Payment
Full payment should be made before the start of each term to secure your child’s place. No refund is given for missed classes. In the event that a class is cancelled due to staff illness or adverse weather conditions make up classes will be arranged.
Discounts
A uniform sibling discount has been introduced: 1 sibling receives £5 discount of the total bill and 2 or more siblings receive a £10 discount from the entire bill.
Notice Period
School of Dolphins requires half a term’s notice should a child not wish to continue lessons in the following term. This enables us to then open the sessions up to either those children on our waiting list, or make them know to people outside.
Parking
Free parking is in a private stable yard adjacent to the swimming pool. We ask that vehicles are driven slowly through the village parked facing the field as this helps to accommodate more cars. If the car park is full cars should use the house drive as an over flow. At no time should cars be parked on the lane.
Equal Opportunities
The School of Dolphins will make sure that it actively promotes equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practices for all children. It will make sure that it treats all children with equal concern and respect.
Child Protection
The School of Dolphins’s first responsibility and priority is towards the children it teaches. If the swim school has any cause for concern it will report it, following STA Child Protection Procedures policy.
“Swimming is a life saving skill that is never to early to start”
