FEES
Fees are payable termly (a term following the school year of between 11 and 14 weeks). The school offers fees to be broken down into 2 installments, but the commitment is for the whole term.
Fees must be paid by the start of term (the first Saturday), if fees remain unpaid by the 3rd week of term, this may risk pupil’s places in the school and forthcoming show. Please contact Suzanne immediately if any financial hardship is being experienced and payment plans may be organised.
Paying fees on time allows us to secure venues, performance rights, props, technical support, and equipment for our upcoming productions, all of which need to be reserved well in advance to ensure availability. As all our shows are non-profit, timely payments are also crucial for maintaining our staffing levels, upholding standards, and ensuring uninterrupted and safe training for pupils. Delays in payment can seriously impact these areas and, consequently, the overall student experience
NOTICE PERIOD FOR LEAVING
We have a very low student turnover, and most of our students stay with us for a long time once enrolled. However, if a student needs to leave, a notice period of half a term is required. This is standard practice in stage schools and ensures that spaces can be offered to students on the waiting list without disrupting the ongoing training of current students.
Please note that fees are non-refundable if a student leaves during the term or is absent for any reason.
