1. The Payment to the dance school is made in 3-month blocks (terms), depending on the Level and hours of the Student attending (we try to keep all prices as much as possible). Two or one week's reminders and payment sheets have been given in before the beginning of a season to avoid unnecessary rental tuition fee payment problems. A late fee of £20 will be added for late payment to your next bill. The teaching services can be stopped in the studio if payment continues to the next month/term without informing the school of the reason for the payment delays.
Please Note,
(Prices Might Change Depending on Circumstances, but will be consulted first)
2. The Uniform Code applies to all classes for educational purposes. (Please ensure that the correct uniform is worn in class. Please check with your teacher before purchasing any items.)
If you do not wear the correct uniform all the time in class and during all school activities, fine charges can be applied to your next bill
3. Ann White Classical Ballet Training School enforces a zero-tolerance approach to aggressive behaviour, language, or written communication directed towards staff. This applies to students, parents, guardians, and visitors. Any form of verbal, physical, or written aggression—including hostile emails, messages, or confrontational conduct—may result in:
• Immediate suspension or removal from the class programme
• Termination of enrolment without refund
• Formal reporting under the Public Order Act 1986
• Administrative charges for time spent addressing misconduct
• Refusal of future enrolment or studio access
Outstanding Fees
Parents/guardians remain liable for any unpaid fees, regardless of withdrawal or removal from the class programme. Full payment is required in accordance with the agreed terms. Failure to settle outstanding balances may result in formal recovery procedures and additional administrative charges.
A full Behaviour Policy is available to parents upon request.
4. Respectful Conduct During Class Programme, Exam Preparation & International Projects
To ensure a focused and respectful learning environment, all students are expected to follow behavioural guidelines during class, especially in the lead-up to examinations and international projects. These rules support concentration, emotional well-being, and equal access to learning:
• Quiet Voices & Listening Ears: Students must use calm voices and listen when the teacher is speaking.
• No Disruptive Behaviour: Loud conversations, constant talking, shouting, or ignoring requests to settle will not be tolerated.
• Respect for Peers: Some students are sensitive to noise or distraction. All learners deserve a calm space to focus and grow.
• Follow Instructions Promptly: Repeated refusal to follow teacher requests may result in removal from the class programme.
• Supportive Atmosphere: Encouraging others, staying focused, and respecting the studio space are part of our shared responsibility.
Penalties for Persistent Disruption
If disruptive behaviour continues after verbal warnings, an administrative charge of £50 may be applied to cover the cost of lost teaching time, additional supervision, and safeguarding measures. This charge is non-refundable and will be added to the parent account. Repeated disruption may result in:
• Removal from the class programme
• Withdrawal of exam placement
• Exclusion from international projects, including CID UNESCO events such as the Greece Congress and other countries' projects
These opportunities require discipline, respect, and emotional maturity. Behaviour that undermines the learning environment or affects the teacher’s well-being will not be tolerated.
Parents will be notified if behaviour disrupts the class programme or affects others’ well-being.
5. When the student is studying at the school, parents agree to incorporate any activities the school may offer. The ballet school is offered to students alongside out-of-school activities and is contracted for various hours (during the season, students may be required to make up for the lost hours by taking extra classes due to the nature of the course; payment may differ). No more than five complimentary passes are allowed during the season. When a class is missed, a fee will be added to the next bill. We will accept the official body document of the missing class.
