"It’s made everything so much easier and more organised. I can’t imagine going back to the old way of doing things."

Sara Andrew

Pontesbury CE Primary School

"With ParentPay, we have easily gained the benefits we thought we could at the outset. We have saved countless hours of time by no longer dealing with cash. Parents can access balances 24/7 and get text and email alerts; helping ensure school debt has gone from thousands to less than a hundred pounds most weeks."

"Another major benefit is the ability to have a clear record and audit trail of who has and hasn’t paid. This has made debt collection much easier and has resulted in reduced debt."

Principal

The Diamond Primary School

"Parents love it too. They can log in when ever they like, select as many items as they like, and make one single payment, it’s easy.We also use the system to collect income for our breakfast club. In future, we’d like to add other items as we become more familiar with all the system has to offer."
