Bookings
You have the following options for making bookings: individual bookings or bulk bookings. Upon completing your booking, you will be presented with various payment options. If you have booked for the entire school year, you can choose to make partial payments through monthly installments. Please note that equal payments will enable you to pay in monthly installments, with the payment taken on the 28th of each month for the following month, eg; You will be billed on 28th of August for September bookings.
iPAL will send you email reminders on the 25th; please mark no-reply@schoolipal.co.uk as safe to ensure you receive them.
Please be reminded of the following:
- All bookings must be made through iPAL to maintain a register and assist with managing attendee numbers and staff provision.
- Bookings for Breakfast & Afterschool Club can be made up until 4pm the day before. Bookings are subject to availability. If spaces are full on a date you're trying to book, you can join the waiting list to be notified should a place become available.
- Parents/Carers hold responsibility for managing their bookings. If bookings are not made and the provision is full, we cannot accept further children. This is to ensure our ratios are met and we run safely. It is the responsibility of parents/carers to keep their children's account information up to date, including any changes to medical or collection details. This can be done by clicking on the profile and selecting the children on the account.
- Please make sure to carefully review your confirmation email after booking. If you select the wrong date and your child does not appear on our register, we will not be able to collect them. If the school reception needs to call you and you want your child to come to the club, we may not have space available. You can review your bookings via your invoice or by accessing your calendar on iPAL.
- There is a 1-day cancellation period. You cannot cancel and receive a refund for any bookings within 1 day of the session. If you need to cancel within this period, please log in, click on the calendar, select the session date, and add a note (e.g., "not attending tonight") if your child will not be attending.
Dragon Club cannot be held responsible for any incorrect bookings.
