School Gateway – Paying online

12/05/2015

Following the success of online ordering and payment of school uniform, I’m pleased to advise you that we’ve introduced a new service – ‘School Gateway’. This means that you will be able to make online payments by credit or debit card via the School Gateway smartphone app or website.

We will notify you by text or email when new items such as school trips or tickets for events are available for payment on School Gateway. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend this service to payment of school meals at the present time as these monies are handled by CBS Catering.

Aside from saving the school time and money on administration, School Gateway will also make it easier for parents to pay any time 24-7 and reduce the amount of cash being carried by children on school premises.  We will start operating the system immediately and will become a cashless school after the May half term break.

What you need to do now

Activate your School Gateway account. It’s quick and easy to do. All you need are your email address and mobile number that school holds on record for you.  You can do this in two ways:

• Download the app: If you have a smartphone, please download School Gateway from your app store (Android and iPhone). The app shows the same information as the website PLUS it saves the school money when we send you a text message.

or

• Visit the website: www.schoolgateway.com and click on ‘New User’.  You’ll receive a text message with a PIN number. Use this PIN to log into School Gateway.

If you’re having trouble logging in, it may be because the school doesn’t have your current email and mobile phone number on record. Please call the school and we’ll update the details on our system.

We hope that you will find School Gateway to be a fast and easy way to pay for school items.
