Payment and fees

Fees are originally quoted on a per class basis, however they are payable in half term blocks in advance at the end of the half term, unless a prior arrangement has been made. Please note if your child is absent due to holidays, sickness or injury, or a prior engagement the fees are still payable and are non refundable. If fees are are not kept up to date we reserve the right to pass your place onto someone else. If fees are paid late a £10 late fee will be charged.

If your child is absent for over 3 weeks and we are not notified we will assume they are no longer attending classes and their place will be filled. If you decide to stop attending classes you must give notice in writing at the end of a half term.  Informing us at the start of a half term or part way through a term that they will not be returning is not sufficient notice. Therefore, you must give written notice in the previous term, if you do not wish to be charged further. If you pay late you will be invoiced a £10 late fee.
