Fame
Academy - summary of rules for students
The
Fame Academy is a centre of excellence for 12 students carefully
selected from around the United Kingdom for their highly promising
musical talent.
The
Academy is run by the Head Teacher and four teaching staff, including
a personal tutor.
During
their time at the Academy, students are required to follow a set
of rules.
If
they break the rules, the head has the discretion to impose disciplinary
measures including, in extreme cases, expulsion.
The
rules include:
Morning
wake-up at 6.30am, lights out at 11.00pm.
Weekly
grading of each student. Each week, one student who has shown outstanding
performance or progress will receive an A grade from the teachers.
The three students who have done least well will be put on probation
and must sing for survival. At the end of the week, one student
will be saved by public vote and another will be saved by fellow
students. The remaining student will be expelled from the Academy.
Students
will be allowed one phone call a week, the duration of the call
to be decided by the Academy.
A
laundry service will be provided. Students must ensure that each
item of clothing, including underwear, must be clearly labelled
with their names.
Students
are expected to show respect at all times to the head, the teachers
and visitors to the Academy, including celebrity performers conducting
masterclasses.
The
Personal Tutor is available to students as their guardian, friend
and counsellor. His door is open at all times. The tutor does not
take part in the weekly grading decisions.
Smoking
is not permitted anywhere inside the Academy building. If the head
deems it to be in the interest of a student's health and quality
of performance, they may be asked to stop smoking.
At
the discretion of the head, small quantities of alcohol may be made
available to students with their evening meal or on special occasions.
