Racist, sexist and other offensive language and behaviour is not tolerated, and we reserve the right to terminate membership without notice, the final decision being undertaken by the Principal.

Under no circumstances are pets allowed on school premises due to Health and Safety reasons.

UNIFORM & JEWELLERY:
Uniform gives the students a sense of belonging, a sense of ritual and sense of dressing for something important - their class. Appropriate uniform is necessary for health and safety and child protection.

Children are required to wear the regulation uniform and have their hair tied back in all classes (with the exception of Street Dance).

For Health and Safety reasons, no jewellery or watches are to be worn (with the exception of small, stud earrings)

NO jewellery to be worn in Acrobatic Arts classes. All t-shirts, shoes and bags must be clearly labelled - lost property is donated to charity at the end of every term.

Please refer to our Child Protection Policy (on display at the studio) for further information, or alternatively, email us for a digital copy.

By accepting enrolment in the school, parents must acknowledge that dance instruction often involves physical correction by the teacher.

All Aspire Staff hold a minimum of an Enhanced DBS Disclosures and a First Aid Certificate. Responsibility can only be taken for your child during their allotted class time.

Parents are not to allow their child to attend Aspire School of Dance if they are feeling unwell or have a known injury which would prevent a student from fully taking part. This includes presenting any contagious illness including (but not limited to): Chicken Pox, Head Lice, Common Cold, Flu and symptoms of COVID-19.

Refunds will only be given in the event of illness or injury preventing attendance at classes for a sustained period of time at the Principal's discretion.

If the student is unwell and cannot take part, this will be classed as missed sessions and no refund will be made unless class attendance is affected for a sustained period of time.

WAITING LIST:
Members on the waiting list will be contacted via email in order of the list. If no response is received within 72 hours, the next member will be contacted and the first to make contact will receive the place.

WATCHING LESSONS:
Parents are invited to watch only the last class of each term (with the exception of show terms where there will be no watching sessions), unless special arrangements have been granted. Photos/videos are ONLY permitted during watching lessons of your own child. Please do not take photos of others, or photos during any other classes.

FOOD & DRINK:
Children may wish to bring a bottle of water or squash into their class with them, particularly in warm weather. Please note, fizzy drinks are not permitted. Chewing gum is not permitted.

Fees are due on the 1st of each month and will be taken automatically from the card held on file. Payments not received by 14th of the month will incur a 10% late payment charge (£5.00 minimum)

Fees are calculated per lesson and billed in advance of each month.

Payment methods are via our e-payments service. We can not accept cash payments or cheques.

Reimbursements cannot be given for missed lessons. Discounts apply to children who are taking three or more subjects, details of which will be indicated on their invoices.

If payment is outstanding, Aspire School of Dance reserves the right to withhold services. Every attempt will be made not to discuss monies owed with children, although in extreme circumstances (especially when children arrive without supervision) children may not be allowed to participate.

Aspire School of Dance may share data with debt collection agencies in order to re-coup monies owed.


CANCELLATIONS:
If you wish to leave a class, a minimum of one month's notice must be given. Customers must pay this last month's fees.

Occasionally some classes may be cancelled due to circumstances beyond Aspire School of Dance's control. The Aspire team will endeavour to contact customers and will either offer an exchange for the course or, in rare cases of a cancellation, a full refund will be given.

On occasions, we take photos & videos in class which are published to our Social Media Channels (Facebook, Instagram & YouTube) to publicise the school and for our social media audience to keep up to date with our developments.

We will never identify a child on Social Media by their FULL name. We assume consent to this UNLESS you let us know otherwise.
