THEATRIX Terms and Conditions November 2024
​
All fees are payable in advance. by Bank Transfer, prior to the start of term. We are sure you will appreciate that as a small business we depend on prompt payment to ensure we can continue to provide a high standard of service. We reserve the right not to admit a student to a class where outstanding fees have not been paid. We also reserve the right to charge an administrative fee of £5.00 if we have to send parents a second outstanding fees reminder.
​
We have a waiting list for most classes, so you will understand that a half-term's notice is required, in writing if a student intends to leave. Otherwise, we reserve the right to charge a half-term's fee in lieu of notice, unless a mutual arrangement has been agreed. We do ask that parents notify us if their child is going to be absent from a class or lesson. We will inform parents of two consecutive absences of which we have not been notified.
Refunds are not available if your child has missed a class, unless we have had to cancel the class. For private lessons, if a teacher is unavailable, we will either rearrange the lessons or refund the money. If a student is unable to attend it will only be rearranged at the teacher’s discretion and the availability of a space at the theatre which cannot always be guaranteed. In this instance, refunds are not available. We reserve the right to ask any student to leave the school if their behaviour is disruptive or otherwise adversely affecting the progress of the class. We include use of a mobile phone during class time as disruptive behaviour unless it’s an emergency.
There is no refund for disruptive behaviour. A student may not leave a lesson when it is in progress unless by prior arrangement with the parent(s). Please ensure that your child is collected promptly at the end of each lesson. While we do our best to keep an eye on all students who have finished their classes, we cannot guarantee 100% supervision once the next class has started. It is THEATRIX Terms and Conditions November 2023 2 recommended that you come inside the theatre building to collect them.
We do ask that parents notify us if their child is being collected by someone different. We do ask that all students take great care in respect of Abbey Theatre property. We are fortunate we are able to rehearse and perform in a working theatre and certain rules must be adhered to. All students are requested to pay special attention to keeping the theatre clean and tidy, and to make sure they have left nothing behind. We do have a small amount of lost property, but we cannot accept responsibility for anything left behind once the classes have finished. A fire drill is performed and registered each term.
If at any time you should wish to visit a drama class you may do so by prior arrangement. Please feel free to discuss with us any query or concerns you may have regarding the progress being made in class work or examinations. Method of Payment Your termly invoice, which will be emailed to you once your child has been enrolled on Class for Kids, will include details of how to pay by Bank Transfer.
All other payments, e.g. for public examinations should also be paid by Bank Transfer. You will be given notice of exam and bank details via email. If any parent is going through a period of financial difficulty, we are always happy to try to help, and come to some mutual agreement rather than lose a student.
