The Academy is aiming to go cashless by October half term, removing the facility to use cash and cheques to pay for payment items such as dinner money, school trips and uniform etc. Payment items can be paid online using your credit or debit card through a secure website called ParentPay. ParentPay will be our preferred method of making payments to school.
How to get started with ParentPay
We have posted a letter with your account activation details, just follow the instructions in the letter we sent you to get started with ParentPay.
You will not be able to activate your account without an activation letter. If you have not received your letter please contact the school reception to get a copy immediately.
