Procedures For Dropping and Collection of students in the South Ring studio.
- We cannot stress enough to parents, guardians and students that the road just outside the studio is very busy and very dangerous. Cars round the corner at high speed and the ambulance service is also based in the business park. Please ensure your child is collected from outside the door and walked by an adult to your car.
- DROP OFF
Please park in the designated parking zones only.
We have been advised by the park management that no car should pull up or stop on the road just outside of the studio entrance. Please park in the designated areas and accompany your child to the reception area of the studio.
- MINI MONTFORTS and any other student 3-6 yrs of age will be collected in reception by the teacher or assistant.
- PRIMARY STUDENTS will be collected from reception for the first 3 weeks of class, after that students can make their own way to class.
- SECONDARY STUDENTS make their own to way class.
- SINGING STUDENTS will be collected from reception by their teacher.
- COLLECTION
All mini Montforts and primary students must be collected promptly by a parent or guardian from the side door of the studio. Again there is a heavy flow of traffic in the park and some cars come speeding round the corner. The safety of our students is our highest priority - we cannot stress enough that you MUST collect your son / daughter from the side door of the studio. Please do not allow them to cross the road unattended. Once again the traffic will increase significantly in the lead up to Christmas.

Please ensure that on entering and leaving the premises that the front door and the inside reception door is always closed behind you.
With the exception of the mini Montforts no parent / guardian is permitted past the reception area. Please wait for your child in the reception area.
