Positive Rewards Structure.

Our academy follows a positive rewards system in order to promote learning in class. This is in the form of stickers and certificates.

We have had success over the years by using this model.

Parents have seen large improvements in listening and behaviour at home and in school.

At Kane Academy it's more than just punching and kicking.


Class Disciplinary Procedure

We promote pupils to have an ability to understand that their actions have a repercussion. For example in the event that little Johnny decides he isn't wanting to listen to instructions today. It is first explained to the child the importance of listening to instructions and working as a team. If a child continues on the same path they are given Time Out and asked to think about their behaviour. After 2 minutes we allow the child back in to participate.


Payments / Invoices

1. Fees are per pupil. There are no discounts.
2. Programme membership is an annual fee based on the Kane Academy being open for 45 weeks of the year and divided into 12 monthly payments.
3. If you have missed a lesson you have missed it. There is no roll over to the next week or month.
4. Monthly fees include the lessons stipulated for the programme that you have subscribed to.

5. Fees are collected by direct debit. The first month is due at the time of joining. Failure to set up the direct debit or any missed payments will incur a £5 surcharge.
6. There are two scheduled dates that payments can occur, either the 1st or the 15th of the month, depending on the date in which you join.
7. Cancellation to membership must be done in writing with 4 weeks’ notice via the contact page on the website with subject header “Membership Cancellation.” The system takes one month to process any changes. This is dependent on the date when payment falls and you may still be charged for the final month. We ask that you give notice in advance and then also cancel on your banking app after final payment is made.
8. We will not be held responsible or accountable for any continued payments made to an ‘active membership’ account as a result of your failure to stop payments as outlined above even if no lessons were attended. This is non refundable.
9. You will be notified with a minimum of 14 working days of any fee changes/increases.
10. Licences and Insurance is mandatory by all pupils attending lessons at Kane Academy. Pupils will be added to an annual licence and insurance direct debit mandate after initially joining the academy. You will receive an email to confirm this at the time you are added. 

11. Our club policy only offers member to member cover it does not include personal injury cover.
