Additional notes
Ø The 6 membership packages must be paid in full at the time of booking.
Ø Term membership (packages 2-6) must be paid in advance of each term i.e. one week before the next term is due to begin to secure your place. Unfortunately, failure to pay on time may result in immediate loss of your place in our Academy due to limited availability. First come first served basis will apply so book early to avoid disappointment.
Ø It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to notify The Academy via email/text if, for any reason, a student is not attending for study.
Ø Attendance records are kept and Parents/Guardians will be notified via text message/email if a student does not attend study. We hope that all students stay for the full study sessions times so there will be minimal disruption. If a student must leave early, the parent/guardian should inform us via text of this at least 24 hours in advance if possible. Students can only leave at the break times in the interest of causing minimal disruption to other members and students must sign out stating a reason. If late or returning from an appointment then they must also sign in stating a reason. In the case of no notice given for either signing in or out, the parent/guardian will be contacted to validate the request. This is all in the interest of safety for your child so please give us as much notice as possible. Please read our Admission Rules for further details.
Ø From being actively involved in the second level education system, we are aware that students need to have down time before going to bed. This is why we have decided to finish our weekly sessions at 8.30pm. Students need adequate time to get home, have something to eat, watch TV and unwind from their very busy day. Sleep is so important for brain power so by finishing at 8.30pm this allows students to be in bed at a more reasonable time. This then has a positive knock on effect to the following day’s events.
[Places may not be available so please ‘Contact Us’ at least two days in advance to see if we have availability for the session(s) you wish to attend for and if we have space then we will book you in for your chosen walk-in Pay As You Go package below]
