ParentPay is the only method of payment for school meals, snacks and school trips.
If you do not have your login details, have not used this system before or wish to discuss any aspect of it, please contact the finance office at financeoffice@stgeorges.herts.sch.uk or on 01582 765477.
Payments for School Meals and Snacks
You must ensure that your child has sufficient money on their ParentPay account at all times. ParentPay allows you to monitor your child’s daily spending as well as the meals they have eaten. To help you manage your ParentPay account, you can set a limit at which an automated email alert is sent to you. If your child has money in their account but not sufficient to purchase a lunch, they will be overdrawn and given a lunch. They will be told by the midday supervisor that they will need to get their account topped up otherwise they cannot purchase a school meal the following day. An email alert will be sent to you
Trips and Other Payments to School
Payments for bookable/ allocated school trips are visible in your ParentPay account and should be paid via ParentPay only. Payment items will not be shown on the home screen after the payment deadline has passed. However, you can retrieve your payment history by going to your Transaction History and selecting: > Name (of student) > Payment item > Date.
Free School Meals - Is your child eligible?
Your child could be eligible for free school meals if you are in receipt of certain benefits. It is now easier than ever for families to apply for free school meals, especially as applicants do not usually need to provide paper proof of benefit.
