According to the Tutor and Lesson Policy:

·       It is the parent’s/student's responsibility to notify the tutor if a student is unable to attend a lesson. The full lesson fee is chargeable if a student forgets a lesson or make-up lesson, or parents fail to notify tutors of their child’s absence.

·       If you know in advance that your child will be unable to attend his or her tutorial (e.g. school excursion/ incursion, doctor’s appointment, etc) please let your tutor know as soon as possible. If you provide 24 hours notice, it is Band Committee policy that the tutor will provide a make-up lesson or lesson credit.
