Student discounts

Every discount approved and counted.

Sibling, staff or bursary discounts wait for the director when your school wants approval. Only approved discounts lower what a parent owes, and the invoice shows the discount as a number, never hidden in a total.

  • Directors approve or decline from their portal
  • Waiting discounts never touch the balance
  • Discounts as a share of what you bill, at a glance
