What is ParentPay?
We use the ParentPay system to manage payment for school meals and other chargeable services online. This system allows for the cashless operation of our canteen and makes arranging payments for trips or other services (payments for school dances, photographs, sports kit etc.) considerably easier for parents.
ParentPay offers parents/carers the freedom to make payments whenever and wherever, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – safe in the knowledge that the technology used is of the highest internet security available.
How do I register for ParentPay?
Parents/carers of our new S1 pupils and any other pupil that is new to our school will receive information about registering as part of our welcome pack. The activation letter will ask parents to create a secure online account, activated using a unique ‘myaccount’ username and password. ‘myaccount’ is a free and secure sign-in service for accessing public services online in Scotland. Parents who have children in nursery, primary and secondary school can create a single account login for all their children.
What are the advantages of using ParentPay?
ParentPay holds a payment history for users to view at a later date; no card details are stored in any part of the system. Once users have activated their account, they can make online payments straight away.
Does ParentPay have an app?
Please note there is currently no app available for making payments or booking through ParentPay. Users can add a ParentPay icon to their mobile device, allowing easy access to the payer pages in order to complete top-ups, payments and bookings.
