ParentPay - our online payment service

We are using ParentPay to accept payments online for items such as dinner money, school trips and afterschool clubs. Using a secure website called ParentPay you will be able to pay online using your credit or debit card. ParentPay will be our preferred method of making payments to school. We no longer accept cash in school and any parents who are only able to pay by cash should a barcode which can be requested at the school office for trips etc. and request a paypoint card for school meals. Payments can then be made with cash (or card) at stores displaying the PayPoint logo.
