Parent Pay

St. Edmund's Catholic Primary School is a cashless school, and we kindly ask that all parents  use our e-payment method to pay for school dinners, trips and all other school related purchases through ParentPay.

ParentPay offers you the freedom to make payments whenever and wherever you like 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - safe in the knowledge that the technology used is of the highest security available. You will have a secure online account, activated using a unique username and password, which will first provided by school.

Once first accessed, you will be prompted to change this information, and to keep it safe and secure. If you have more than one child at our school, or children at another ParentPay school, you can create one single account login for all your children regardless of which school they attend.

Making a payment is straightforward and ParentPay holds a payment history for you to view at a later date; no card details are stored in any part of the system. Once you have activated your account you can make online payments straight away.
