parentpay

At The Brooksbank School parents can make payments for most things online using ParentPay.

ParentPay offers you the freedom to make payments whenever and wherever you like 24-7, safe in the knowledge that the technology used is the highest internet security available.

Your family has a secure online account, which can be accessed with a unique user ID and password. You can change these to something you will easily remember. ParentPay enables you to view all items available to each of your children along with relevant costs and details.

For topping up diner money accounts and paying for trips, etc., you will need to log onto the ParentPay website using your user ID and password.

When you log onto the site you will see your child’s account. Making a payment is easy. You simply select the item to pay and follow the instructions to complete your payment. You can pay for multiple items during a single online session. ParentPay holds an electronic record of your payments to view at a later date should you wish. No card details are stored in any part of the system.
