ParentPay

At Barley Fields Primary we use a secure online payment system known as ParentPay, an online banking system that allows all money transactions to be made securely and cashless. 

How do I get started?

Our school office can provide you with an activation letter containing your activation details to enable you to set up your ParentPay account.

If you have more than one child at a ParentPay school/s you can add them to a single account, providing one login for all children at ParentPay schools.

More information

More information can be found on the ParentPay website, alternatively contact the school Business Manager – Christine Hoyle on 01642 767051.
