WA Classes Cancelled

Dear Parents,
Following on from the announcement from Public Health England that all schools are to be closed on Friday, this means unfortunately that there will be no WA classes now at Challoner as of Friday.
Saturday classes have also been cancelled.

I really appreciate your understanding and support as we are having to make decisions in unprecedented times that will inevitably affect our Willson Academy community.
Please do keep up to date with our FB posts.

Both classes cost £5 each with payment direct to the teachers on a pay as you go basis. All abilities are welcome! Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a bottle of water!

New Timetable January 2020

There are some changes to the Saturday timetable as groups have moved up following the exams. Please refer to the new timetable elsewhere on the website.

The new registers will be on display at Challoner on Saturdays.

Notice to stop classes

Parents are reminded that notice of one half term is required if pupils wish to stop classes, otherwise fees will still be required.

Fee payments

Parents are reminded that fees are due during the first week of each half term. Payment can be made in cash or by cheque made payable to Miss S Willson.

Payments made after week 3 incur a 10% late payment charge.

If you love performing and are interested in taking part in putting a show on in a week, please message Miss Kelly on kellyneilson82@gmail.com

Next year’s workshop will run from 17th – 22nd August 2020.

Second Hand Sale

This next sale will take place on Saturday 29th February between 8.30am and 12pm. If you have items to sell, please put them in a labelled bag with your name and price. New parents really appreciate being able to buy first size leotards and skirts so please bring any your children have grown out of!

Uniform

Please make sure that pupils are wearing correct uniform – the blue leotards and skirts for beginner pupils are available from Dancia International in Ewell http://www.dancia.co.uk/dance-shop/ewell/ who also stock all the dance shoes.

Black leotards for seniors are available on Saturdays during term time at Challoner together with blue leotards and skirts for Grade 2 ballet and purple leotards for JA pupils.

Please make sure that all uniform is labelled. We have a lost property box full of unmarked items that we cannot return. Any unclaimed items left at the end of term will

be put into the next second hand sale or recycled.

Cafe and Local Shops

Only Secondary school age pupils are permitted in the cafe area without parental supervision.

Everyone is responsible for keeping the area tidy so please use the bins provided. Parents are reminded that children should not be allowed to play in the Canteen area or on the stairs.

Secondary school-age pupils must be wearing appropriate clothing over their leotards and tights if they wish to go to the local shops during breaks between classes.

Security At Challoner

Challoner’s security system means the inner doors through to the hallway will be locked for safety reasons. Parents collecting from weekday classes are able to wait in the Reception area. Pupils arriving for weekday classes should wait in the Reception area until their dance teacher is available, usually about 15 minutes before classes begin.

Parking

Please take care when driving in and out of Challoner and follow the instructions of the site staff.

ARRANGEMENTS DURING BAD WEATHER

If Corpus Christi or Richard Challoner Schools are closed for health and safety reasons due to bad weather, no WA classes will be running. Updates will be posted on our website and Facebook page. Unfortunately, if classes have to be cancelled, no alternative dates will be available or reimbursements paid.
