These rules are designed to create a safe and respectful environment, ensuring effective teaching and learning. They provide structure, promote the well-being of students and staff, and help young people to develop responsibility and appropriate behavioural boundaries in a learning environment. 

​

• Do not invite anyone into the venues or studios without YBS permission.

• Students are not permitted to leave the venue on their own, including travelling to and from the venue, unless YBS has written permission from a parent/guardian.

• Students must be respectful to all students, staff and any visitors.

• Across all of our Spring Intensive venues we operate a strict no nut policy.

• NO LIVE STREAMING is allowed under any circumstances.

• The use of mobile phones or other electronic devices are not permitted in the studios during teaching times. Devices must be safely stored away during classes. Photos can be taken after class as long as they adhere to our Media Activities & Social Media Policy.

• While taking videos and pictures are permitted outside of teaching times, consent must be requested from all those captured in the image.

• All spaces, must be treated with respect, left clean and tidy after use. Any damage to property belonging to the venues or YBS must be reported immediately to a member of YBS staff, and may be charged to the student.

• Students must bring a packed lunch with them to the intensive, they will not have the opportunity to leave the venue for lunch. Due to allergies of some of our students, we ask that lunches and snacks are contained away in bags and do not contain nuts.

• Students must adhere to the fire procedures, which will be explained at the induction meeting on registration day.

• Inappropriate, abusive or offensive language is not accepted. 

• Students are encouraged to use electronic payments only on site, any students that bring cash are responsible for its safe keeping. The Pastoral Lead can safe-keep money should a student require this.

• We do not allow intimate contact between students engaging in a relationship. This is to maintain a professional and focused learning environment for all.
