If your child’s school makes use of the ParentPay booking service, you will be able to book your child’s meals and/or event places in advance of the session. This helps the school minimise food waste, and reduce administrative burden on the school staff.
To check whether your child’s school uses the booking feature, select the child you wish to view. The bookings option will be available in the left side menu (or in the menu drop down if using a mobile device).
