Parent Pay
ParentPay is an online, web based payment system for parents/carers, which allows you to upload funds to your child’s school account in a flexible, efficient and secure manner. The funds can be used to pay for school meals, trips, or student resources such as revision guides.
ParentPay offers you the freedom to make payments whenever and wherever you like, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – safe in the knowledge that the technology used is of the highest internet security available. It also ensures that dinner money is spent in the school canteen and not in shops on the way to or from school. ParentPay also removes any potential issues associated with students bringing money into school i.e. losing the funds.
Making a payment is straightforward and ParentPay holds an electronic record of your payments to view at a later date; no card details are stored in any part of the system. The system also allows parents/carers to view online details of their child’s purchases.
Parents/carers activate their accounts using activation codes obtained from the academy. Any parent/carer who does not currently have an account (or who has lost/forgotten their previous login details) but wishes to utilise this facility should contact: [email protected] to request activation codes and log in details. In your email you will need to provide the following information:
- Student full legal name
- Student date of birth
- Year and tutor group
You will then receive an activation letter with the necessary login details.
Please note that Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy still accepts cash/cheque payments for school trips, education resources etc., however students are unable to pay cash for their lunch on site or credit their account via the cash loader machines, the machines are no longer in operation as of September 2026.
