Dear Parents
We hope you have had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to returning to ballet this term.
Unfortunately the hire charges for the hall have increased considerably from this term. To enable me to cover the extra hire fees and running costs it has been necessary to increase our fess. We have put them up by the very minimum amount of 25p per lesson, which equates to an extra £2.75 per term for all classes. It has been some considerable time since our fees were increased and we do try to keep our classes to a reasonable number, but it takes a minimum of six pupils just to cover the running costs of each class.
The only changes to the timetable this term are to the Monday classes – the Monday Grade 2 class has moved to Fridays and there is a time change involving the adult and Grade 6 classes, so please check carefully if this involves you.
We are awaiting the results from our autumn examinations and wish good luck to all those who were entered. Our examinations this term will be on Saturday, 11th March, therefore the Saturday classes will finish on 8th April, one week later than those during the week.
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.
