ParentPay Information

ParentPay is a very secure website used by a high proportion of schools.

Jack Hunt School implemented ParentPay in October 2015 in order for parents/carers to have better oversight of the monies they are paying to the school; to have the option of paying by debit or credit card and to be able to make payments at a time of their choosing.  This helps the school by reducing the amount of cash on the premises.

Uniforms remain purchasable from Chromasports and Trophies

ParentPay holds an electronic record of your payments to view at a later date. Once you have activated your account, you can make online payments straight away.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school at info@jhs.pkat.co.uk during term time, if you need assistance.  

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add an additional account to my existing ParentPay login?

If you already have a ParentPay account, either with our school,  or another ParentPay school, you can simply login to that account and add your other children via the Add a child tab on your home page.  You will need an activation username and password to do this.  

How do I set up a ParentPay login?

You have a secure online account, activated using a unique activation username and password; you will be prompted to change these upon activation.  Your permanent username will be the e-mail address you supply upon activation.

If you have two or more children at a ParentPay school, you only need to activate one account to create your ‘main account’ and then add your other children via the Add a child tab on your home page.

Please visit www.parentpay.com and activate your account via the Account login area on the home page of the site.
