Parent Pay
ParentPay is an online payment system for schools. It allows parents to pay quickly and securely for school meals, trips and activities, uniforms, music lessons and fees.
Look out for a letter containing activation details, which will be sent early September
Once you are up and running you can:
View your balance, top up online with debit or credit card, set up a standing order or faster payment* or pay by cash through PayPoint
Get alerted by text or email if your balance gets low or when you have something new you can pay for like a school trip or out of school clubs, lessons or other activities.
Request daily spend limits, your school can set a sensible daily limit so your child can only spend what you’re aware of – especially useful in a secondary school canteen.
Payments are received safely by the school, meaning you do not have to send your child to school with cash again, money doesn’t get lost and is spent on its intended purpose
