Cashless payments
From 1 June 2026 the academy will be moving to a new cashless catering provider and, from this date onwards, cash payments will no longer be accepted to pay for meals and snacks.
ParentPay will continue to be the method by which parents and carers can pay for school meals. However, the cash revaluation machines currently located in school will be removed as we become a completely cash-free environment.
As cash will no longer be accepted after 1 June, we strongly encourage parents and carers who have yet to do so to sign up to ParentPay as soon as possible. This will enable you to continue to pay for your child’s meals and snacks.
At Queen Elizabeth’s Academy, we use a cashless payment system to make paying for school meals, trips and visits, etc easy and secure.
How to Make Payments
We use ParentPay, a trusted online payment system, to make it simple for parents and carers to manage school-related payments. You can make payments anytime, anywhere, using a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
When your child joins Queen Elizabeth’s Academy, you will receive login details and instructions on how to set up your ParentPay account. Once registered, you can manage payments through the ParentPay website.
For step-by-step guidance and answers to common questions, visit the ParentPay support page.
