Your online account offers you a fast, secure and confidential way of making payments to the school, or bookings for events, at a time and place convenient for you.
The system is run by Tucasi and Worldpay, via a dedicated school portal (Scopay), and works from any smartphone or computer with internet access.

Childcare Vouchers
You can pay for activity clubs, nursery provision and wraparound care using Tax-Free Childcare or Childcare vouchers. Please contact the school office for information on how to arrange this.
Refunds
In accordance with HMRC regulations, any payments made to us using Tax-Free Childcare or Childcare vouchers can only be refunded back to the original childcare account, we cannot issue refunds directly to parents.
Tax Free Childcare refunds
To process refunds to your Tax-Free Childcare account we will need your payment reference number which begins with 11. This can be found in the following way:
- Sign into your account through the Tax-Free Childcare website
- Select "your Tax-Free Childcare Account"
- Select "Manage Account"
- Select "Pay money in"
- Your payment reference will appear on this pay under "payment reference"
Childcare Voucher refunds
Where the provider accepts refunds, these can be made directly back to your childcare voucher account. Please contact your provider to request the reference number required for the payment.
Note that Edenred does not accept refunds and the only option in this instance is for a credit to be applied to your child's account for use on other applicable expenditures in school, or it can be transferred to another registered childcare provider.
