The terms governing the educational services provided by Crown Science Education Ltd.
Last updated: 16 February 2026
Introduction
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the educational services provided by Crown Science Education Ltd ("Crown", "we", "our", or "us"). By enrolling a student in our services, you ("the parent", "guardian", or "student") agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully before proceeding with enrolment.
These Terms apply to all services offered by Crown Science Education Ltd, including one-to-one tutoring, access to our online learning platform, and all supplementary educational materials provided.
1. Data Protection & GDPR
Crown Science Education Ltd is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
- Your personal data will be stored securely in password-encrypted files within password-protected accounts
- We will not share your data with any third parties without your explicit consent, unless required by law or for safeguarding purposes
- You have the right to access, rectify, or request deletion of your personal data at any time
- Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil its intended purpose or to meet legal obligations
For full details on how we handle your data, please see our Privacy Policy.
2. Fees & Payment
Crown Science Education Ltd will commence tuition and provide all login details for the online learning platform upon confirmation of the bank transfer of the advance tuition fee to the company's bank account.
Payment Details
Late Payment
Late payment of fees may result in the suspension of tuition services until the outstanding balance is cleared. Access to the online learning platform may also be restricted during this period.
Fee Reviews
Tuition fees are reviewed annually. Written notice will be provided at least 30 days before any changes take effect. Continued enrolment after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the revised fees.
Additional Charges
Requests to cover additional topics or create extra homework beyond the agreed targets for the half term may incur additional charges. Such requests are outside the standard hourly rate and will be discussed and agreed upon before any extra work is undertaken.
3. Missed Lessons & Cancellations
Consistency is fundamental to academic progress. Our policy on missed lessons is as follows:
4. Learning Resources
Termly revision booklets are included in the course fees and issued at the start of each academic term. These booklets are designed to complement our teaching and provide structured revision material.
- Booklets will not be reissued unless under exceptional circumstances, which may incur additional fees for reprinting and delivery
- Students are responsible for keeping all issued materials in good condition
- All resources remain the intellectual property of Crown Science Education Ltd and must not be reproduced, shared, or distributed without written permission
5. Homework & Independent Study
5.1 Homework Assignments
Students enrolled in one-to-one tuition will receive written homework, marked by the tutor, each half term. Self-assessed written homework is also assigned fortnightly alongside online assignments.
5.2 Submission Requirements
- Homework should be uploaded to the designated shared folder for review
- Students are required to upload self-assessed homework for monitoring and tailored feedback
- Homework must be completed before each tutoring session
5.3 Parental Responsibility
Parents are responsible for ensuring that homework is completed before each session. We encourage parents to engage with the online learning platform, exam specifications, and personalised revision booklets to support their child's learning at home.
6. Target Setting & Academic Planning
Personalised targets are set based on the initial assessment conducted at the start of tuition. These targets are designed to ensure consistent progress and optimise the effectiveness of each session.
Professional Expertise
The tutor holds the professional expertise to design, implement, and adjust learning targets, ensuring they align with the educational needs of the student. The delivery of lessons, curriculum design, and learning strategies are determined by the tutor's professional judgement to ensure the highest standard of education.
Progress Reviews
Targets are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the student's progress. Parents will receive updates on their child's performance against these targets during scheduled progress meetings.
Additional Requests
Requests to cover additional topics or create extra homework beyond the agreed targets for the half term may incur additional charges. Such requests will be discussed and agreed upon prior to any extra work being carried out. Significant requests outside the scope of the tuition arrangement may result in a review of the agreement.
7. High Expectations & Independent Learning
Crown Science Education Ltd has high expectations for all students to take responsibility for their learning and develop independent study habits. We believe that consistent, structured self-study is essential to academic success.
Minimum Study Requirements
Students are required to dedicate a minimum of one hour per week to each science subject: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, outside of tutoring sessions.
Evidence-Based Learning
Research in metacognition demonstrates that students who engage in deliberate practice, self-assessment, and reflection significantly improve their learning outcomes. Studies show that distributed practice — spreading study sessions across time — enhances long-term retention and deeper understanding.
Recommended Study Techniques
We encourage students to use active recall techniques such as summarising, quizzing themselves, and explaining concepts to others to build deeper understanding. These strategies are proven to be more effective than passive re-reading or highlighting.
Parental Support
Parents are encouraged to support independent learning by setting aside dedicated study times and creating an environment conducive to focused, distraction-free study.
8. Safeguarding
Crown Science Education Ltd prioritises the safety and wellbeing of all students. We maintain comprehensive safeguarding policies in line with UK legislation and best practice.
- All tutors are subject to enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks and adhere to our safeguarding policies
- Sessions take place in a safe and professional environment
- Any concerns regarding student welfare should be reported immediately to the designated safeguarding lead
- Parents must ensure that students under 18 are in a supervised, appropriate location during online lessons
- All online lessons are recorded by Crown Science Education Ltd for safeguarding and quality assurance purposes
For our full safeguarding policy, please see our Safeguarding Policy.
