As you may be aware, the Council has introduced an online payment system methods to make life easier for parents / carers. The safe and secure online payment system – called iPayImpact – also allows pupils to reduce the amount of cash they carry to school and help reduce administration and cash handling in schools.
CATERING PAYMENTS
To use the iPayImpact in order to pay for school meals money has to be added to the pupil account using the following link:
https://www.ipayimpact.co.uk/IPI/mgslp?Bref=NLC
As well as making payments through iPayImpact, you can also log in and see the balance on your child/children’s accounts and see what they have bought in the canteen, whether you have paid online or not.
PAYMENTS FOR OTHER SCHOOL EXPENSES, EG TRIPS
In the future we are also planning to use IpayImpact as a method for parents / carers to pay for school trips and other school expenses.
