Updated over a week ago
Following Boris Johnson's announcement on the 22nd February 2021, we have outlined what the Government's four-step strategy means for London Paella School classes.
No earlier than 8th March*
Classes may need to be cancelled unless your teacher falls under one of the exemptions, and students will be sent an email with links to either reschedule or refund their booking.
No earlier than 12th April*
Classes will continue to run as planned. Bookings for more than 1 person must be with other members of your household or support bubble. Social distancing measures will be in place during the class and face coverings are mandatory for all in attendance.
No earlier than 17th May*
Classes will continue to run as planned. No group larger than 6 (from separate households) can attend as part of one booking. Social distancing measures will be in place during the class and face coverings are mandatory for all in attendance.
No earlier than 21st June*
Classes will continue to run as planned. All restrictions and social distancing measures are lifted.
*There are a number of exceptions for each date relating to classes for children, registered/formal education & training and other circumstances. You can read more about this here.
Please note, these dates are dependant on the Government guidance to lift restrictions at each stage only if the strict conditions are met.
Will the maximum number of participants per class be capped at 6 from the 17th May, or only open for private household bookings from the 12th April?
No, as our Chef lecturer are organising the class as part of their business, they are able to host more than 6 people (or the size of a household) in any one class as long as they comply with social distancing measures and the NHS Test and Trace System (information which we already receive from you upon booking). That said, our Teachers like to keep classes small for better learning, so it's unlikely classes will be much larger than 6!
