Your Parent Account enables you to maintain a balance within ParentPay which speeds up the process of making payments for items such as dinners or trips. There may be occasions where it is necessary to make a withdrawal from your Parent Account, such as when a high value school trip is refunded, or when you no longer have a child attending a ParentPay enabled school.
Parent Pay
We use Parent Pay to manage our online cashless catering payments system. Activation letters have been sent home to all parents.
Here at The Ellesmere Port C of E College, our catering service is completely cashless. Moving away from the previous service of Students bringing cash into the building, we feel this new system is safer and helps remove the stigma for free school meal Students.
