Online and Cashless Payment options
Dear Parents and Carers
Seely is a cashless school (apart from FOS fundraising events, school fairs and non uniform etc where small amounts of cash will be accepted). Please ensure that you register for cashless payments online via school gateway or request paypoint vouchers from the school office so that you can pay for trips/dinners/clubs etc in this way without delay.
Getting started
You will need to register for a School Gateway account from www.schoolgateway.com. You will need to enter your email address and mobile number we have on record for you. If you aren’t sure if we have up to date details for you, please contact the school office, if we don’t have your email address it won’t work.
When you have entered your email address and mobile number, select the Send PIN button, a PIN number will be sent to your mobile phone. You can then use this PIN number to log into the School Gateway and view/ make payments.
Once you have set up your account you may want to install the "school gateway" app for quicker more convenient payments on the go. Go to the "app" or "play" store and search for "school gateway", download, open up and use your log in details as you would on the computer/tablet... and away you go!
Note: When you are using the School Gateway app you will need to ensure that you have enabled notifications as any text messages sent through our M.I.S. system will auto route to the Gateway app as this saves us money. To find out out to enable notifications and for other support with the app please see the support guide below.
Payment requests
When there is money owing to school by you, we can set up payment requests and you will be notified by text or email that there is a payment request available. Simply log in using your email address and your PIN number, select the payment request(s) you wish to fulfil and follow the Wizard through to pay.
Convenient
You can give your consent for trips online, saving you the need to fill out permission slips and write notes into school about trips. When a trip is due you will be sent a text or an email to let you that you need to log in to the school gateway and give your consent, it’s as easy as that.
You can see a record of the payments that you’ve made and receipts are sent to your registered email address for all transactions you make. Depending on your school you will be able to see what meals have been taken by your child and your current meal balance and receive reminders to top up when you are getting low.
The new system removes the need to send money into school with your child, removing the chance of money going astray, making it convenient for you to pay when it suits you, from anywhere at any time of day or night.
Secure
Your card details are not visible or stored in the Schoolcomms or school system.
All card information is processed by Barclaycard.
You log in using the email address registered with the school and with your PIN number.
PayPoint Vouchers
If you prefer not to pay online or through the school gateway app, you will need to request re-usable PayPoint vouchers to pay for trips / dinners etc to be used at your convenience whilst shopping instead of having to give cash into school. Please ask any of the office staff about this.
Local PayPoint facilities are located by clicking on the following link: https://www.paypoint.com/en-gb?postcode=ng5+3ae
If you have any questions about this, please contact us at the school. The designated person looking after your queries in school is Mrs Paula Gallagher-Read, Business Manager.
