Since October 2014, we have been using the online payment facility, Parentpay, for payment of dinner money, trips etc in an effort to make payment of these items easier for parents/carers and also making the school a cash-free environment.

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. 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. You will receive an email receipt of your payments to the email address you register and the facility also offers you the ability to set automated email/text payment reminders.
