Promised refund but not getting one

So my daughter's dance school decided to put the rises of the school up 50% from £26.50 to £40 a month. They also added some yearly reward thing so the 1st of October we paid £70, they use class manager subscription and have our card details so they sort of take the money. They cancelled one lesson in October and told they will also be cancelling  the 1st lesson in November and sent a email to everyone saying "sorry and will refund everyone for these 2 lessons" ok fair enough Anyway we decided to leave and on the 27th of October emailed them and was told we had to give one months notice so we had to pay the 1st of November(£40) for Novembers lessons even though my daughter won't be going. (This is another story)
But now they are making us stay because they've already taken the payment and not replying to us then I just realised they hadn't refunded us for the 2 Missing lessons for October and November that they promised. They said the refund will take up to 10 business days and it's now been well over that. I've also found out they have refund the others in the class that are still there. So they are not replying to emails, messages and no answer to calls.
What rights have I got here? And am I wasting my time trying to get the 2 Missing lessons which total £24 also had £7.50 in credit in the account from May when they called another lesson. Was thinking contacting my bank and reporting November payment as unfulfilled subscription. I think is shocking how they treated us and not giving us the refund because we are leaving is bad.
