Autumn Term 2025 Newsletter

I hope you are all enjoying the summer break. Thank you so much for the end of term cards and gifts, we are very grateful for them. It was another busy term, we had two days of ballet exams and every student passed with either a high Merit or Distinction.  We’d had only one term after the show to get exam-ready and the students had to work through some fiercely hot weather so I am particularly happy with the results. A special mention must go to Josie O Sullivan and Alexa Steadwood who both passed with a very high Merit their Intermediate ballet, a vocational exam and one they could use in the future to gain their teaching exams if they so wished. Congratulations to you both!

We wish all our A Level and GSCE students the very best of luck on results day.  As ever we will miss terribly our older students who are moving on. It has been such a joy to have taught you for all these years and see you grow from cute tots into the most beautiful adults! We know you will keep in touch and remember you are always welcome to come to class or visit when you are here.

Good luck also to our younger students starting school or moving to secondary school, it’s a big and exciting step and we look forward to hearing all about it.

Let me know if you would like any ballet uniform ordered.  Please see the price box below, payment can be made into the school account (see fees box and uniform box below too). 

If you have borrowed a pair of tap shoes or any other uniform from us, please return asap if no longer needed.

Don’t forget to bring water bottles and have hair tied up for all classes.  Level 3 ballet upwards ideally should have their hair in a bun for which you need a secure ponytail in the centre of the back of your head and the correct equipment, hair band, net and pins.

Absent or Discontinuing Classes Don’t forget to let us know if you are going to be away for class.  If you are discontinuing a class we do not insist on a term’s notice or fees in lieu of notice as some other school but we do like to be informed well in advance of the beginning of term.
