How to Join UKTheatreSchool Loch Lomond Associate School
As peaceful and idyllic as this banner picture suggests there is an exciting 'Entertainment' buzz around this beautiful area with a huge interest in our theatre school performing at events in the prestigious loch side venues. Our UKTheatreSchool Loch Lomond students also play a massive part in the casting side of things with River City studios just along the road. This Associate School is a very exciting theatre school to be a part of.

Associate School Venues
UKTheatreSchool's main management seeks out venues suitable for performing arts for its Associate Schools. The venue which ticked all or most of our boxes in this Loch Lomond area was Sutherland Dance Academy in the Main Street, Alexandria. The venue benefits from the following:
- Rehearsal Rooms
- Dance Studios
- Stage Area
- Comfortable Waiting Area
- Café / Bar
- Internet Access for our students and/or their parents
- Soft play area for waiting parents with their younger children.
Open Day Auditions, Enrolment Days or Evenings and Term time lessons will be held within this venue.
Stage 2 - Enrolment
Again, Enrolment is the same procedure as the Main Glasgow School however; cost do vary in Associate Schools are some are situated in local areas, out of city centres and therefore; costs can be lower whereas some others, like London, are within a costly city centre and for this reason can cost more for classes. Please check each individual Associate School for their own unique fee costs.
Following the Audition Stage; successful applicants will attend an Enrolment Day or Evening. Enrolment Days are set aside for parents and new students to enjoy some light refreshments, to pay Enrolment Fees and Course Deposits as well as collect the students’ new UKTheatreSchool Uniform. This Enrolment time also allows the new student and their parents to familiarise themselves with UKTheatreSchool staff, premises and ask any questions they feel necessary. There is usually an Induction Talk from our Principal or Senior Staff and a chance to collect your new uniform - New Students and their parents are advised to allow for around 1.5 hours for this Enrolment.
Enrolment Fee
Enrolment Fees for each new student within the Loch Lomond Associate School is £50.00 and there is also a UKTheatreSchool Loch Lomond Course Deposit for each new student of £20.00
Course Deposit
This deposit is refundable when a student leaves UKTheatreSchool provided the student and parent meets with the Terms and Conditions of UKTheatreSchool (these can be found on our Terms and Conditions page)
Stage3 – Term Fees
All fees are payable in advance and, in the Loch Lomond Associate School, before entering a term of lessons. Fees are determined annually by our Academy Directors at their December meeting. The Directors reserve the right however; to respond to needs by changing the fees at any time. Fees for session August 2010 – July 2011 will be as follows:
Payment Option 1
A three-discipline course of Acting Singing and Dance will cost £7.50 per day or evening however; this can also be paid as a ten week termly block of £75.00
Payment Option 2
Paying annually can reduce the cost of the overall 45 week annual fee.
Can I Pay An Annual Fee to Avoid Termly Payments? Yes and at a reduced cost!
Annual Fees Reduction for 2010 / 2011. Some parents chose to pay annually to avoid queuing weekly or at the end of each term and to take advantage of the discount. The details are as follows: There is a reduced set fee for an annual payment. Over our 45 week year the annual total for UKTheatreSchool Loch Lomond would amount to £337.50 however; with the benefit of the annual fee reduction the annual fee for 45 weeks paid in full and in advance will be £307.50. Parents wishing their child to be involved in extra lessons within the Loch Lomond Associate School can also pay for these classes on a termly or annual basis. Each class may vary in price please enquire within the Associate School itself for information about individual lessons.
Fee Reductions – UKTheatreSchool Loch Lomond Youth Program
There is no automatic reduction in fees for younger brothers and sisters. This Performing Arts Academy has a long history of drawing pupils from a wide range of social and economic backgrounds. Some families with one child need help with fees while other families with several children can afford fees for each child. UKTheatreSchool believes it is fairer, and more consistent with its admissions policy, to provide help with fees on the basis of need in individual cases. Fee help is continually screened and not everyone applying for a help can be granted a reduction. These decisions are based on school budgets.
Scholarships – UKTheatreSchool Loch Lomond Youth Program
Scholarships have been granted in the past however; it is UKTheatreSchool’s policy to only grant a scholarship to an existing student who has been with our school for no less than 6 months. This is to establish ability and dedication. The amount offered in a scholarship is calculated in each individual case with the family involved in the discussions of what they can reasonably afford and what the school will contribute. This settlement is reviewed each year. In some cases a full scholarship may be granted.
Terms & Conditions
Written notice on or before week 8 of term detailing a student will be leaving after week 10 of the current term. This notice is to provide the school with sufficient time to allocate the space to someone from our waiting list for the forthcoming term. Failure to give the appropriate notice will result in a non refund of £20 course deposit. Parents will always be liable for any outstanding fees up to and including week 10 of the term we receive the leaving notice within or the forthcoming term if we receive the notice after week 8 of the current term (along with any other outstanding fees that may have accrued). If notice is received after week 8 of any term the student will be liable for all fees up to and including week 10 of the forthcoming term. Parents or guardians falling more than three weeks behind with fees, without suitable consensual arrangements being made with our finance department, will forfeit any course deposit. A parent or guardian failing to ensure that fees are brought up to date immediately after an ‘outstanding fees letter one’ is sent will no longer be entitled to a refund of course deposits unless a written agreement is consented with by our finance department. Late fees being carried into a new term will have a late fee penalty of £10 and then be subject to an added 5% monthly interest charge thereafter on the overall amount. If in doubt regarding fees please call our finance department and they will be only too happy to help.
This notice is without exception.
The above notice is for the avoidance of doubt and it without prejudice.
