How to Book a Top Up Activity

Only activities which are applicable to your child’s year group will be visible to you in MCAS.  

Externally-run top up activities (Gymnastics, Scrumys, Speech & Drama, Judo and Tennis) will show as having a price of ‘Free’.  This is because payment must be made directly to the provider and not to Waverley as per the ‘Waverley Clubs’ booklet.  However, it is important that you book these clubs via MCAS too so that we know your child will attend.  

 

Booking a top-up activity via the MCAS app

  1. Click on the ‘My Child’ home screen.
  2. Navigate to the ‘Specialist Clubs with a Top-Up Fee’ section.
  3. Click ‘View Details’ of the session which you wish to book.
