Reminder of the signing up procedures using School Gateway
Using Schoolgateway allows you to sign up from a given date/time and pay in full for clubs. In order for this to happen successfully it is very important that you have installed School Gateway. If you haven’t already done so please follow these 3 simple steps:
Step1Go to
Step 2Press the ‘New User’ button and enter your email and mobile number (the one that you told your school) – your PIN number will then be texted to your phone.
Step 3Log in as an existing user using your email address and 4 digit PIN number.
You will now be up and running.
Club sign up will be made live from Monday 28 Augustand close on Tuesday 5 September.
We will release the programme of activities with number of places available and you will be able to see these on your School Gateway account from Monday 28 August. Just select the activities you would like your child to attend and then
1. Firstlybook them on the club which allocates them a place (very important)
2.Secondlymake the payment.
You can pay using your debit/credit card in the normal way. If you have more than one activity you can add these to a basket and pay at the end.
Once you have signed your child(ren) up for a club, they are expected to honour the commitment for one whole termand refunds will not be possible. We also hope to avoid children signing up, then not attending the club and taking a place which another child might have used.
