When creating your ParentPay account, it is a requirement to provide an email address which is used as your username. You will also have been required to set up your own password. It is important to keep your email address up to date so that you can continue to receive communications from your school(s) and organisations. The email address is also used if you need to change your password or log a support issue. Should your email provider ever change, it will be necessary to update your username.
Please note: ParentPay advise that you should use a personal email address rather than a corporate email address to minimise the loss of account access when moving jobs.
