What else is changing for parents?

Based on your feedback, we’re planning a range of improvements and new features to make paying by ParentPay quicker, easier and more convenient.
January/February 2016
Simplifying Login
Soon you’ll need to use an email address as your username.
Towards the end of January, if you need to switch your username to an email address, you will be prompted when you login – just follow the on-screen instructions.
The email address must be verified, helping with security and making it easier to reset a forgotten password.
If you already have a registered email address linked to your Account, you’ll have the option to use it as your username or choose an alternative email address.

 
New ParentPay.com website
We’re making major improvements to the ParentPay website, making it easier for parents to access a dedicated support area with FAQs and lots of useful tips.
From Feb/March 2016

You’ll be able to move money between children and different items and refunds from school will credit immediately back to ‘My Account’for you to use for something else.
‘My Account’leads the way for us to introduce new ways for parents to pay.
