Arrival and Collection Please   make   sure   your   child   is   brought   to   class   on   time.   Being   late disturbs   the   children   who   have   already   started   the   class.   All   children are   in   the   guardianship   of   the   class   teacher   during   class   so   please also   make   sure   your   child   is   picked   up   on   time.   It's   very   difficult   to   get the   next   class   started   if   children   are   still   waiting   to   be   collected   5 minutes   after   their   class   has   finished.   Students   must   wait   inside   the hall   to   be   collected   when   the   lesson   has   finished.      Please   inform   your child of this rule. Viewing Classes We   do   not   allow   parents   in   to   watch   dance   classes   at   any   time.   From previous   experience   this   has   proved   to   be   very   distracting   for   your child,   the   participating   children   and   the   teacher.   If   your   child   is   5yrs old   or   under   we   ask   you   not   to   leave   the   building   and   wait   in   the waiting    area    in    case    your    child    needs    you    at    any    time.    However watching weeks are organised at the end of every term. Security If   your   child   is   to   be   collected   by   someone   else   other   than   yourself please inform the teacher. No   Jewellery   or   valuables   to   be   brought   to   class   –   any   damage   or   loss is not the School’s responsibility. Fees Fees   must   be   paid   by   the   deadline   date   on   your   invoice   or   a   10% increase   will   be   incurred.   All   Fees   are   payable   in   advance.   If   a   pupil decides   to   leave   the   school,   any   fees   already   paid   for   the   term   are non-refundable . Missed classes If your child is sick and they miss a class, fees will not be refunded. Please   contact   the   school   if   you   decide   to   withdraw   your   child   from   a class or the school. Accidents Any    accident    your    child    may    have    during    class    will    be    dealt    with accordingly   and   an   accident   form   completed.   You   will   be   made   aware of any accidents and we will ask you to sign the accident form.
