FUTURE YARD BAND CLUBS T+CS
MISSION STATEMENT
Music is meant to be experienced together. At Future Yard, our instrumental lessons and band clubs go beyond learning notes, they’re about collaboration, creativity, and building something bigger. Collaborative learning isn’t just more fun; it fuels confidence, pushes boundaries, and gives music real purpose.
Our band clubs and instrumental lessons are built on learning together, making them inclusive, accessible, and exciting. This isn’t just music tuition, it’s about being part of a scene, a movement, a future where young artists have the tools and confidence to make their mark. Because at Future Yard, we don’t just play music… we live it!
Future Yard is more than a venue, it’s a community. We create spaces where young musicians can experiment, develop their sound, and find their voice in an environment driven by discovery, energy, and shared experience.

BEHAVIOUR
OUR VALUES AND EXPECTATIONS
At Future Yard, we are committed to delivering safe, inclusive, and engaging sessions for all young people taking part in our programmes. This policy sets out our expectations around behaviour and outlines our approach to supporting children with additional behavioural or emotional needs.
We aim to create a positive environment where all young people:
- Feel welcome, valued, and respected;
- Can participate fully and confidently;
- Are supported to develop creatively and socially.
To support this, we ask all young people to:
- Treat others – including staff and peers – with respect and kindness both in person and online;
- Listen to instructions to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment;
- Take part in sessions in a way that supports a positive group atmosphere.
SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL NEEDS
We value working closely with families to ensure that every child has the best possible experience at Future Yard. If your child has specific needs or behaviours we should be aware of, please ensure that their child profile on ClassforKids has their additional learning or medical needs updated.
We understand that some young people may have additional behavioural or emotional needs, or require extra support to engage fully with group activities. While we are committed to inclusion, we currently do not have the capacity to provide one-to-one pastoral support in addition to delivering our sessions.
If your child requires ongoing one-to-one support, or may need to take time out during a session to regulate or reset, we ask that a parent or carer remains onsite for the duration of the activity. This enables you to support your child directly if they need to step away from the session, helping us maintain a positive and consistent experience for the whole group.
Please note:
- This is only necessary in cases where specific needs or behaviour patterns require additional adult support;
- Our intention is always for all children to remain in and enjoy the full session;
- These measures are in place to ensure that sessions are accessible, safe, and of high quality for everyone involved.
We offer a welcoming space onsite with coffee/bar facilities, free Wi-Fi, and seating, so parents and carers are welcome to stay and relax while sessions are running.
COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS
Any communication from the Band Clubs team will sent via ClassforKids platform for any session updates or important information. Please ensure you access to your ClassforKids account to receive any messages, or you may download the ClassforKids parent app to see your Band Clubs information and any communication.
This policy helps us create a positive, inclusive space where all young people can thrive creatively and socially. Thank you for your understanding and partnership.
