Terms and Conditions
The following policies are in place to protect the students, parents and staff of Natalie Jane Dance School. These policies should be adhered to, to ensure that you and your child can continue to enjoy learning at Natalie Jane Dance School. Should you have any queries about the below, please get in touch.
Terms and conditions are subject to change. In the event of this, all parents will be notified by email.
Code of Conduct
The schools' ethos is to ensure that enjoyment can be had by all students of the school, and we ask that all students engage in the following;
-
Respect teachers and assistants in and out of class, being polite and well-mannered, listening and trying hard at all times.
-
Respect and support their peers, encouraging them and not mocking them. No form of bullying will be tolerated.
-
Turning off or muting phones/tablets. These are permitted to be bought into class as long as they are on silent and kept in bags.
-
Wearing correct uniform and ensuring that hair is tied up and presentable. If your teacher deems you not to be presentable, we will be re-doing your hair, or asking you to fix it! Dance is an art form, and this should be implemented into your presentation.
-
To bring a bottle of water to class. No food should be eaten in the teaching rooms, unless required for medical needs. No nuts should be eaten as a snack.
-
Should a child be misbehaving, disruptive or disrespectful, your child will be addressed in class, and perhaps be asked to sit out for a period of time. The parent/guardian will be notified of events.
-
Should the behaviour continue, we will ask for parent/guardian support to encourage better behaviour.
-
If this is not achieved, then your child may be refused tuition until the situation has been rectified.
