Policies and Procedures

During the current Covid-19 pandemic, the Conservatoire and its Member Schools, along with other higher education providers, are having to make adjustments to the way in which our programmes of study are normally delivered, to ensure continuation of delivery.

We understand that students will have queries about changes to the planned delivery of their programmes, and we ask you to bear with your School whilst we plan and provide alternative delivery.

In the meantime, specific queries regarding fees or refunds should be addressed to the Conservatoire, rather than the School, at qualityoffice@cdd.ac.uk.

Other queries regarding your programme of study should be addressed directly to your School – if you are not sure to whom you should address such queries in the first instance, get in contact with the named School contact listed on this page of the Conservatoire’s website: http://www.cdd.ac.uk/policies/student-related-policies/

For complaints that do not fall within the scope of queries/issues regarding fees and refunds, the Student Complaints Procedure should be used as follows:

• For BOVTS students, the BOVTS Student Complaints Procedure should be used, and can be found at the following link:

• For students of Central School of Ballet, London Contemporary Dance School, National Centre for Circus Arts, Northern School of Contemporary Dance, and Rambert School of Ballet & Contemporary Dance, the Conservatoire Student Complaints Procedure should be used, and can be found at the following link:
