Parent Mail and Parent Pay

ParentMail is a service for schools to help communicate with and collect payments from parents.  Registering with or logging into ParentMail is usually straight-forward and we recommend parents download the free ParentMail App onto their smart phones. Doing this means you won’t need to search through busy inboxes for schools messages or have to remember login details.  When your child joins our school you will receive an email with the information about how to create your account and log in.

ParentMail allows parents to receive communications from the school and is our means of collecting payments for school dinners, trips and many other things.
