Information for Parents – Online Access letter
Following the online access letter which was posted out to parents/carers last week, it has come to light that there was an error with the letter produced, where in some cases another students details were printed on the reverse. The error was immediately reported to both Outwood Grange Academies Trust and the SCOpay online system administration team. To this end we can confirm that all Scopay accounts setup since 14 September 2018 have now been disabled and the accounts removed. Any link codes generated have been deactivated and new link codes will be sent out to parents in due course.
Please note that this was an online access registration letter – this does not affect school dinner money accounts. The SCOpay system is used for paying online for trips and events only.
Please be assured that we take GDPR very seriously and we apologise for this error and any inconvenience caused. A whole school text message was sent out on Friday 14 September 2018 asking that all letters be returned to the Academy, unopened if possible.
