Are your courses still running? 

We're delighted to be offering both online and selected on-site courses! We are monitoring the situation closely, and hope to announce further on-site classes for you to enjoy.  

Adult Courses
A small selection of adult courses have already returned to face-to-face teaching, in response to student preferences. Places are strictly limited in these onsite classes – be quick to secure your seat here. Please note that whilst we will endeavor to deliver these courses face-to-face, they are subject to moving online during the session, should this become necessary

In addition, we are still offering courses online! These courses will be provided using a combination of video conferencing and an e-learning platform (click here for more details). We believe that this represents a wonderful opportunity to stay connected, even whilst some of us are confined inside and during a time when social distancing is being encouraged. Please remember that your safety and well-being are at the core of all our decision making and we will continue to work hard to provide the best service we can.

For the upcoming session, all classes are available now on our website.


Kids Courses
In addition, our kids courses have resumed to face-to-face teaching. You can find more information on this here
