This agreement sets out the terms and conditions that will govern the relationship between us, Phoenix Film and Theatre School Limited (PFTS) and you, the Parent/Guardian. It is a legally binding agreement. These conditions are important to maintain standards and to ensure that all members gain the maximum benefit from their membership.

1. Any free trial is strictly at the approval of PFTS, subject to availability and does not guarantee a place at PFTS. A free trial may not be claimed in retrospect.

3. Fees are £32 per month for Chicks classes and £56 per month for all other classes. A 25% discount is available for additional sibling memberships.
4. We offer 12 sessions per term, 3 terms per school year, totalling 36 weekly sessions per year. Occasionally school term times may require us to offer just 11 sessions one term followed by 13 sessions the next.
5. Fess are averaged out across the year and paid on a monthly basis so you will make a payment in August even though we do not offer sessions during that month.
6. Class timetables and tutors are subject to change from time to time without notice.
7. We reserve the right to revert to online sessions (via Zoom) for any enforced closure outside of our control. This includes, but not limited to, national and localised shutdown due to weather, pandemic, venue availability and lockdown.

12. We will suspend membership during the minimum membership period in the event that the child is unable to attend PFTS for more than one month due to his / her injury or illness. In the unfortunate event that it is medically no longer possible for the child to attend any classes we will cancel the minimum membership period without any further obligation to you. We may require suitable medical evidence in the form of a GP or hospital letter setting out the medical reasons.
13. In the event that you do not make the membership fee payments when due, the right to send the child to attend any class will be withdrawn until payment is received and brought up to date.
