--- title: "ParentPay and School Gateway" url: "https://thekingswayschool.com/parents/parentpay" school: "The Kingsway School" --- # ParentPay and School Gateway ### ParentPay and School Gateway We use two cashless online systems for items such as dinner money and visits. These are secure websites/apps called [**School Gateway**](https://login.schoolgateway.com/0/auth/login) (for visits and other items) and [**ParentPay**](https://app.parentpay.com/public/client/security/v5/#/login) (for dinner money), where you can pay online using your credit/debit card. As the school office cannot accept cash, these apps are our preferred method for parents/carers to make payments to the school. Additionally, on ParentPay, parents can track their child’s spending and food choices online. Students pay for their food using a biometric (fingerprint imaging) system. The fingerprint images cannot be used by any other source for identification purposes. The system uses the image of the finger to create a unique number to identify students. The fingerprint image is then discarded. The unique number cannot be reinterpreted back into a fingerprint image. ### What are the benefits to parents/carers and students? - These apps are easy-to-use and will offer you the freedom to make online payments whenever and wherever you like, 24/7. - The technology used is of the highest internet security available ensuring that your money will reach school safely – offering you peace of mind. - Payments can be made by credit/debit card online or also through PayPoint. - Full payment histories and statements are available to you securely online at any time. - Your child will not have to worry about losing money at school. - ParentPay allows parents/carers to view their child’s purchases at the canteen. --- ### ![](https://thekingswayschool.com/images/gallery/payments/ParentPayLogo_300x76.png) ### How do I use ParentPay?
