How do I get started?

When your child starts at our school, we will send you an activation letter containing your activation details to enable you to set up your ParentPay account.

If you have more than one child at a ParentPay school(s), you can add them to a single account, providing one login for all children at ParentPay schools.  ParentPay is used in all Perth & Kinross schools including secondary schools.

More information can be found on the ParentPay website www.parentpay.com, or alternatively contact the School Office.  Below is a link to a ParentPay Guide which can help you get started once you have received your activation letter.
