Stage One Terms & Conditions

 

Anybody entering Stage One, or applying to become a member of Stage One, is bound by the school Terms and Conditions, and may only do so subject to and upon this basis. The activities of the company are of a physical nature, and whether participating in Stage One activities, or using the studios or equipment for any activities whatsoever, the company accepts no liability for any physical injury, loss or damage to persons, or for loss of property occurring on the premises whether occasioned by negligence or howsoever or otherwise arising. 

 

Registration 

 

It is the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian to complete the registration form in full, with all relevant details, and sign the relevant section of the application form to signify that they have read and understood all the rules and regulations before any classes are attended. It is also the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian to notify Stage One of any changes i.e. address, telephone number, medical conditions and any change of circumstances.  

 

Security

 

It is the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian to deliver and collect children from inside Stage One on time. Every effort will be made to ensure no child will be allowed out of the building until collected by their Parent/Guardian. If you arrange for a relative or friend to collect your child, staff must be informed in writing. Parents/Guardians should collect their children from the reception area, and will not be allowed access to the studios while classes are in progress, except in the case of an arranged viewing or emergency. In agreeing for your child to attend Stage One classes in performing arts, appropriate physical guidance and correction is sometimes required within exercises, performances and training. Please advise of any emotional or physical conditions that may prevent full inclusion into the school curriculum, in order for Stage One staff to discuss any additional support. 

 

All teachers and staff are DBS checked 

 

Photos

 

Often photos are taken either in rehearsals or at production time. These photos are used for show programs and publicity. We reserve the right to use any individual or group photographs or video footage for press or promotional purposes. If, for any reason, you do not wish your child to be in any of these, please inform us. 

 

Fees

 

Fees are paid per term in advance. All fees must be the start of each term. Students will not be able to take part in classes if fees have not been paid.

A late payment fee of £20 will be charged on any fees not paid by Week 3 of any new term. 

Our £5 termly admin fee is already included within the fees listed above.

We must be notified six weeks in advance if you wish to terminate your place at Stage One. This must be given in writing or via email. 

 

Please make cheques payable to Stage One Dance UK Ltd. 

 

Classes 

 

Students are entered in classes according to their ability and age. It is at the total discretion of teachers as to which class/classes are suitable. They will be advised by the teachers as to when they should move up to another class. 

 

Attendance

 

Punctuality is of the utmost importance. Students are asked to arrive 15 minutes before the start of their class in order to minimise disruption to teaching staff and other students. Students may be barred from entering the class if they arrive more than 15 minutes late. 

 

No food, drink or gum to be taken into the studios. 

All mobile telephones are to be turned off in class. If you are waiting for an important call, please leave your phone in reception. 

 

While at Stage One, we expect students to be on their best behaviour; both during classes and in rehearsals. Parents/Guardians and students must be aware of all the health and safety rules at any of the venues used by Stage One. These rules must be followed at all times. Stage One students are expected to treat all Stage One members of staff and chaperones with respect. Stage One will not tolerate offensive, rude or aggressive behaviour or remarks. The Principal and teachers reserve the right to refuse to accept students into any class and may request the removal of students at any time. The use of foul and/or abusive language and bad behaviour will not be tolerated. If a student is jeopardising the safety of a class or stopping other students from learning or enjoying their class, the teacher may ask the disruptive child to leave the class. Inappropriate behaviour from a student or parent such as bullying, abuse or harassment will result in expulsion. 

 

Stage One will not be held responsible for theft or damage to personal property in and around any of our venues 

 

Allergies and illness 

 

It is the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian to make sure that Stage One staff members are aware of any allergies that your child may have. This includes Asthma. Asthma pumps should be with the child at all times. 

Medicine cannot be given by the school. 

Please do not bring your child to class unless they have been clear for at least 24 hours, so we do not pass anything on to other children or staff members. 

 

Uniform 

 

Students must attend all classes/rehearsals in full Stage One uniform (please see uniform page).

 

Casting 

 

The director’s decision is final. Stage One will not enter any discussions with third parties regarding casting. 

 

Chaperones

 

All parents who wish to chaperone in any performances MUST be CRB checked, and hold a chaperone license. This can be done by contacting your local authority. 

 

Communication  

 

It is the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian that we have the correct contact details for you, including your email address. In the event of any changes, you must inform the office. We reserve the right to make changes to the rules and regulations. You will be notified via email. 

 

Signing the relevant section of the registration form signifies that you have read and understood all of the Terms and Conditions.
