Enfield Grammar School operates as a cashless school through our partnership with ParentPay, which is a safe, secure and convenient online payment facility. It is through this facility that you can pay for your son’s school meals, trips, ticketed events, clubs, fundraising opportunities and more. The ParentPay system has been designed from the ground up to work great on tablets and phones as well as desktop computers.

**Please note, your son’s lunch account should be maintained in credit at all times. Please set a low balance alert to avoid the account going into debt. We are unable to advance money to students who have insufficient funds on their account. In such situations your son will be supplied a basic sandwich and a piece of fruit for one day only, after which parents are asked to provide a packed lunch for their son.**
