   Each external facilitator operates as an independent business. MAMJS involvement is
    purely to provide the opportunity for our students and space to hold classes. All payment
    and queries regarding extra curricular classes therefore must be made directly and
    independently with each facilitator.
   In accordance with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), Mount Anville
    Montessori Junior School will not give any personal information relating to your child to
    any facilitator. Any personal information given by you to a facilitator will be the
    responsibility of that individual and not the school.
   Please note any instruments or equipment left in the school or on the grounds are not
    the school’s responsibility.
   There will be no extra curricular classes in the week leading up to Christmas holidays
    (w/c 17th December 2018).

  coaching outside of school hours but it would be great to have as many girls
