Terms and Conditions

• For the full VIBE Student Code, see www.vibearts.co.uk/terms-and-conditions

 

2. Attendance, Absence and Punctuality

• Students must be dropped off and collected promptly. Persistent lateness may result in additional charges to cover staff time and venue hire.
• All absences should be reported as early as possible, including planned absences (e.g., holidays, family events).
• If a student is to be collected by someone other than their registered parent or guardian, Vibe Arts must be informed in advance.
• Vibe Arts must be informed if a student is going home alone, where this is not their usual arrangement.
• Vibe Arts does not offer refunds for missed classes or if a student withdraws during the term.

 

3. Withdrawal from Classes

• If a parent or guardian is considering withdrawing their child from Saturday School, this must be formally submitted via our online notice form: www.vibearts.co.uk/give-notice
• This form is the only official channel for giving notice.
• Notice must be given before the end of the current term to avoid being liable for the next term’s fees.

 

4. Parent/Guardian Responsibilities

• Parents/guardians are not permitted to remain on the premises during classes unless pre-agreed with the Principals. An exception can be made for Junior Vibe students during their first two sessions.
• Parents/guardians must notify Vibe Arts immediately of any changes to emergency contact or medical information.
• Parents/guardians must not attempt to engage teaching staff in discussions during class time.
• Parents/guardians are kindly asked to avoid engaging teaching staff in extended conversations at drop-off and pick-up times. While we understand there may be quick updates or hellos, our priority is always the safety and supervision of the students. Staff need to remain fully focused during transitions between sessions.
• For any questions, concerns, complaints or updates, please email the Vibe Arts Principals directly at [email protected] so we can respond appropriately and without disrupting the running of the day. The Principals of Vibe Arts will ensure all communication is handled appropriately and in a timely manner.

 

5. Teaching Staff and Class Grouping

• Vibe Arts reserves the right to change, reassign, or substitute teaching staff at any time. Staff absences may occasionally be covered by suitable replacements or guest practitioners.
• Class groupings are arranged by staff based on the four A’s: Age, Ability, Attention, and Attitude. These placements are at the discretion of Vibe Arts and are reviewed periodically.

 

6. Fees and Payment

• All fees must be paid in full prior to the start of each term unless a payment plan has been agreed in advance.
• Fees can be paid by online payment, bank transfer, cash, or cheque (payable to “Vibe Arts Limited”).
• No refunds will be issued for missed sessions, student absences, or early withdrawals.

 

7. Health, Safety and Welfare

• Parents/guardians must inform Vibe Arts of any medical conditions, allergies, additional needs, or injuries that may affect their child’s participation.
• We operate a strict no-nuts policy. Food must not be shared.
• First aid will be administered by qualified staff as required. Incidents will be reported to parents/guardians promptly.

 

8. Liability and Personal Belongings

• Vibe Arts is not liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal items brought to the venue.
