Dear Parent / Carer,

Spring Term Dance Classes

We are once again pleased to be able to offer after school dance classes for the Springterm. Classes will begin week commencing Monday 9th January. The last classes will be week commencing20th Marchand there will be no classes in half term week (Mon 13th February– Fri 18th February), making this a 10week term.

The Spring Term class timetable and registration slip are below. When choosing which classes to register for, please be sure that your son/daughter is able to attend and it does not clash with any other activities they wish to participate in. Once places have been allocated, refunds will only be given in exceptional circumstances.

By submitting your requests for classes with later starting times, you are giving permission for your son/daughter to remain in school or at an agreed location. The Library and After School Club are available after school as supervised spaces and should be utilised by students remaining on site.

Registration Process

1)Initial registration will be open from now until the end of the school day on Wednesday 4th January.

2)Choose which class(es) your son/daughter would like to take part in.

3)This term we are using one form and ask you to put a ‘1’ in the preference box alongside your 1st choice of classes. If you have a 2nd choice (in case your first choices are oversubscribed) please put a ‘2’ in the preference box. NB where possible classes will be allocated using the first choice as a priority and 2nd choices will only be allocated where a 1st choice is over subscribed. Please ensure when noting down 2nd choices that your child is also free on those dates and times.

4)A separate payment will be required for each 1st choice of class by Wednesday4th January. You may now pay using our preferred payment method, WisePay. If using this option please select the appropriate priced class and enter the quantity required. Alternatively, cheques may be used and these should be made payable to “Comberton Village College” with your son/daughter’s name, tutor group and the name of the dance class written on the back of the cheque.We do not need payment for 2nd choice classes. Prices are indicated on the form below. We will still require the completed slip even if you have paid via WisePay in order to see which dance classes have been selected.

5)Cheque registrations and/or registration slips can be handed in to the Dance Office or left in the Dance post box on the Gallery. For Security reasons cash payments must not be left in the post box or pushed under the door of the dance office. Cash payments can be handed into the Finance Office or handed to myself by the student. (School diaries will be signed to confirm receipt of cash payments.)

6)If any of the classes are oversubscribed when initial registration closes, places will be allocated by drawing names from a hat. If your son/daughter does not get a place in their requested class, we will endeavour to offer them an alternative class where they have indicated a second choice.

7)Class lists will be published on Friday 6th January on the notice board outside the dance office.

8)Remaining places will be allocated on a first come first served basis by pupils.

9)If your child is unsuccessful in getting a place in a dance class cheques will be shredded and/or, if applicable, a WisePay refund make by the finance office.

Please do not send your son/daughter to a class unless they have registered and had their place confirmed. Dance teachers will have a list of all pupils registered for their classes and if their class is full will ask any additional pupils to leave.

Kind Regards

Miss R Tyrrell

Head of Dance
