Terms & Conditions
Constellation School Of Musical Theatre (CSMT) - Customer Terms & Conditions
None of us are fans of small print, but we also think it’s great to know what to expect when we buy products and services as customers - so here’s our terms and conditions - we’ve made them as easy to read as we possibly can.
Bookings and Confirmations
All bookings, whether online through Class 4 Kids or by bank transfer will be confirmed by email or by text/whatsapp. No bookings will be confirmed until payment is received.
All bookings must be made in advance of the selected booking date unless you have been given approval to pay on the day.
For safety reasons CSMT can only guarantee a place on the class/camp to those booking in advance and if there are places available at the time of booking.
You must book online prior to arrival either as a full member or as a trial member. 1 week Trials can be booked if you wish to before committing to a monthly subscription.
All participants must ensure they are able to attend the class/camp and meet the conditions for such event as described on our website.
Places are allocated on a first come first served basis on receipt of a booking form and payment.
Medical
All participants must complete the booking form provided giving contact details and any relevant medical and allergy information. CSMT Staff will not be permitted to administer any medication to your child. A First Aider will be on hand to offer emergency assistance if required. CSMT Staff and all working on behalf of the school will follow an up to date risk assessment and do their best to maintain a safe working space and offer a reasonable duty of care, however we can not be held liable for any accidents or incidents that happen whilst the child is in our care.
Waiting List
If a class/camp is at it’s maximum capacity, you will see this online and have the option to join a waiting list. When a space becomes available, the first customer will be notified and offered that place, and so on.
CSMT cannot guarantee any places for those on the waiting list.
Cancellations and Refunds
There are no refunds or price amendments for missed classes.
Should a class/camp not have enough participants booked on, we reserve the right to cancel, in this event a full refund will be given.
Subscriptions - We require one month’s notice from the last payment. At this point, your subscription will stop and you will be able to continue classes for the remainder of the month. For example: If you are billed on 1st July and cancel on 14th July, you will be charged the full subscription on 1st August as a last payment.
If the class/camp has to be cancelled by CSMT due to adverse weather conditions, customers will be contacted straight away to be informed the class is temporarily cancelled. Customers will then be offered an alternative date but this can not always be guaranteed.
CSMT will not be held responsible for fees incurred or lost due to cancellations.
Prices and Payments
Classes are paid via monthly subscriptions and Camps in full at the point of booking. There may be an option to pay a deposit for camps, in which case the remainder is due by the date set when booking - prices are liable to change at any time but changes will not affect bookings already made unless in the case of monthly payments where prices will be reviewed on an annual basis and Customers will be notified of the price change.
Drop Off and Collection Procedures for Children
Parents/Guardians must provide CSMT with two emergency phone numbers and names are requested on the online booking form. Please ensure these are correct. Also, if children are to make their own way home, this must be agreed in advance and a note should be made under the Child Notes section of your online account.
Please allow teachers to see all children safely to their parent/guardian before asking questions at the end of the class.
Parents/Guardians are required to make arrangements for their child to be collected at the class finish time. Should a parent be late, they must phone the School to inform the teacher. There may be a late fee charged if the Child is more than 10 minutes late being collected.
Uniform
All Children must must wear a CSMT School branded T Shirt (as of January 2027) with black leggings/trousers. Branded uniform can be purchased through the school. CSMT students must wear jazz shoes or trainers. No jewellery is to be worn in class. Hair must be tied up. All children must have a water bottle with them that is filled up before coming to class.
For CSMT Camps, children can wear their own clothing suitable for movement and will be asked to wear their CSMT branded T Shirt on first day of camp (if they’re a current student) and uniform or costume for the performance day.
Personal Property
CSMT accepts no liability for loss, damage, vandalism or theft of personal property owned by customers or their children during any of our classes/camps/events. Phones and other electrical devices must not be used in class at any time and will be confiscated until the end of class if seen.
Health & Safety
All teachers and Staff members have an enhanced DBS Certificate and the school is fully insured.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure appropriate clothing is worn and medical conditions are noted on the booking system prior to engagement in the activity.
CSMT reserve the right to exclude any customer from the school if they appear ill or we believe the illness to be contagious.
Behaviour /Exclusions
CSMT reserve the right to exclude any customer from the class/camp if the participant is not compatible with the general enjoyment and objective of the class/camp, e.g. bullying, disruptive, aggressive behaviour is not acceptable. A Verbal warning followed by a written warning will then result in permanently removing the child from the class/camp. In with instance, no refund will be made for any remaining activities booked and any additional costs involved will be the customer’s responsibility and expense.
In the event of an accident, emergency services will be called if necessary.
Special Requirements
CSMT include all customers wherever possible. The needs of each customer vary, so decisions are made on a case by case basis. Customers should discuss their needs or requirements with management so that they can be accommodated and any special arrangements can be made where possible. We are not able to offer one to one support in class so any child participating must be ok in a group setting.
Liability
CSMT nor any person involved with the organisation and/or teaching staff will not accept liability for the personal injury, or the death of any participant however so caused. CSMT, nor any person involved with the organisation and/or teaching staff, will not accept liability for loss or damage to any property belonging, or travelling with a participant. CSMT does not accept any responsibility for any losses or additional expense due to injury or sickness whilst participating in a School activity or class/camp.
Insurance

Child Protection and Safeguarding
Every participant in a class/camp is of equal value and has equal access of opportunity.
All Teachers have a duty to respond if they suspect a child in their class/camp may be suffering from abuse or if a child makes a disclosure about abuse. Teachers will act according to our Child Protection Policy - a copy is available upon request. Lydia Hall is the Company’s safeguarding lead.
Film/Photography
CSMT staff will take photographs and film class and activities for use in training, marketing and promotions.
Parents/Guardians must make us aware if your child’s photo can not be taken but in a setting such as this, it is difficult to manage so we ask only if exceptional circumstances can they be excused.
