Please note this online payment system is totally separate from the IpayImpact Dinner Money system.

The scopay app is now available, and you can make payments via your mobile devices, by downloading the app.

The Test Valley School canteen operates a cashless system to pay for school meals using a secure service called iPayimpact.

iPayimpact offers:

• a secure online account with your own unique username and password
• a secure activation via your email address
• a secure system to make online payments using your credit or debit card
• the freedom to make payments whenever and wherever you like - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Once activated you should keep your username and password safe and secure. For further information on iPayimpact please see the FAQs information attached or visit www.iPayimpact.co.uk  

Making a payment is straightforward and iPayimpact holds a payment history for you to view at a later date; no card details are stored in any part of the system. Once you have activated your account you can make online payments straight away. You will receive your unique iPayimpact Account activation details by email once your child has registered.

All pupils will need to be registered to be able to purchase items from the school canteen in September. This will involve taking an image of your child’s finger and turning this information into a biometric digital signature. Further details on this are attached to reassure you that this is not the same as holding a finger print.
