Parent Pay

ParentPay – our new online payment service

We’re pleased to inform you that the school has the facility to accept online payments for school meals, trips and other school activities. Using a secure website called Parentpay you are able to pay online using your credit or debit card.

Within Parent Pay you are able to access the extended facilities which allow parents to view the catering menu offers week by week, and to also view what your son/daughter has purchased each day.  You are also able to view trip payments and balances and set reminders if you are paying in instalments for any of your purchases.

Parentpay is easy-to-use and  offers you the freedom to make online payments whenever and wherever you like, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week  – safe in the knowledge that the technology used is of the highest internet security available and that funds will reach school safely.

Parents have a secure online account, activated using a unique username and password; making a payment using your credit or debit card is straightforward and no card details are stored on the system or are accessible by the school or Parentpay. Parentpay holds an electronic record of all online payments for you to view at a later date.  When you make a payment, an e-mail confirmation is sent to you, giving you reassurance that the transaction has been successful.

In addition, Parentpay offers you the ability to set automated email/SMS reminders ensuring you never miss a payment.
