Summer School Prices

All Summer Schools are £100.00 each.  Any family in receipt of benefit will be offered a 25% discount (proof required). Please note: no other discount applies.

Why the Clwyd Theatr Cymru weekly workshops and summer schools will no longer be in recept of Flintshire County Council subsidy:

Flintshire County Council has been looking at the financial support given to the Education Department at Clwyd Theatr Cymru.  To ensure value for money and that all young people in the county have access to the provision delivered by the theatre the local authority will now be supporting educational projects designed specifically for schools covering all key stages from foundation phase to secondary school age.
