AUTUMN NEWSLETTER 2024
Hello everyone,
I hope you have all had a lovely Summer with time to relax and enjoy family time in the sunshine...I think we all needed the boost!
Our Autumn Term begins on Monday 16th and we are looking forward to seeing you all again, There have been some small changes to class times ..so please check your new marked schedule on the attached timetable and let me know if you have any questions. Fees remain the same as last year and your fees total will include the annual membership renewal of £15. The possibility of paying fees in 3 equal payments over the course of a term remains for those who find it useful.
LAST TERM was really super busy with exams in Drama, Piano and Tap and I am pleased to say we again had a 100% pass rate and particularly impressive was the fact that with the Lamda exams 75% of the pupils got a distinction!!!!...and that was right up to Gold Medals.
We also put on our annual Gymnastics Display which was very well attended and at the end of the term our Choreography Celebration Event .
THIS TERM ...
Is SHOW Term for our Dance & Drama pupils . The date is Saturday December 7th and will be held at R.A.D.A. Studios , so please make a big note in your diary for that day.
GYMNASTICS
After a meeting with the Gymnastics coaches we have decided to increase the Gymnastics Squads training hours back to the amount that we used to schedule before Covid, this means that on a Saturday there will be a squad session at midday as well as the existing Thursday session....we encourage all squad gymnasts to really try and attend both if they can as well as their regular group lesson, there will also be some new pupils invited to join squad this term.
NEW LESSON FOR LISPS
Becky feels that some extra help could be offered to pupils who have lisps and I have scheduled a session every Saturday at 12.55pm for 30 minutes...it will be a small class with a slightly different fee structure but Becky feels it would be very worthwhile,
OUR CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS CONCERT
will be on Sunday 8th December at 5pm....always my start to Christmas with the lovely piano performances and singing.
So please make a note of this in your diary as well.
WHATSAP GROUP....just to remind you all that the school has a whatsap group which posts info and is a quick way to check info along with the website , so if you wish to be added just message me.
UNIFORM...a little reminder to please come to class correctly dressed and groomed....we sell and stock ALL the required uniform at he school to make things easy for you and being in the correct kit for class is a positive step towards progress!!
FEES...there will NOT be a fees increase this term but the Annual School Membership does renew in September for the academic year...£15 per pupil. Plus I do need to action the school fees policy for small classes where an extra £10 per term is added for classes with 5 or less pupils
Itemised below is your Autumn bill, it is fine if preferred to pay in 3 equal installments on weeks 1.4 &7
Many thanks and looking forward to seeing you all again.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your Summer.
