Students will be kept in the same group, or ‘bubble’ for the duration of the course and group sizes will be kept to no more than 15 so that we can ensure social distancing.

 

Each bubble will have their own teachers and separate facilities which will be deep cleaned in between sessions.

 

At the moment we’re allowed to run these courses in-person. However if there is a change to local lockdown rules or government guidance that would mean this isn’t possible then we will offer the course online with the same small group and live interactive teaching and refund you for the on-site part of the course fee. 

We won’t be able to hold an end of week performance but we can share a video recording of their final rehearsal and we encourage everyone to show off their hard work to you when they get home.

My child wants to be in the same group as their friend

Each session will be kept together for the week so if you are booking for the same slot then they will be together.  For example if you are booking your child in for a morning, they will be in the same group as everyone else that has also booked the morning session for that course. 

 

You will need to pick either a morning, afternoon session or full day session for the whole week, this is because we will be grouping students in small protective ‘bubbles’ to minimise cross-contact.

Students must arrive on time, you will be provided with an 10 minute arrival window. Failure to arrive during your window may mean you will have to wait until staff are able to collect your child. Your student must agree to maintain social distancing. We will also require you to maintain social distance at drop off/pick up. 

 

No parent or carer is to come into/onto the school premises. No person or child is to come to site if experiencing symptoms of coronavirus/has been asked to self isolate/ tested positive. You will be asked to fill in a daily health questionnaire on behalf of your household. All students are subject to a temperature check. Should a student present with a fever they must be collected immediately. 

You must agree to collect a student should their bubble need to close at short notice.
