Please don't worry if you have already enrolled with us but haven't received an email with log ins to iPay yet. Our enrolment events have been really busy, so there may be a delay in getting everyone on our system. Our team are working hard to ensure this happens as quickly is possible.

We're also experiencing a technical issue with our new iPay portal that is affecting students ordering uniform and kit. This is being looked into urgently and emails will be sent out as soon as it is rectified.
