All students must be in uniform within four weeks of joining Turbelle’s. We supply items required.
Turbelle’s operates for forty-two weeks of the year.
We do not have Half Term.
Students who have attended over three months are allowed two weeks additional leave
pro-rata during the year for which they do not have to pay fees.
Should any student be absent for more than two weeks without contacting us, we will have no alternative but to remove them from the school register in order to reduce and prevent the waiting list of some subjects.
Students should make every effort to attend all lessons in order to develop and progress in their existing knowledge of dance, acting, and singing or gymnastic skills.
Attendance and punctuality also have a big impact for students when tutors are selecting performers to participate in shows, festivals and auditions.
Every effort is made by the staff of Turbelle’s Performing Arts Group of Companies for students to progress and develop in a happy environment.
In order to achieve this we ask all students to abide by our School Policy and the rules listed below.
Do phone the school secretary when ill, otherwise you will be marked as absent. Two consecutive absences without contacting us, may lead to removing you from the register.
Do try to get to class on time, as lateness will disrupt both the class and tutor and you may miss something important.
Do concentrate and give your best in class, as it is important to the tutors at Turbelle’s as well as your parents that you learn and progress.
Do make sure that full uniform is worn when attending classes.
Do make sure that all items of dance attire are clearly labelled with name.
Do not leave the premises between your start and finish time at Turbelle’s, unless a parental consent form has been signed and handed to us; over age fourteens only. Should you leave the premises without a previous agreement, parents/guardians will be contact immediately
Do not wear any jewellery in class, or bring it onto the premises, as we will not accept responsibility for property that is lost, although every effort will be made to find any lost items that are reported to us.
Do not leave mobiles phones on in class. If there is any emergency parents/carers should get in contact with the school secretary and a message will be passed onto the student involved.
Your piece of mind is vital to us, it is therefore of the utmost importance you communicate matters that require attention.
If you have any cause for grievance or complaint, please discuss/report to Viv Jones who will look into and do her utmost to correct matters and if needed take the right channels for a solution.
