COVID Health & Safety

Re-Opening The Academy (03/12/2020)

Following today's Government announcement, Portsmouth is listed as being in Tier 2.

We are delighted to welcome you all back with our first class starting on Thursday 3rd December 2020.

We have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure the health & safety of all of our staff, students and families remain at the very top of our priority.

This will inevitably bring some changes and allow us to explore some exciting new opportunities such as our brand new 'booking in' system (link available soon) and other ways to make your experience better and easier.

We value those who have supported us through these trying times and we will be providing you with priority access to our classes.

We will release further details very soon and we look forward to seeing all of our SMA friends.
