Principal and tap teacher · Tap
Ffion taught PE at a secondary school in the town for eleven years, and the lunchtime tap club she started there had a waiting list within three terms. She retrained as a dance teacher in the evenings, and every tap group at Halfpoint, adults included, is hers.

Lydia Bagshaw
Ballet teacher · Ballet
Lydia worked as a physiotherapy assistant before she qualified to teach ballet, and it shows: her classes start on the floor, and nobody is asked to force a position their hips are not ready for. She teaches all three ballet groups.

Safeguarding
Looking after pupils.
Ffion Royle, our principal, is the school’s safeguarding lead. Children are signed in and out by a parent or carer at every class, and no child leaves with anyone the school has not been told about (sample school policy).
Every teacher holds an enhanced DBS check (sample claim).
General guidance, England and Wales: teaching children once a week or more is regulated activity, so a dance teacher can be asked for an enhanced DBS check with a children’s barred list check. In Scotland the equivalent check comes from Disclosure Scotland through the PVG scheme, and in Northern Ireland from AccessNI.
