How to Use ParentPay for School Payments

Follow these simple steps to get started:

1. Activate Your Account

   • We will provide you with an activation letter with a username and password.
   • Visit ParentPay's website and click "Login."
   • Enter your details and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account.
   • If your current school uses Parentpay you can continue using your existing account and link them to Patcham High using the activation code in the letter..

2. Add a Child to Your Account

   • If you have multiple children at the same school, select "Add a Child."
   • Enter the activation details provided by the school for each child.

3. Making a Payment

   • Log in to your ParentPay account.
   • Navigate to the payment section and choose the item you wish to pay for.
   • Enter the amount and complete the transaction securely using your preferred payment method.  We recommend that you do not use the one click payment and select other payment as this is faster way of topping up. 

4. Checking Balances and Transactions

   • View available funds for school meals.
   • Check past payments and upcoming charges.

5. Setting Up Alerts

   • ParentPay allows you to set low balance alerts for school meals to ensure your child never runs out of funds.
