Academy Closure Policy

  1. Gracie Barra Roundhay Leeds reserves the right to close the academy at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances.  Although a very rare occurrence, instances which may force closure could include, fire, flood, sickness and viral pandemic.  Unforeseen closure will always be a last resort following every other possible consideration has been taken to remain open.  Compensation to members may be offered in lieu of missed classes and this will be communicated to members within 7 days of any closure.  For prolonged closure an alternative premises to train at and/or an online curriculum will be offered to all members.

  2. The academy closes for 2 weeks each year (Christmas) to allow for deep cleaning, staff holiday and refurbishment and/or investment/improvements made to academy facilities.  The closure dates are published at the beginning of each calendar year on our website and communicated via Whatsapp to our members and within the academy.  Memberships are paid on a monthly basis rather than weekly and therefore all monthly members benefit from 4 additional weeks of training for free each year - including the break at Christmas. Annual and Lifetime members benefit further through increased discounting.

  3. The academy will close for bank holidays for adult classes only.  Open mat training may be offered to adult members and sessions communicated to members in advance.  Attendance at open mats is for members only and must be booked via our membership system in advance. Our children’s programme will continue to be offered on all bank holidays.

  4. Any questions regarding our offering or closure policy should be sent by email to membership@graciebarraroundhay.co.uk.
