AN online system for school payments will come into effect at Ledbury Primary, after half term.

The system, which is similar to the one already used at the John Masefield High School, will be 'going live’ on Monday June 6.

Parents will have their own unique pass-word and activation code.

The system be used for school trips, dinner

money and other payments, and is meant to give parents

the freedom to make secure payments to school whenever and wherever they like, and reduce or end the need for cheques and cash payments.
