Lesson Cancellation Policy

When a student is unable to attend a lesson at their scheduled time, the first preference is always to try and reschedule the lesson, at a mutually convenient time, within the same week.

Regular attendance at lessons is essential to ensure continuity of teaching and learning, and to reinforce home practice.

When it is not possible to reschedule the lesson, the following fees will apply.

• Lesson cancelled with less than 24 hours notice …… Full fee will be charged
• Lesson cancelled with less than 7 days notice ………. Half fee will be charged
• Lesson cancelled with 7 or more days notice ……….. No fee will be charged
