PLEASE NOTE:

NO STUDENT OR TEACHER SHOULD ATTEND CLASS AT THE EMMA KATE DANCE ACADEMY IF THEY ARE DISPLAYING SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19.

What happens if a student tests positive for Covid-19?

Should a student test positive, you must not attend class at The Emma Kate Dance Academy until the self isolation period has ended. Our Covid-19 protocols will always be in place and therefore the class will continue to be delivered. However if your child subsequently displays any symptoms we advise you to get a test.

(Following guidance from our Covid-19 risk assessment expert)

What happens if a teacher tests positive for Covid-19?

If a teacher from The Emma Kate Dance Academy tests positive for Covid-19 we will endeavour to get the relevant classes covered. However if we cannot, make-up classes will be arranged. Teachers will be tested regularly.

Parents/guardians must have read and made sure their child understands the importance of these rules before they return to dance class with The Emma Kate Dance Academy.
