If you wish to cancel the booking, we need a cancellation letter from you as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot return your deposit unless we can re-let the school.

Refund of indemnity

As you know, an indemnity has been charged for the damage of any of the school property or if there are breaches of the school letting agreement.

If there have been no breaches of the hire and the premises are left in good order, the indemnity will be refunded within 28 days after the function. A cheque will be forwarded to the person named on the account.

Courtesy

Please respect the peace of our neighbours. Please leave quietly without unnecessary playing of loud music or the hooting of car horns. Failure to cooperate may result in the loss of indemnity, it could also result in the loss of the community facility.

Thank you for your co-operation.
