CORRECT FROM SEPTEMBER 2025.
We are now operating an automatic monthly payment system for children’s classes, with one single amount due at the start of each month for 11 months of the year, (no payment to be made in August).
Classes are now charged at a flat rate and payments for our 40 teaching weeks of the year are averaged out so the same amount is paid each month between September and July. This includes your annual 2 free holiday weeks allowance. (so you only pay for 38 weeks across the year).
We will send each student/family an invoice for each calendar month, which will also contain an easy link to a GoCardless payment option. Once you have inputted your information into this safe system, the payment will be automatically taken by Direct Debit from your account on the 1st of each month, unless otherwise stated by us. You will not need to input your information in future transactions/invoices, making setting up class payments very simple!
PAYMENT AND PRICING:
As with all businesses at the moment, we are incurring considerable extra costs at this time. We have therefore had to increase prices of lessons slightly to account for additional rental, training etc. Please see new slight increases below:
Remember prices are per family, so Derwent students still enjoy a highly competitive discount on multiple classes and siblings joining too!
1 class per week = £25 per month
2 classes per week = £45 per month
3 classes per week = £60 per month
4 classes per week = £72 per month
5 classes per week = £82 per month
6 classes per week = £90 per month
7 classes per week = £96 per month
8 classes per week = £102 per month
(9 classes+ per week = £108 per month)
Remember fees are calculated per family/household eg 2 siblings taking two classes each would incur the 4 class fee, so £72 per month.
Please understand that we are happy to negotiate individual arrangements on a confidential basis should this system be difficult in any way.
