Parent Pay


ParentPay logoPupils are not allowed to bring any cash into the Academy for reasons of security. We therefore operate a cashless catering system known as ParentPay.

This enables you to upload money onto your child’s account, either by payment online, or by PayPoint in any one of a number of local stores. It can take 2 or 3 days for your payment to register on our systems when paying by PayPoint so please bear this in mind if utilising PayPoint. Pupils will be able to check the balance on their account by swiping their identity cards at the till in the canteen. You will also be able to check the balance by looking at the catering section of your Edulink account, or by logging onto your ParentPay account.

 

Please Note - Data Handling & Protection

• ParentPay will never contact you by phone, email or mail and ask you to divulge confidential information like passwords or card numbers. If you are ever contacted by someone claiming to be from ParentPay, do not give them any information, report the call to Skinners’, and we will let ParentPay know.

• Certain data will be held on the system to enable accurate operation. This includes name, photo, account balance and meal entitlement. This data will be handled under the guidelines of the Data Protection Act and only used by parties directly involved with the implementation of the system.
