How do I pay?

Booking is easy via the Better UK app or at the Plumstead Centre reception. We offer affordable Monthly DD payment plans.

Simple monthly payments by Direct Debit
All performing arts classes are paid via Direct Debit for your convenience

Fees spread across the year
Our annual fee is based on 39 teaching weeks and divided into 12 equal monthly payments to keep costs affordable and manageable.

Payments during school holidays
Because payments are spread evenly across the year, your Direct Debit will continue during half terms and summer holidays, even when classes are not running.
What you’ll pay when joining

At the point of enrolment, your first payment may include:

A one-month payment in advance
A joining fee
Any pro rata fees (if joining partway through a term)

Our team will be happy to explain all of this in more detail.

 

No long-term contract
You can cancel your Direct Debit at any time with one month’s notice.

 

What makes you different from a private school?

We provide high-quality training within a safe, community-focused environment with the trusted standards and safeguarding of GLL.

 

 

Can my child try it first?

We offer a one-off taster session so your child can meet the teachers and see the studio before you sign up.

 

 

Do they get to perform?

Every term ends with an "Open Studio / Watching Week " session where parents are invited in to see exactly what their children have achieved.
