ParentPay
ParentPay is a convenient and secure way to pay for College meals, trips, clubs and much more online. All Parents will receive an account once their child is registered with the College.
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.
You will have a secure online account, activated using a unique username and password; you will be prompted to change these, and to keep them safe and secure. If you have more than one child at our College, you can merge their accounts to create one login for all your children.
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.
We hope you will support us in achieving our goal to become a cashless College, so your support in using ParentPay will help the College enormously.
