ParentPay
ParentPay is a secure system used in many schools around the country. It allows parents to monitor and top-up their child’s account, and to also pay for trips. You will find lots of information about ParentPay on this page. For further information if you have any problems, please do not hesitate to contact the school via email at parentpay@whitefield.barnet.sch.uk
Whitefield School has a cashless catering system for all year groups that links with ParentPay, enabling parents to view their child’s account and make online payments for school lunches, trips and other activities.
We encourage students not to borrow money from staff or other students; Please ensure that your child’s account is always topped up to avoid an embarrassing or difficult situation for both students and staff.
