Using the Portal 

The Portal homepage has a blue menu bar across the top with buttons for each area of the portal. You may or may not see all of the following buttons depending on what activities your child is registered for in school. 

Awaiting Consent 

If your child has any items awaiting your consent, such as a school trip, you will land on this page when you select their account. 

Depending on the nature of the item that requires consent, you may or may not be able to pay for the item at this point (if there is a charge). If there is a charge, you may be able to choose how much you would like to pay or the amount may be fixed. 

Awaiting Payment 

If there are no items awaiting your consent, you will instead land on this page when you log in to your child’s account. 

This page will display all of the outstanding invoices associated with your child. For each invoice, it will show a description, the original amount billed and the amount outstanding to be paid. The total amount outstanding for all invoices can be found at the bottom of the page. 

To make a payment, select the invoice you would like to pay and click “Pay”. You can then choose to make either a full or part payment. 

Payments made through the portal are immediately allocated to your child’s account and balances adjusted accordingly. 

School Shop 

The school shop is where you can purchase items that have not already been specifically invoiced to your child. For example, this might be revision guides or locker hire. 

Once you have added all of the items you wish to purchase to your basket, you can make payment by clicking on the “Basket” icon in the top right hand corner of the screen. 

Upcoming Activities 

All of your child’s upcoming activities are listed on this page. This includes school trips and wraparound care. You can select which week you would like to view by entering a date or clicking on the calendar icon. 

Please note that items such as trips may not appear in your upcoming activities immediately if it requires additional approval by the school, such as when there are limited places available.

Account History 

This page displays all of the transactions associated with your child’s account whether they are current or historic. You can view transactions for a particular date range by entering a Start and End date or clicking the calendar icons. 

Message History 

Any messages sent to you by the school are shown here. A red number on the button indicates new messages. 

Change Pupil 

If you have more than one child registered to your account, you can switch between them by clicking the “Change Pupil” button. 

Add Pupil 

You can add additional children to your account at any time by clicking the “Add Pupil” button.
