Our payment provider has now confirmed that this has been resolved. We will be continuing to monitor the service over the coming days. Any payments made by parents between 17:00 on the 19/04/2022 and 14:00 on the 21/04/2022 where they received a failed message will need to submitted again. We will be carrying out a full investigation on the cause of the outage to ensure this can not happen again.
Once again, apologies for the inconvenience caused.
