FAQ
I want to select a different time to attend each week
If your school offers different times you can sign up to, you can only specify one for each day. To change the times for different weeks, sign up for each session one at a time.
Why hasn't my child been signed up for all the sessions I selected?
Depending on the available sessions, you may not be signed up for all the sessions you select.
- If your school has a cap on the number of students who can attend a session that is already reached, your child won't be signed up.
- If your school decides on a cut-off time for signing up to a session, your child won't be signed up if you try to book past the cutoff time.
- If your school charges for the club but haven't specified the price for the session, you won't be able to book your child on - please contact your school and ask them to add a price for the session.
For all the reasons above, please contact your school and ask them if they can add your child into the session manually.
Topping up your account if your balance is low
If your school requires you to top up funds before signing up, you won't be able to sign up and you'll get an error message.
Here's the message on the Parent Portal.
On the App, it will look like this.
You will need to return to the club page and click Top up account.
On the Parent App, you can add the amount to your basket.
On the Parent Portal, you can choose to pay or add the amount to your basket to pay later.
Top Tip: Can't click the button? Follow this article: I can't click the button to pay?
When you pay, you may have to then authenticate your identity for the payment to go through. This is a requirement of the recently introduced Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulations.
If authentication is needed for the payment, you will be prompted to authenticate the payment using the method of authentication your bank supports. This could be:
- an SMS code,
- your mobile banking app
- another method
For example, here's what it may look like if you're using Monzo. (Please note, we are not affiliated with Monzo, this is purely an example)
Once we've been able to confirm your identity, the payment will be completed and your card will be charged. You'll see confirmation that the transaction has been successful.
