It is with great sadness that we have decided that, due to the rapidly developing situation, and in accordance with government advice, we will be taking the precautionary measure of closing classes with immediate effect.

Our plans are to reopen on April 22nd after the Easter break but we will be constantly reviewing this as the situation develops. We hope that you agree this is the best thing to do in these difficult circumstances. The safety of our pupils, staff and families must be our priority.

An email has gone out to parents this morning, please let us know via the website if you haven't received this by early afternoon.

Ruby Adams qualified and danced in the 13-14year Greek solo section and Erin Taylor in the 15year and over solo section. It was lovely to see them dance in such a lovely theatre and we are very proud of their achievements.
