It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Child Protection Policy

It is the policy of the school to provide efficient, up to date, enjoyable and safe instruction in dance to all pupils.

No energetic instruction will be given without pupils undergoing a suitable warm-up session.

 A book will be kept to record any incident that occurs within the school.

 No pupil will be allowed to leave the school premises until collected by a parent, guardian or other authorised adult. A member of staff will remain on the premises until all pupils have left.

 No child may be photographed or videoed without the consent of a parent or guardian.

 All pupils are covered under the schools insurance.

 All members of staff have been DBS checked.

At all times staff will endeavour to maintain the highest standard of instruction and behaviour and most importantly, encourage the pupils to have fun during their lessons.
