If a parent is not there on time the pupil must return to the classroom. All pupils must be aware of this. The school has a Health and Safety policy.

Medical attention during class

Minor injuries may be treated by the teacher using a first aid kit which is provided by the school unless a letter advising to the contrary is received in writing from a parent or legal guardian.

Regular Attendance

This is essential for individual progression. Please ensure that you are punctual for classes and attend regularly. Where possible, please report any absences.

Notice– A notice period of one month must be given in writing.

Behavioural Policy

LLDS prides itself on being a happy school with enjoyment being the centre of all our classes. The behavioural policy exists to maintain this environment and enable pupils to reach their full potential.

Any disruptive behaviour both in class and in the waiting areas will not be tolerated. The Principal has the right to ask pupils to leave the class at any time if they feel that their behaviour is either inappropriate or spoiling the enjoyment for other pupils. If disruptive or inappropriate behaviour continues, the pupil may be asked to leave LLDS.

Property

Please ensure that you look after your belongings while attending class. The school is not responsible for the loss or damage to personal belongings whilst on the premises.

Photographs / Videos

To comply with the Data Protection Act 1998, we must have permission by a parent or legal guardian before we can photograph or make any recording of young people. Occasionally the students may have their picture taken or be involved in a video within the dance class, prior to an exam or at a show. We may wish to use these images in a suitable publication or on the school’s website. By enrolling at the LLDS you agree to the use of photography /video etc.

Contact between teacher and student

Physical contact may be required between the teacher and student during class in an appropriate manner for the teaching of the respective syllabus.

Admission

The Director reserves the right to refuse admission and to dismiss pupils should the occasion arise.

Fees

  • Fees are made by autopay on our Parent Portal on the 15th of each month
    • There is a £25.00 registration fee added to your first month’s payment for all new enrolments.
    • The first monthly payment is a double payment. Therefore you are always one month in advance.

    Notice of leaving is 4 weeks. Therefore 4 weeks of classes will be invoiced.  Should you leave and there has been an under or over payment for classes taken there will be a final invoice/refund issued.

Refunds

Refunds will not be given once term has begun. Individual class refunds will only be issued if a class is cancelled due to teacher illness. Refunds will not be given for missed classes by students and classes cannot be carried over to the next term. However, if prolonged illness occurs concessions may be made.
