Dear Parents
We hope you have had an enjoyable summer and are looking forward to returning to ballet this term.
Our exam pupils were all successful in the July examinations and we congratulate them all. We would also like to congratulate Sophie O’Hare who has been selected to appear with the English Youth Ballet at the New Theatre in Oxford in October.
We will be holding a workshop on Saturday 8th October. This year we will probably be doing Sleeping Beauty but we will let you have more details regarding this event nearer the time.
The timetable for next term is attached. There are just a few alterations to days and times so please read it carefully so that you know when your child’s class is taking place. The coaching classes will commence the first week of term for those children taking exams (you will be notified within the next week if this involves your child). Apologies again to our Saturday pupils who will be the first to start term and the last to finish, so that we can accommodate both the examinations and the workshop.
If you still have any outstanding fees, could you please send me a cheque, with immediate effect, made out to Windrush School of Ballet, to 14 Heath Lane, Bladon, Oxford, OX20 1SB or you can pay via bank transfer at:
Natwest sort code: 55-81-35
Windrush School of Ballet account number: 89001389
I look forward to seeing you all again next term.
Best wishes
Pat Clapton
There will be extra coaching classes for pupils entering the RAD Grade 1 examinations.
These will take place at Ceewood Hall from 11.30 – 12.15, starting on Saturday 6 January and lasting for seven weeks up to half term. At a later date there will be a rehearsal with the pianist.
I have kept the cost of these extra classes as low as possible. They will cost £20 per child and this fee should be paid to our Administrator Angela as soon as possible.
The examination will take place on Saturday 31 March. The time will be given at a later date.
If you have any queries I can be contacted on 01993 812177.
