Paying class fees
If you’re new to Simon Says Dance, class fees are payable after the trial date, if continuing a class. For existing students, payment secures your new term booking and we kindly ask that full payment or first payment is made by 10th October 2025 to secure your child’s space. The total amount due on your booking confirmation email includes any credits or discounts due.
You can pay Cash, Bank Transfer (details below) or via the ClassForKids booking portal. For cash payments, these can be made the first week back to term but please let us know by email if you intend to pay this method so we can hold the space for you.
You can split your term fees into two payments, if preferred. For the upcoming term, we would kindly ask that you make your first payment by 10th October 2025 to secure your booking, and second payment by 7th November 2025. If you intend to split your new term fees, note you can only do so by paying in cash or via bank transfer, as our online booking system can’t take part-payments.
If splitting your term fees, please email us by 10th October 2025 to let us know or to discuss alternate payments/dates so we can take note - this will ensure your child's space is not cancelled unnecessarily if we don’t receive a payment.
For bank transfers or standing order setup, our details for class fees are:
Name: Simon Says Dance Ltd
Account No: 16373075
Sort Code: 83-19-04
The reason we request payment for classes / notice of cancellations in advance of the term start date is to allow us to plan and firm our class provisions for the entire term. It also allows us to determine who is joining us, and what spaces we can offer to those on our waiting lists to join classes. This is why it's important to tell us in advance if your child isn't returning.
Previous term fees must also be up to date to secure your child's new term space. Late fees apply and we reserve the right to cancel a student's space in our classes, without notice, if payments remain outstanding and no communication is received. By attending our offerings, you accept our full T&Cs viewable on our website.
Our 14-day cancellation policy applies for auto-enrolment bookings – any classes due to take place within your notice period are billable, so please contact us ASAP to avoid this. Note that we do not issue refunds for bookings cancelled mid-term.
