FEES

Children’s Classes cost £10-00 per class (3/4 hr class) £12-00 (1hr class) and £15-00 (1 1/2 hr class). Fees are payable in advance for the term. Terms are usually 11 or 12 weeks. However, for new pupils, two “trial” lessons are permitted for which a fee for two lessons e.g. £20-00 is payable in advance of the first class, thereafter the fees must be paid in advance for the remainder of the term.

There is no refund for any classes missed but the class may be made up, during the same term, at a similar class on an alternative day.

If pupils miss 3 consecutive lessons (without any notification) their place will be reallocated. It is requested that a term’s notice be given if pupils wish to terminate classes.

 

Adult Classes are £12-00 (1hr class) & £15-00 (1 1/2 hr class) respectively. Fees can be paid termly. However there is a system in place whereby adults can pay for 6 lessons. These lessons must be used during the respective term. This gives a bit of flexibility in payment and attendance. More information available upon request.
