ParentMail is the only fully integrated communication and payment service used by more than 5,000 schools to bring efficiencies and cost savings and improve parental engagement. We make it easy for schools to communicate to parents by e-mail and text messaging, and also to manage and collect payments from parents online for things like dinner money and school trips.

ParentMail 2 has recently been launched after a £1.5 million investment. Unlike other systems that expect parents to fit into what works for the school, the focus of ParentMail 2 has been about making it easier for parents to use – and most importantly, help them see and deal with school requests. This makes ParentMail 2 extremely valuable to schools.

A unique feature of ParentMail 2 for parents is its ability to link every school, nursery or club that their children attend into a single account. This makes it extremely valuable for parents, giving them one central place where they can see and deal with the many things they need to do while bringing up their children.

Primary, secondary, independent and nursery schools use ParentMail to send messages to parents quickly and efficiently. It also helps with other administrative work, such as collecting payments from parents online for trips and subscriptions, selling and administering tickets for events, managing subscription payments, making items available for parents to purchase and communicating pupil absence.

ParentMail 2 is web-based, so there’s no software to install or maintain and it will not conflict with other systems or networks that schools use.
