Parent code of conduct
To ensure the smooth, safe running of Premier Drama Academy and an enjoyable experience by all, we reserve the right to dismiss or take disciplinary action on any student or parent who breaches our academy's code of conduct following a written warning.
- Families who do not comply with their fee or costume payment obligations may be charged a late fee of 10% per week, and/or excluded from performances. External debt collection may occur when fees remain overdue and this will be at the expense of the client.
- We are unable to take responsibility for our students before or after their scheduled classes and it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure their child is picked up and dropped off on time. In the case of an emergency or unavoidable delay, please contact the studio immediately to inform us of the situation so we can keep your child calm and safe until they can be collected.
- Any questions or complaints must go through email (gemma@premier-drama-academy.co.uk) Parents and students are not permitted to contact Premier Drama Academy staff via phone, in person, or social networking with studio issues. Premier Drama Academy will not tolerate complaints posted on our social media, specifically the parent group as this can result in a negative space. These comments/posts will be deleted and parents involved will be removed from the platform.
- In the rare case of a parent or student showing disrespect or defamation to any parent, staff member or student, a meeting will be called immediately and dismissal may be considered at the discretion of the principal. Physical, mental, emotional or cyber bullying by parents, staff or students will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate dismissal from the studio.
- Parent/Guardians understand that students exhibiting inappropriate behaviour will be removed from the dance class and agree to partner with staff to resolve behavioural issues immediately so their child may return to class in a timely manner.
- Parent/ Guardians must understand that dance and drama is fun but also a DISCIPLINE. Your child may receive corrections, the teacher may yell over the music directions/corrections, your child may be asked to repeat things numerous times and sometimes the teacher may take a firm stance in class to achieve results. This is not the teacher picking on your child, disrespecting your child or having a poor attitude, it is your teacher striving for results, maximising your child’s potential and sometimes working to a deadline (performances or exams). If there are any concerns in this matter, please email Gemma@premier-drama-academy.co.uk
- Parents need to check emails regularly. All correspondence for Premier Drama Academy is done via email or our Parent Facebook group so please ensure you provide your current email address on the registration form. Premier Drama Academy will not take any responsibility for missed information due to incorrect details provided.
