I have copied the statement below from a newsletter I have received this afternoon. I will be speaking to our examiner tomorrow and once I have done that I will email everyone with all details. Not looking as bad as I thought when I first heard the news today,I was absolutely devastated when I heard we were tier 3, but the rules have changed. Please read the statement below and I will be in touch as soon as I have spoken to Mrs Plummer.

Our understanding is that dance schools can remain open and classes and exams can continue for the under 18s across tiers.

Adult examinations can also continue across all three tiers but adult classes can continue in Tier 1 if taught in a group of only 6 participants and if practicable in Tier 2 where no mixing outside of household or bubbles. Adult classes cannot be taught in Tier 3.
