      Dear Parents and Carers 

      We are delighted to offer instrumental and vocal lessons in school for your child for the 2026-27 academic year which are being delivered by Hampshire Music Service (HMS). Instrumental includes brass, guitar, keyboard/piano, and percussion/drums.

      The cost for group lessons is £111.58 per term / £334.75 for the year and payment should be made on Arbor either in full or as three equal payments of £111.58 payable at the start of each term. This payment will guarantee that at least 10 lessons are received per school term.  

      There is also availability to receive an individual 20 minute lesson per week on your chosen instrument/voice; this enables a greater depth of teaching on a one-to-one basis and is particularly useful for those studying their instrument at a higher grade. The cost for this option is £223.17 per term / £669.50 for the year.

      Should you wish to enrol your child for the 2026-27 academic year, please email finance@danebury.hispmat.org and confirm your child’s name, tutor group (if known), instrument, and if your preference is a shared or individual session. We will then contact you to confirm your request, advise when the lesson will take place each week, and set up the payment request on Arbor.  

      If you would be interested in starting lessons sooner, please do get in touch via the finance email.

    • Youth Impact, First Aid Course

      Published 13/03/26, by Susan Braidley

       

      Dear Parent/Guardian,

      We’re delighted to introduce our new Youth Impact Foundation Programme, a four-day holiday programme taking place during this Easter holidays, designed specifically for young people aged 11–14 (Year 7 – Year 9).

      Your Sports Education has a strong track record of delivering high-quality youth programmes. Traditionally, we run a programme for Year 11 students during the summer, and we’re excited to now launch this new Foundation Programme, created especially for younger students to enjoy the same fun, confidence-building experiences at an age-appropriate level.

      This programme combines fun with valuable learning in a safe, supportive environment. The cost is £99 for all four days or £50 for any two days, and we are pleased to offer fully funded (free) places for pupils who receive Free School Meals and are HAF eligible.

      What is the Foundation Programme?

      The Foundation Programme is all about helping young people have an amazing week during the Easter holidays while building confidence, making friends, and learning new skills along the way. Families can choose for their child to attend any two days or all four days, offering flexibility to suit different schedules.

      Across the programme, young people will take part in a wide variety of fun, hands-on activities, including:

      · High-energy teambuilding games and inflatables

      · A variety of sports activities

      · An interactive Monopoly Challenge, introducing money management and decision-making in a fun way

      · A practical first aid workshop, teaching life-saving skills

      · A creative cooking workshop, building confidence and independence

      · Debating workshops to help young people find their voice

      · A media workshop, exploring creativity and communication

      · A fun photobooth workshop, encouraging self-expression and teamwork

      · Managing money sessions to introduce positive financial habits

      Why should my child take part?

      The Foundation Programme is designed to be fun, engaging, and rewarding, while also supporting young people to:

      · Build confidence, independence, and resilience

      · Learn practical life skills in an enjoyable, hands-on way

      · Make new friends and feel part of a team

      · Discover new interests and talents

      · Enjoy a memorable, active half-term experience that balances learning with fun

      Free places for FSM / HAF-eligible pupils

      We are committed to ensuring all young people can access exciting holiday opportunities. If your child receives Free School Meals and is HAF eligible, they can at-tend the Foundation Programme completely free of charge.
