Choreographic 2024

Entries for our 2024 choreographic competition are now open! Chance for pupils to get creative and choreograph their own routines in our fun and friendly competition. Open to all school aged children and above, please see emails on how to enter!

Reminders for the new term…

• Please remember to arrive promptly to classes and ensure students are dressed and ready to go so they don’t miss out on important warm ups.
• If your child has an epi pen/inhaler or similar please ensure they bring this to ALL classes and the teacher is aware where it is kept.
• Don’t forget to remind pupils to bring a water bottle with them to class!
• Please try and encourage younger students to use the toilet where possible before their class.

We have also been reviewing our safe guarding policies for all our classes and would just like to flag up the following.

• Pupils must be supervised at all times before and after classes.
• If someone different is collecting your child to normal then we must be notified in advance. You are welcome to use a password system if you prefer for this.
• All primary school aged child must be collected by an adult (we cannot let them go with older siblings)
• Written permission for children in year 7 & 8 must be given if they are allowed to walk home by themselves.
• Parents of our pre-schoolers must wait onsite in the parent waiting areas.

You can see a full copy of our safeguarding policy here.
