https //www.schoolcloud.co.uk Login : How do I Access SchoolCloud?

Parents can log into SchoolCloud by visiting https://schoolcloud.co.uk/ and filling out the form with the correct details for youself and your child. Parents must use the same email address that we have on file for you in order to access the system successfully.

Although you can make bookings for parents as an admin, there are a number of differences from what a parent would see. You may wish to log in as a parent, to get a feel for how the system works or to check that they can log in successfully.

Logging in as a parent using their name

1. Go to the Data > Parents section and find the parent using the search box at the top right.

2. Click the pencil icon to open the edit parent page which shows you all the data you have for that parent.

In order to log in a parent must enter details that match the information in the system exactly (i.e. if their name is ‘Samantha’, they cannot enter ‘Sam’).

NOTE: If you find some details are incorrect, or the parent doesn’t exist in the Parents section at all, you should correct this as soon as possible.

If the record is synced with a management system (denoted by the cloud icon), correct the record in your management system then re-sync the system. You can find information on what we sync and why particular records might not come through in the School Management Systems category on our support site.

If the record isn’t synced with a management system, edit the details on the page directly then click the Save button.

3. Now you have the details of the parent, you can use them to log in as the parent.

Logging in as a parent using Single Sign-On

If your school is using Single Sign-On (SSO), make sure the email address in your Single Sign-On method matches the one in the parent details page. To get there, go to the Data > Parents > Edit (pencil icon) page then check (for example) the Email Synced with Integris section. This section will be named differently, depending on the management system you use at your school. The login is handled by your SSO provider, all we do is route the user to the matching account in SchoolCloud.

Setting up a Payment Provider

Log into your system as an Administrator and click Settings on the coloured bar at the left hand side of the screen.

and then select Payment Settings in the list that appears.

This will load the available Payment Provider options (at the moment this is limited to PayPal, but more will be added in due course). Click the Enable box to begin the process of setting up your chosen provider.

PayPal

1) Go to the Settings page referred to above and click the Enable box for PayPalThen obtain your PayPal Client ID and Client Secret by following the steps below.

2) Go to the PayPal website and log in to your school’s PayPal Business account.

3) Once logged in, click on Developer in the top right to load the Developer page:

4) Once on the developer page, go to your name at the top right and then select Dashboard. This will load the My Apps & Credentials page. Click Live and then Create App. On the Create New App page enter a name for the app – this can be anything, but for ease of identification we suggest you use “SchoolCloud” – then click Create App

5) Once the app has been created you can copy the Client ID & Secret (you will need to click Show to view the Secret) and paste them into the Settings page referred to in step 1 above.

Your system is now set up to use PayPal and when parents book a Club or Event which carries a charge, they will be able to use PayPal to pay you.
