We would like to remind parents/carers of our Online Payment System which avoids pupils carrying cash/cheques to school; it is our preferred payment system for subject payments, activities week excursions etc.

We have been notified by East Lothian Council that charges for credit card payments have changed - however these can be avoided with the use of a debit card.

The surcharge rates for commercial and standard credit cards changed recently (originally 1.9%).

The new charges are 2.4% for all commercial credit cards and 1.4% for all standard credit cards.
