ParentPay helps schools reduce administration, manage payments and improve efficiency.

ParentPay makes collecting money for school items quicker and more efficient. It creates a secure online audit trail that allows schools to provide financial information and access detailed breakdowns quickly and accurately and allows parents to see at a glance their child’s account e.g. school meal balance, current trips etc.  It also reduces the risk of cash/cheques being lost or misplaced.

ParentPay makes collecting dinner money easy:

• Payments are automated and visible
• Payment reminders and alerts are sent directly to parents
• ParentPay increases take-up of free school meals and promotes social inclusion – eligible children are no longer differentiated from other pupils.

We also accept payments for:

• Extra-curricular lessons and school activities
• Exam fees
• School trips, plays, productions and events.

ParentPay improves communication and parental engagement:

• Parents can fill in forms and give consent online
• Alerts, notifications and payment reminders are automated so that parents know when they need to top up.
