So pleased to announce that Miss Levi is expecting her first baby in November! Congratulations from all of us at the Susan Handy School.

Tabitha Shaefer has been awarded a scholarship, from September, for dance at her new school Reddam House. Many congratulations!

Dear Parents, may I remind you that you have signed to say your child/children will attend all classes etc. It is making it extremely difficult for the teachers to choreograph and rehearse the dances for the show. Thank you Sue Handy

The Susan Handy School of Dance would like to do its bit towards the environment and request that students no longer bring plastic bottles to class but bring a reusable one they can fill up from the tap. Thank you.

Parents/Students Please can you make sure that on entering and leaving the Baldwin Institute that the door closes properly behind you. As you know we have a keypad on the door with a code so that the door remains closed and locked during classes in the evening. It cannot be left to close on its own - the latch must be reset. For the safety of all of our students and their property can I ask that extra care is taken.

Dear Parents, Can you make sure you check the website and school noticeboards for basic enquires before contacting the office. My staff are being overloaded by emails and it would help a lot if you could do this as your first port of call. Sue Handy
