“Make every school day easier” What is it that ParentPay Group is able to offer? ParentPay provides tools that simplify every aspect of school life – from your MIS, finances and parental engagement, to secure payments, reading engagement and easy and safe meal ordering. We know schools are under pressure. Our solutions are about giving teams time back – whether that’s more time for teachers to focus on learning, cutting the admin burden for the school office or giving school leaders the insights they need to make informed decisions. How do you help leaders make informed decisions? Our solutions transform data into actionable insights. From attendance and behaviour, to SEND and staff absence, we can help you spot trends, drill down in detail and make evidence-based decisions. Our intuitive dashboards and reports provide school leaders with a simple, yet smart way of improving pupil outcomes. For MATs, we can also deliver aggregated insights with school-level drill-downs to provide both the bigger picture and essential details on the ground, enabling you to pinpoint specific trends and areas for improvement.

Q&A Alistair Gates explains how ParentPay Group is on a mission to help schools reclaim their team’s time... perform all of their main daily tasks in one place. That includes taking the register, awarding conduct points and accessing key pupil information (such as attendance, SEND and medical information, and key indicators for EAL and Pupil Premium students). Teachers can access a pupil’s profile directly from Class View for more detailed information, and will soon be able to message parents in our app directly via SIMS too. How are you seeking to make life easier for parents and carers? Parents are already spinning so many plates, the last thing they need is more complexity. We offer auto-top up and pre-booking for easy school meal selection, and the widest range of payment options available. Single basket check out means they can pay for everything in one app, even if their children are at different schools. Our single app, coming soon, will let them manage messages, clubs, trips, timetables and payments, all in one place. Are these solutions secure and easy to use? Yes – and with cyber-attacks in education rising, that matters. We have been independently rated as market-leaders in cyber and data security, and have a team of experts on hand who keep schools safe 24/7. Our cloud-based solutions are intuitive and accessible, so that school teams and parents can start using them straight away – meaning fewer calls to the school office, and more time back for your teams.
