ENTRY DETAILS
How do I join Scream juniors?
The first stage to joining Scream Theatre Schools is a trial Day. Joining us for a trial allows you to participate in a regular Junior Session, giving you time to make sure this is the right place for you. Our staff are experts at spotting young talent and will be looking for potential pupils with the passion to perform.
What do I need to wear for the trial?
Wear something loose and comfortable, such as a tracksuit and trainers (or other soft shoes). Remember, we move and dance, so your clothing needs to allow you to do this!
When will I find out if I’ve been successful?
We’ll email you within one week of your trial (please check your junk and spam folders) and let you know the outcome. Hopefully, we will be sending you an invitation to join our Scream Juniors! Fingers crossed!
How much is an Assessment?
It costs £25.00 for your two-hour trial, during which time you’ll join in with the class as normal, make new friends, learn new skills and decide if we’re the place for you!
I’ve had my trial. What happens now?
We hope you had lots of fun at your trial! Now we’ll get feedback from all your teachers and the Principal will send you an email. We’ll aim to do this within a week. Hopefully, it will be an Invitation to join us permanently, the first step to your bright new start with Scream Theatre Schools!
Uniform
All of our pupils are required to wear our Scream Theatre Schools t-shirt as a minimum.
Visit our Merchandise page for our full range.
What is the commitment period?
For our Scream Juniors, we require simply a month’s written notice if your child wishes to leave. Our ethos is that we ‘Create Confident Children’, we can only do this with commitment and dedication to training. This formula is tried and tested.
My child has joined, but it isn’t working out. Where do I stand?
Firstly, we understand some youngsters have difficulties when adapting to new environments or joining established groups – this is human nature! We ask that you make us aware of any problems so we can help you and your child overcome them. Stick with it! We’ll help!
Secondly, if you have had your trial, accepted a place and joined, then we require a month’s written notice. Your child is still welcome to attend for the month that is being served as notice.
Do you offer discounts for siblings?
Yes! We offer a 25% discount for the second child, third child etc. from the same-parent families.
Is there a registration fee?
There is a £15.00 registration fee, which applies to all students. You’ll here more about this in your Welcome Pack if you’re successful in your assessment.
Do you accept everyone who books a trial?
No. We are very fortunate in being over-subscribed and able to be very selective with those who come to try out for a place at the school. However, we always love discovering new talent and helping it to develop, at whatever stage it is. You do not have to be a great performer already – it is our job to help you!
Do students take exams?
Pupils at Scream Theatre School may take optional examinations during some of our terms dependent on the curriculum (exams are optional as examination fees are payable). Our workshops are full to the brim with high quality teaching with a heavy dash of fun!
Do students take part in productions?
We have one main performance for our juniors annually at the end of the summer term. Our Presentation Day is where we celebrate the achievements of the Juniors and give them the opportunity to perform on stage for parents, guardians, friends and family. Our productions do carry an entry fee of £30 – £35 for each pupil.
What kind of dance will they learn at Scream Juniors?
Street Dance and commercial are the main dance genres that we teach at Scream Juniors. We were one of the pioneers of this when we began in 1998, and it’s still incredibly popular with youngsters twenty years later! You’ll get a taster of this at your Assessment Day!
Can I join Scream juniors after the term has already started?
Yes! A trial can be booked at any point in the year. Starting part-way through a term may mean that it won’t be possible for the student to partake in some activities. However, students can still participate in all classes and the creative team will do their very best to ensure all students can take full advantage of the opportunities available.
How will I know how my child is getting on?
One of the most important things is to know how your child is getting on and identifying areas for further development. This is why we provide an annual progress report from our teachers and school management team, which will offer constructive feedback in the areas of Acting, Singing, and Dance. Where appropriate, we will also comment on behaviour.
Paying for Scream
At Scream Theatre Schools, the cost of a term is £240.00. Broken down, this is a little over £9.50 per hour. Payments are made in 2 equal instalments of £120.00 for a full 12-week term. If you join during a term you will only pay for the remaining weeks within that term.
Our accounts team will then be in touch with your first invoice, this will be calculated at the number of weeks left in the term your child joins us. They will also send a direct debit link which must be activated within 48 hours.
Is it good value for money?
We believe that our fees accurately reflect the high standard of training that our pupils receive from our experienced industry professionals and are in line with other theatre schools. This is also similar to other dance schools, which charge approximately £6 per 35-minute lesson, whereas, at Scream, it proportionately works out at a little over £9.50 per hour!
Is my child safe at Scream Theatre School?
Your child’s safety is of paramount importance to us and your child will always be overseen by someone who has an up-to-date DBS check (the new-style Criminal Record Bureau check). If you wish to be sent our Child Protection Policy, please email info@screamtheatreschools.com
