Online payments to school with ParentPay!

We have introduced a more convenient way to pay for school meals and other school payment items using a secure service called ParentPay

We are working towards no longer accepting cash and cheque payments, making the school a cash-free environment.  All school meals must be paid via ParentPay.

 

Making secure payments online using your credit or debit card.

ParentPay offers you the freedom to make 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.

You will have a secure online account, activated using a unique username and password; you will be prompted to change these, and to keep them safe and secure.  If you have more than one child at our school, or children at other ParentPay schools, you can create a single account login for all your children.

Making a payment is straightforward and ParentPay holds a payment history for you to view at a later date; no card details are stored in any part of the system. Once you have activated your account you can make online payments straight away.

 

Taking cash by PayPoint.

PayPoint payments are recorded by ParentPay and can be seen by logging into your ParentPay account and viewing your payment history online. The nearest PayPoint stores to school are Ring Newsagents, Broster Stores and Ruby Newsagents

Please notify the School Office if you wish to use the PayPoint facility. A plastic card will be issued to you to make cash payments for school meals at local PayPoint stores. The first card is free of charge; however, any lost or damaged cards will be charged at £10 each.  Payment cards take about two weeks to arrive, but we can issue a barcode letter as an interim measure. 

Trip and activity information letters will carry a unique barcode which will allow you to make cash payments at your local PayPoint store.

We hope you will support us in achieving our goal to become a cashless school and reduce the workload on our staff. Your support in using ParentPay will help the school enormously, thank you.
