Managing payments and admin in special schools

Schools for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities have particular requirements which aren’t met by all administration systems. Whatever the size and age-range of your school, our flexible, customisable suite of modules will help to manage your administration and finance more efficiently.

The trusted online payment system for special schools.

How we can help your special school

The system is fast to adopt and easy-to-use for school administrators and parents alike. The modular suite of products is adaptable to your school’s particular needs and allows you to decide on the scale of implementation. All modules are fully integrated with communications and online payments, to help you easily send personalised texts or emails to parents and collect payments.

Plus, the comprehensive reporting functionality helps you analyse your data more effectively. Your staff can easily run reports for each module you use. Summary reports can be exported quickly, ready to drop into your finance system, including nominal codes.

Make it easy for parents

Parents can pre-order meals, book their children onto trips, purchase uniforms and settle school fees, all through their SCOPAY account.

Aside from card payments, parents can also pay by Google Pay and Apple Pay.

Getting you set up

To get your SEND school’s admin team up and running quickly, you will be assigned a trainer who will firstly chat with you about your procedures and requirements. They will then configure the system for you, set up all your users, and transfer your data, including any existing balances and debts. Crucially, your dedicated trainer will tailor each one-to-one session according to your school’s individual requirements.

Ongoing support

Once you are up and running, that’s just the start of your journey with Tucasi.

People are at the heart of Tucasi, so you can be sure that when you need help, you can pick up the phone and talk to a human to get your issue fixed. On average, our Customer Support Team resolve 95% of technical issues on the first call.

Plus, whenever you need it, we offer refresher training or tailored sessions for all your staff, including new recruits.

CASE STUDY: See how we helped The Austen Academy, a small SEN school, to go paperless & cashless, to manage payments for their dinners, snacks and trips.

Free SCOPAY app for parents!

Parents can book trips, clubs, dinners and make payments with our free SCOPAY app.

Give your parents access to their own mobile dashboard, where they can see balances, make payments, and even view calendars, right from their phones.

Parents can also set up alerts for reminder messages, e.g. low dinner balance, by email.

Some of our school customers

SCOPAY is a very user friendly system. It is logical and easy to use, with good reports functionality and being able to download into excel is a real bonus. It makes the management of the school finances very easy and saves the team a lot of work. It has made us far more efficient and there is an audit trail for everything so it is easy to track back if there are any issues.

St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School

I'm really pleased with the software, it has already helped me with all sorts of jobs and cut my workload hugely.

Hindon Primary School

We previously used Tucasi from 2018 to 2022. Due to circumstances, we had to change our online payment provider. We quickly realised how much we missed Tucasi due to it's ease and functionalities and have made the decision to return to Tucasi.

Landywood Primary school

As a school, we find Tucasi very easy to use and for audit purposes is great. Support always very good.

St Edward's Royal Free Ecumenical Middle School

SCOPAY will transform the way parents pay for goods and services and save the office staff so much time. Prepayment prior to booking clubs and dinners avoids the need to chase payments.
