Booking & Cancellation Policy

Customer Responsibility

As a customer of The Shine Academy, it is your responsibility to read and understand all information provided on the booking page, including suitability requirements such as age and year group. By completing your booking, you confirm that your child meets the stated criteria.

While The Shine Academy will review bookings where possible, we cannot guarantee to verify the suitability of every booking. It remains the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure that their child meets the stated age and year group requirements.

Any errors made during booking are subject to our standard cancellation and refund policy outlined below.

Full payment must be received at point of booking for holiday courses, and/or within 7 days of invoice for term programmes. Your child's place will only be secured once payment has been received by The Shine Academy.
