1. A letter from the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, Head of Year or art teacher at your school stating your suitability for the course and
2. A letter from your parent or guardian confirming personal liability and contents insurance has been set up for you.

COURSE FEE

The course fee covers tuition, provision of an easel, palette and drawing board, where appropriate, and studio space. The course fee does not include materials other than drawing supplies for the first session of each course. You must supply all other materials yourself.

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations are permitted up to one month before the start of a course, subject to a £25 cancellation fee. Refunds will not be made for cancellations less than one calendar month before the start of a course. Students who do not attend due to illness, personal or professional commitments do not have the right to a refund. For this reason we recommend that students take out personal insurance against any unforeseeable circumstances before the start of their course.

Further course details, a materials list and map will be sent to you before the course begins.
