PARENTPAY – HOW TO TOP UP

We accept payments online for School meals, Visits, Maintenance & Revision Resources using a secure online service called ParentPay.  Please ensure you have received your activation details (Username & Password) to access your ParentPay account. You can check your account balance on ParentPay & top up funds by clicking here https://www.parentpay.com/  If you have 2 or more children at our school, you will need to merge their accounts into one simple log in, using one verified email address.

Alternatively, a PayPoint barcode letter or card can be ordered to do ‘top-ups’ in cash in local shops. To find a PayPoint retailer in your area, please click the following link https://consumer.paypoint.com/

Please check regularly that there are sufficient funds on your ParentPay account & allow at least one day for Internet transactions & two to three days for PayPoint transactions to be credited to your account. Please give your child any receipts you receive if you are unable to meet these timescales.

We can set a ‘daily spend limit/cap’ on your child’s account to ensure your funds are spent as expected.

If you require your activation details or a PayPoint barcode or have any queries, please call the Finance Team on Tel.020 8804 1906 Ext 103 or email finance@bishopstopfords.enfield.sch.uk
quoting your name, your child’s name & form/class.

Free School Meals & Pupil Premium

If your family receives certain benefits or is on a low income, your child could be eligible for a free school meal. It costs nothing to check & apply but could save you money.

Please check if your child is eligible for ‘Free School Meals / Pupil Premium on this Service’ www.fsm.lgfl.net  It is a web site where parents can quickly & easily check eligibility for free school meals &, if eligible, also gain welcome additional funding for their child’s school, known as ‘Pupil Premium’.

If eligible, you are not obliged to accept the free school meals for your child if you wish to make other arrangements, but we do want to encourage applications as the additional funding gained would still benefit education provision at the school.

For more information please visit https://new.enfield.gov.uk/services/children-and-education/school-welfare-and-information/school-meals/  or apply here https://new.enfield.gov.uk/services/children-and-education/school-welfare-and-information/free-school-meals-application-school-welfare-and-information.pdf

Please note a Free School Meal allowance is for food only up to the value of £2.50, this allows for a balanced lunch & dessert. Please supply your child with a drink each day & extra snacks if wanted.

On the days that our school is due to close early for a half day, your child can collect their Free School Meal allowance during morning break time.
