Puntuality & Attendance Policy
Read our full Policy
Punctuality
It is vital that students arrive in good time for their classes and please ensure they have been to the toilet before the session has begun. Always inform the Dance Teacher if you are going to be late. If students are late for class, they may miss vital information and will impede the learning of others and place themselves at risk of injury should they miss the warmup section of the class. If a student is 10 minutes late or more, they will not be permitted to take part in the class, due to health and safety.
Attendance
Regular attendance is extremely important. If students do not attend on a regular basis, then the development of the class and the individual student will be affected. Exam students’ attendance will be monitored as they prepare for their examinations and assessments and students who fail to attend classes and additional lessons may be withdrawn. This also extends to students taking part in events and shows.
