Scopay Balances - Important Information - Please Read

We are currently experiencing high levels of debt across dinner money, Breakfast and After School Club, which is taking a lot of administrative time to follow up and manage.

Please can we politely remind parents that dinner accounts should be kept in credit if your child has school lunches and Breakfast and After School Club bookings should be paid for in advance of taking place.

Effective from Summer term, if debts exceed £10 on your child's account, we may have no option but to refuse bookings at Breakfast and After School clubs, or refuse to provide hot lunches, until accounts are settled.

Weekly emails are sent to advise of any outstanding balances but please can we remind parents that it is your responsibility to check your child's account and update payments accordingly.

If you are experiencing financial difficulty and wish to discuss a payment plan for any costs relating to school, please request a confidential meeting with Mrs Rook, School Business Manager. 

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
