Class rules and what to wear.

Other information
Photography
Photography is NOT permitted in the hall. Once a year we have a display at which you are allowed to take photos of your child.
Food / Drink
Food is not permitted in the hall. Children may bring a plastic water bottle into the hall. If you child would like a post school/pre class snack we would suggest easily digestible fruit juice, dried or fresh fruit. Children eating any more then this just before the class risk feeling sick or getting stomach cramp during the session.
Medical Needs
Please make sure that the head coach is aware if your child has any special medical needs or needs to bring medication to the class. We would suggest that you mention this to the head coach of your child's class at the beginning of your child's first term. We do our best to include all children into these sessions, but we do need to be made aware of any potential problems.
Pick up
Please pick up your children from the main door to the hall. For safety reasons we cannot let young children out of the gym without a parent or guardian to meet them. Children in Secondary School may leave by themselves.
