waiting list.

 

 

Cancellation

 

THE WALSH ACADEMY requires two weeks notice if you do not wish your child to continue classes the next half term.

 

Occasionally some classes may be cancelled due to circumstances beyond THE WALSH ACADEMY control. The administration team will endeavour to contact paid customers and will either offer an exchange for the class or, in rare cases of a cancellation, a full refund will be given.

 

THE WALSH ACADEMY reserves the right to cancel a class if there are fewer than seven participants on a course and the above efforts will be made to place a student in an alternative class or offer a pro-rata refund where appropriate.

If a single class does not take place due to circumstances beyond our control, THE WALSH ACADEMY will view this class as postponed and will reschedule.

 


Refunds

THE WALSH ACADEMY cannot offer a refund if you do not attend a class.


The first class is considered a 'trial' class. If for any reason the class is not suitable, we must be notified before the second class. Please note, no refund or reduction will be made after the second class has taken place, whether further classes have been attended or not.
