ParentPay

We enable all parents to top-up their child’s dinner money account using an electronic payment system. The system removes the need for your child to bring cash to school, the money you add can only be spent by them in school, and you can see exactly what they are eating in our canteens.

Payments can be made online using a secure website called ParentPay, or at local stores where you see the PayPoint logo.
