Online payments

As the Academy is continually trying to improve services to our students and their parents, we are now using Parent Pay to enable parents to pay for food and trips directly, either on-line, on a mobile app or at pay points located in local shops. This will mean that we can avoid cash payments in school, which have previously given rise to a range of issues.

We can no longer accept payments by cash and cheque and all payments must now be through ParentPay.

For any issues regarding paying for your child’s trips or meals please refer to ParentPay's online FAQ. In addition you can contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

If, after paying through ParentPay the funds appear not to be readily available, please check you have finalised the transaction by ensuring the shopping basket is empty.
