Understandably we will still be subject to certain restrictions until June at the earliest so please do take time to read the...

IMPORTANT UPDATE – PRACTICAL LESSONS SUSPENDED!!

Hello Parallel Family Given the news tonight regarding the governments Social distancing measures to reduce social interaction between people to help slow the transmission of Coronavirus (COVID-19). We have made the difficult decision to suspend practical lessons at Parallel for the near future. It would be irresponsible of us to remain open in this way given the unprecedented circumstances we are currently under and would put unnecessary pressure on families to attend. We know how disappointing this is and also how important the parallel family is to everyone. It almost seems ironic that at a time like this when we...
