The short answer
What is the Riverside Academy school fees portal?
The Riverside Academy school fees portal is the official self-service account for parents and guardians. It shows each child's ledger-backed fee balance, payment history, statements and receipts, and sends email reminders. Guardian access is verified by the school before any fee information is shown.
- One parent account can hold several learners, enrolled in the portal or linked by admission number.
- Balances are calculated from a signed fee ledger, not typed by hand.
- Statements and receipts are generated as PDFs from the same ledger.
- Pay through the school's published Paybill, Till, bank or cash office channels.
What you can do
A clear fee account, for every child
Available on mobile, tablet and desktop.

Billed fees, confirmed payments, credits and adjustments are read directly from the signed fee ledger, never typed by hand.
Statements & receipts
Download a term statement, a year statement or the complete account history as a PDF, together with payment receipts.
Reminders that stop
Email reminders follow the school schedule and stop automatically once the balance reaches zero.
How it works
Three steps from registration to a clear balance
Register with your email
Register with the email address on record — no admission number needed. After signing in, add each learner in the parent portal.
Verify and get approved
Confirm your email address, then the accounts office verifies the guardian relationship. You receive an email when access is approved.
Review and pay
See balances, payment history and due dates, download statements, and pay through the school's authorised channels.
Payments
How do I pay school fees?
Always quote the account reference shown in the portal.
Use the payment channels authorised by the school: an M-Pesa Paybill or Till, a bank deposit, or the school cash office. The exact channel numbers and your child's account reference are shown after you sign in.
A payment is reflected in the fee account only after it is confirmed against the ledger. The portal never confirms a payment from an SMS alone, so keep your transaction reference and do not pay twice based only on a message.
Authorised channel types
- M-Pesa Paybill or Till
- Bank deposit or transfer
- School cash office
- Account reference shown after sign in
Pay through published channels
Use the Paybill, Till, bank or cash office channels shown after signing in. The fee account is credited only after the school confirms and reconciles the payment.
Security & privacy
Guardian access is verified, not assumed
Email verification first
Registering proves control of an email address. The school must still confirm that you are an authorised guardian of the learner.
Private by default
Unverified links return no fee information. Parents cannot see another family's account or edit financial records.
Role-based staff access
Clerks, accountants and administrators have different permissions. Every sensitive action is written to an audit log.
Secure documents
Statements and receipts are generated on request, require authentication and are never served from a public folder.
Common questions
Answers before you sign in
What is the Riverside Academy school fees portal?
It is the official online portal where parents and guardians of Riverside Academy can view a child's fee account, see payments and balances, download statements and receipts, and receive email reminders. Every balance is calculated from the school's signed fee ledger.
How do I register for the parent portal?
Open the portal, choose Create account and enter your name, email address, phone number and a password. Verify your email, sign in, then add each learner from the parent portal. New learners are enrolled with their details, and existing learners can be linked with an admission number. The school reviews every learner request before fee details become visible.
Do I need an admission number to sign in?
No. Parents sign in with their email address and password only. An admission number is a learner record detail: it is captured when the school enrols a learner or when you link an existing learner, and it is never used as a login credential.
How is the school fee balance calculated?
The balance is the sum of the signed ledger entries: opening balance plus fees charged, minus confirmed payments, plus reversals and adjustments, minus credits. The portal does not store a separate editable balance.
