To provide a faster and more efficient service to our parents we would like to remove all cash from school. Using the ParentPay system you can pay for all school services quickly and safely via a debit or credit card. You are also able to receive notifications from the school via email. You can use ParentPay on any PC, laptop, tablet or mobile phone.
To sign up for ParentPay you will need an activation letter from the school and an email address. If you do not have an email address you can get one for free from Google.
On the activation letter you will see: USERNAME: your username PASSWORD: your password.
If you have not received this letter please contact us for another copy, the best way to do this is by email to: parentpay@frederickbird.coventry.sch.uk
To activate your account:
- Navigate to www.parentpay.com
- Select Login at the top right corner of the screen
- Enter the username and password provided in your account activation letter and select Activate
- Enter your contact details as requested on the screen.
- That’s it you’re done!
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.
If you do not have Internet access at home; via a PC or mobile device then you will still be able to access the Parent Pay system using the kiosk in the school entrance from January 2018. Please note there may be a queue to use this service at peak times.
If you do not have a debit or credit card you can still pay for school services at local shops with the PayPoint barcode that is included on the activation letter. You will need a new barcode for each type of payment (lunch, trips, etc) you make to the school but can still check your account online.
If you require an additional login for other family members to log in and make payments please email: parentpay@frederickbird.coventry.sch.uk.
The following guides are provided by Parent Pay for common queries.
If you have any other questions or problems please email parentpay@frederickbird.coventry.sch.uk for advice or ask at the school office.
