Planned Absences Policy
At Anima, we understand there may occasionally be times when your child cannot attend their usual gymnastics class due to illness, holidays, or family events.
As a courtesy, we offer a Planned Absence option, allowing you to book a replacement class on an alternative day or time, subject to our availability.
Please note:
- It is your responsibility to book and attend the replacement class within 8 weeks from the date your planned absence was submitted.
- Replacement classes depend strictly on availability and are not guaranteed.
- Planned absences do not qualify for refunds, credits, or deductions from your fees.
- If you are unable to attend your regular class or schedule a suitable replacement class within the provided timeframe, the class will be forfeited.
This policy helps us ensure fairness to all families, maintain class quality, and manage our sessions effectively.

Bank Holidays
We will be closed on Monday 5th May and Monday 26th May for the Bank Holidays.
- If you book in 12-block bookings, your credit for these sessions will automatically roll over to the following week.
- For those who pay by Direct Debit, your fees will be adjusted automatically — you won’t need to do anything.
Assessment Weeks
Assessment weeks will take place from:
- Monday 28th April – Sunday 4th May
- Monday 19th May – Sunday 25th May
We are excited to announce that you can now access your child’s assessment results directly through your HomePortal on our new booking system here!
