STAGE 1
Following a successful audition at STAGE 1 - the applicant will be invited to enrol within UKTheatreSchool Performing Arts Academy onto our Mainstream Program (students can progress onto other courses following enrolment and assessments)
STAGE 2 – ENROLMENT
Following the Audition Stage; successful applicants will attend an Enrolment Day or Evening. Enrolment Days are set aside for parents and new students to enjoy some light refreshments, to pay Enrolment Fees and Course Deposits as well as collect the students’ new UKTheatreSchool Uniform. This Enrolment time also allows the new student and their parents to familiarise themselves with UKTheatreSchool staff, premises and ask any questions they feel necessary.
There is usually an Induction Talk from our Principal or Senior Staff as well as a guided tour and some short performances from some of our existing students. New Students and their parents are advised to allow for around 1.5 hours for this Enrolment.
**Enrolment Fee:
**Enrolment Fees for 2009/2010 for each new student £95.00
***Course Deposit for 2009/2010 for each new student £30.00
***Course Deposit
This deposit is refundable when a student leaves UKTheatreSchool provided the student and parent meets with the Terms and Conditions of UKTheatreSchool (these can be found on our Terms and Conditions page)
STAGE 3 - TERM FEES
All fees are payable in advance before entering lessons. Fees are determined annually by our Academy Directors at their December meeting. The Directors reserve the right however; to respond to needs by changing the fees at any time. Fees for session 2010 will be as follows:
PAYMENT OPTION 1 Mainstream Program - A three-discipline course of Acting Singing and Dance will cost £10.00 per 2.25hr day rising to £15.00 per 3 hour day from August 2010.
PAYMENT OPTION 2 Over Ten Week Term - Many parents choose to pay in ten week term blocks (this is optional).
CAN I PAY AN ANNUAL FEE AND AVOID WEEKLY PAYMENTS? YES, AND AT A REDUCED COST
Annual Fees Reduction for August 2009 to July 2010.
Some parents chose to pay annually to avoid queuing weekly and to take advantage of the discount. The details are as follows: There is a reduced set fee for an annual payment. Over our 45 week year the weekly payments would amount to £450.00. The Annual fee for 45 weeks paid in full and in advance is £390.00. Parents wishing their child to be involved in extra lessons within the academy can also pay for these classes on a weekly, termly or annual basis. Each class may vary in price; please enquire about individual lessons.
Annual Fee reduction for August 2010 – July 2011
Over our 45 week year the weekly payments would amount to £675.00. The Annual fee for 45 weeks paid in full and in advance is £595.00. Again; parents wishing their child to be involved in extra lessons within the academy can also pay for these classes on a weekly, termly or annual basis. Each class may vary in price; please enquire about individual lessons.
FEE REDUCTIONS – YOUTH PROGRAM
There is no automatic reduction in fees for younger brothers and sisters. This Performing Arts Academy has a long history of drawing pupils from a wide range of social and economic backgrounds. Some families with one child need help with fees while other families with several children can afford fees for each child. UKTheatreSchool believes it is fairer, and more consistent with its admissions policy, to provide help with fees on the basis of need in individual cases. Fee help is continually screened and not everyone applying for a help can be granted a reduction. These decisions are based on school budgets.
SCHOLARSHIPS – YOUTH PROGRAM
Scholarships have been granted in the past however; it is UKTheatreSchool’s policy to only grant a scholarship to an existing student who has been with our school for no less than 6 months. This is to establish ability and dedication. The amount offered in a scholarship is calculated in each individual case with the family involved in the discussions of what they can reasonably afford and what the school will contribute. This settlement is reviewed each year. In some cases a full scholarship may be granted.
OTHER FEES
For costings on other courses and class fees please click into their specific tabs and there should be an outline of all fees. If you have any questions regarding any fee structure please do not hesitate in contacting the theatre school on 0141 332 5192.
PENALTIES FOR LATE PAYMENTS
There is a penalty of £2 per week per late fee added to late fees. These penalties are implemented to fees from 1st February 2010.
We no longer accept cheques (from 1st Feb 2009) however; any fee arrears paid by cheque would be accepted provided there has been an agreement made to accept the cheque. Cheques returned from the bank informing us that there were insufficient funds or in the event that a cheque is ‘stopped’ a £40 penalty will be added to the cheque amount along with any other £2 weekly penalties accrued over the duration of the fees remaining unpaid.
It is unfortunate that these penalties have to be in place however; to avoid a misuse of the cheque system or using our ‘good will’ to delay paying on time we have felt it necessary to implement penalties to reduce the growing amount of fee arrears.
If you find you are likely to fall behinds with fees please contact us immediately to arrange a suitable payment method which should, in turn, prevent penalties.
