Edstart handles the entire fee management process; five minutes for families to sign up, full term’s fees paid to your school on time. We look after the rest.
Here’s how it works.


Families set up an Edstart account and choose from a range of payment options that best suit their needs.
Upload family invoices online and we’ll process everything from there – no awkward conversations, no internal assessment process.
Your school receives fee payments on an agreed schedule, regardless of how or when families pay us back. Your cash flow is protected from day one.
“With the obvious financial pressures on parents and schools, both need a flexible payments model that is trusted, digital, fair, easy to use and simple to manage. That is exactly what Edstart delivers for parents and schools alike.”
Nigel Slater, Bursar at John Lyon School

Family account health – clearly see how families’ payments are progressing through the year
From onboarding through to reconciliation, our team is alongside yours; managing family accounts, handling sensitive conversations, and keeping your finance team in the loop.
Families get a dedicated, local Edstart team focused on making school payments as seamless as possible – year after year.

Edstart’s simple sign up takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Families are able to create their own customised payment plan with no paperwork required.
Families manage their payments through Edstart and can contact our team any time. If circumstances change, our team works through it with the family – so your staff aren’t managing the conversation.
