Uniform and Appearance
Our uniform supplier will be able to advise parents with regards to uniform availability and samples are available in store for sizing. Parents/carers can order with the stockist directly. It is advisable to visit the St Mary’s Road shop as they will be holding the samples. The London Road shop may not hold any samples for newer items.
St Hilda’s expects high standards of its pupils and uniform and appearance are no exception.

Parent Pay
St Hilda’s operates a cashless payment system in school.
On arrival at St Hilda’s your child will be issued with a plastic swipe card which will be used for a number of services in school. The card will be used as an identity card and to print, to access library resources and to purchase food from the school canteen. Students will also be able to use the biometrics system to purchase food. Each student will be issued with an individual card which will include their photograph.
St Hilda’s is completely cashless. This means that all school trips, books and catering in school must be paid for online, via the cashless payment system, ParentPay. You will receive a letter to activate your parent pay account before your child starts school in September. There are many advantages to using this system which are outlined in the ParentPay information sheet overleaf and on its website – www.parentpay.com
If your child is entitled to free school meals, their allowance is credited automatically to their account.
