Dear Students and Parents,

Please note that from 1st January 2026 all training fees must be paid into the new account only.

The previous Kenilworth and Rugby accounts will be closed on Monday.

Please change your standing order immediately to ensure your training continues with Pat Carter Schools of Tae Kwon Do.

New Payment Details (Effective Immediately)

Name: PAT CARTER SCHOOLS OF TAE KWON DO

Bank: Santander UK

Account Number: 87774472

Sort Code: 09-01-27

Please ensure you use the student’s name as the payment reference so I can confirm your payment on the 1st of each month.

If you have any issues, please contact me.

Training Fees (from 1st January 2026)

  • Once per week: £39.00 per calendar month
    Please update your standing order to reflect this amount.

If you wish to move to twice per week training to stay on track with grading, please make this change by 1st January 2026. The club is growing, and spaces may not be available later.

Grading Information – Important Reminder

This is to clarify why some students were unable to grade recently:

  • Training once a week may result in double the grading time frame.

  • From blue belt and above, grading intervals are:

    • 6 months if training twice weekly

    • 12 months if training once weekly

  • Lower grades also require consistent attendance throughout the entire grading period.

  • You cannot train once a week and then switch to twice a week a month or two before grading to qualify.

Standards and Expectations

Thank you for your continued support.

Pat Carter Schools of TKD maintains high discipline and correct practice. Other clubs may operate differently, but we aim to be the best.

Black Belt & Advanced Classes

  • New Dan grades: Excellent work—keep pushing.

  • Red belts and black tags: You need to increase effort and maintain 100% attendance.
    If the class becomes too challenging, I may move you back to the middle class so spaces are available for those ready to progress.

This is a strong and positive place within the club, and together we will continue to strive for excellence.

Upcoming Gradings

Good luck to everyone grading next week.

Tigers (Monday): Please show me clearly that you can perform what is required.

If you are still struggling, we will pause grading and focus again in March 2026.No stress and being happy is more important than struggling through.

Thank you,

Pat Carter
