Terms and Conditions

Terms & Conditions

1. Class Fees

Class fees are calculated at £10 per session, with a total of 38 weeks of classes delivered throughout the academic year.
The annual cost of £380 is divided equally across the year to create a monthly subscription of £32, payable on the 1st of each month, including during school holidays.
This fixed monthly fee ensures consistent budgeting for parents and supports continuity of service for the academy.

2. Payment Method

Monthly payments must be made via Direct Debit or Standing Order.
All payments are due on or before the 1st of each calendar month.
Failure to pay on time may result in the student being unable to attend class until payment is received.

3. Annual Membership Fee

A £20 annual membership fee is required for all students.
This fee covers administrative costs, insurance, music licensing, and contributes to show production and event access.
The membership fee is non-refundable and is due at the time of initial registration.
For returning students, the membership fee renews automatically each August.

4. Missed Classes & Refunds

Missed classes are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Monthly fees remain payable in full regardless of absence, as your child’s place is held exclusively for them.

5. Notice Period

One full calendar month’s written notice is required to cancel your child’s place and stop monthly payments.
No refunds will be given for partial months or unused membership fees.

Cancellations for pre-booked private sessions must be made at least 48 hours in advance. Late cancellations will be charged in full.

Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring NLSDA has up-to-date emergency contact information.
If someone other than the usual parent/guardian is collecting your child, you must inform the teaching staff in advance.

NLSDA may take photographs and videos of classes, rehearsals, and performances for educational and promotional purposes. By enrolling, you consent to this use.
If you do not wish for your child to be included in such media, please mark no photography permissions when asked via CFK.
Parents/carers may take photos/videos at performances unless otherwise instructed. Filming or photography is not permitted during classes or rehearsals for safeguarding reasons.

NLSDA reserves the right to use cover or substitute teachers when needed.

Occasional staff will be supervised and assessed individually for safeguarding suitability and will never be left alone with children.

Personal data will be securely held and used in line with the Data Protection Act for class administration, safeguarding, and communication.

Participation in community events is optional. However, all students attending classes in the summer term are expected to take part in the annual summer show.
If your child does not participate, you may still be required to contribute to the show’s additional rehearsal costs (not including costumes).

Students are expected to behave respectfully, both in and out of class, representing NLSDA positively in the community.
Parents/carers must park considerately near class venues and ensure litter is disposed of properly.

If NLSDA cancels a class, a make-up session will be scheduled. If not possible, a credit will be applied to the following term.
No individual refunds will be given if you choose not to return the following term.
If a venue (e.g. school or community hall) cancels a session, a credit will also be applied to your next invoice.

If a student must isolate due to COVID-19, refunds or credits cannot be offered.
If NLSDA must close in accordance with government guidance, sessions missed will be refunded or credited accordingly.

Casting and role allocation in performances are at the discretion of the NLSDA team. These decisions are final and will not be open to discussion.

All complaints must be submitted in writing and will be responded to within five working days.
