How to apply
When booking, please select a group - Stafford or Fitzpiers. The timings are the same for each.
Although each session is independent of the others, we expect children to attend all the Masterclasses in their course. There is no charge but places are limited and we will run a waiting list so please do let us know if your child can no longer attend.
We have written to the headteachers of participating schools to send out the invitation.
The deadline for applying to the course is 9 August 2024. Please only apply to one masterclass. Your automatic confirmation will book your child onto the event. We will then send your further information/joining instructions with more details about the course, before the end of the summer holidays.
