Parent Pay

Click here to access ParentPay. ParentPay allows you to pay money directly into your child's account through an on line process thereby reducing the amount of money that your child needs to carry on a daily basis. This system will also be available for the payment of trips and visits. Each user has their own unique log in and password and you will be able to view the status of your child's account as well as any transactions made. Please note that there is a minimum transaction value of £3.00. If you require any further information on this please contact Mrs T Maynard in our Finance Department (tmaynard@greenswardacademy.org) on 01702 202571 ext 1207.
