Our tuition services are intended for children and young people; however, we expect parents or legal guardians to make enquiries, bookings, and payments on behalf of children under the age of 18.

We do not knowingly collect more personal information from children than is necessary to provide tuition services.

Where appropriate, we may communicate directly with older students regarding lesson arrangements, but parental consent and involvement remain important for under-18s.

We use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries
• Arrange and deliver tuition sessions
• Manage bookings and scheduling
• Communicate with parents and students
• Process payments and maintain financial records
• Prepare students for LAMDA examinations
• Improve our website and services
• Meet legal and regulatory obligations

We will only use personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so under UK GDPR.

We process personal information on the following legal bases:

To provide tuition services requested by parents or students.

To manage and improve our services and communicate effectively with families.

To comply with tax, accounting, safeguarding, and legal requirements.

Where required, for marketing communications, photography, testimonials, or the use of cookies.

Any information shared regarding a student's educational needs, learning goals, or wellbeing will be treated confidentially and used only for the purpose of supporting tuition and learning outcomes.

Information may be shared if required by law or where safeguarding concerns arise and disclosure is necessary to protect a child or vulnerable person.

We will never publish photographs, videos, recordings, examination results, or testimonials identifying a child without the explicit consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

We take appropriate security measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.

Information may be stored electronically using secure devices, password-protected systems, and reputable third-party service providers.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide services and meet legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information with:

• Examination boards such as LAMDA where necessary for exam entries
• Payment providers

All third parties are expected to handle personal information securely and lawfully.

Our website may use cookies to improve user experience and understand website performance.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.
