ONLINE PAYMENTS FOR SCHOOL

21 April, 2016 User deactivated

Online payments are being introduced in all schools across North Lanarkshire to provide parents/carers with more convenient and flexible methods of payment for school expenses. This service will also allow pupils to reduce the amount of cash they carry to school and help reduce administration and cash handling in schools. Cash and cheque payments can still be made in the same way as at present.

The new safe and secure payment system, called iPayImpact, will enable parents/carers to pay online for school uniform, trips and other school expenses using a credit or debit card. As soon as funds are added for school meals, the money will immediately be available for your child/children to spend in the school canteen.

Letters with full information about the system and details of your child’s unique activation code have been sent home with pupils (see example below). If you have not received this letter, please contact the school.
