Making secure payments online using your debit or credit card

All parents have a secure online account, and we urge you to activate it as soon as you receive your activation code.

If you have lost your account details, or you are a new parent to the school, then please contact receptiongre@e-act.org.uk with the subject as ParentPay.

Once you activate you account you can change your password.

If you have more than one child at our school, you can merge their accounts to create one log-in.

Making a payment is straightforward and ParentPay holds a payment history to view at a later date; no card details are stored in the system. As soon as you activate your account you can make online payments

Making secure payments by cash at your local paypoint stores

You can pay by cash by taking your original activation letter and payment to your local PayPoint Store.

PayPoint payments are recorded by ParentPay in the same way as online payments and may be seen in your payment history under ‘My accounts’.

In this way, the school will have an automatic record of any payments that have been made.

Please be aware that it may take a few days for a PayPoint payment to be transferred.
