School Gateway

Saint George Catholic College uses School Gateway, the UK’s best parent engagement software, to make sure our parents are as closely involved with their children’s school lives as possible.

All school-related communication, newsletters, reports, timetables, attendance figures, go through School Gateway – it is the central hub of information for our parents – so to stay up to date with what’s going on at school, make sure you download the app for free. Just search School Gateway in your App store and download. Simple.

Payments

St George now operates a cashless payment system whereby you can make online payments for such things as school meals, educational visits and extracurricular tuition. This means that it is no longer possible to send money to the college as cash payments. Payment will need to be made online by credit/debit card using the secure payment method Scopay. To credit an account without paying online, we also have a secure payment system at the college where accounts can be topped up manually using cash. 

Cashless catering

Students are no longer able to buy food or drink at college using cash. Instead, each has their own credit account that is debited each time they make a purchase. Payment to the account is made directly by parents/guardians by depositing funds online using the secure payment system Scopay. Alternatively, accounts can be credited using the secure payment system at the college, which accepts cash.

Instead of paying in cash, each student's account is identified by their fingerprint/photo ID and accessed at the point of sale. The chosen purchases are then debited from the account and the balance carried forward.

An advantage of this system is that parents are able to view the purchase history of their child's account to track their diet and how much money is being spent.

Free school meals

For free school meals, allowances are added to their account daily. However, unused money is not carried forward to the following day.

SCOPAY

For parents who prefer the convenience of a mobile App, both Apple and Android versions of SCOPAY are available.
