ParentPay
Page updated on: 01/04/2024
ParentPay is our nominated safe and secure system for you to pay for school meals. Using your ParentPay account you will be able to:
- pay for school meals and other items such as school trips, uniforms etc.
- pre-order meals (primary schools only)
- see the history of all the payments you have made
- create one account for all of your children
- receive receipts and automated reminders to top up your balance by email. Email reminders and receipts are free. You can receive reminders by SMS but there is a 6p charge per text for this service.
If you prefer not to pay online for school meals, you can top up your ParentPay account by cash at local convenience stores that display the PayPoint logo. The first card will be issued free of charge, if however you lose the card, a replacement card will be charged at £1.50.
You can only use your PayPoint card for school meal payments. If you wish to pay by PayPoint for school related items such as trips please contact your school so that they can provide you with a PayPoint letter which you can take to your local shop to make a cash payment.
PayPoint payments can take up to 36 hours to show in your ParentPay account.
