Catering

At the beginning of their school life at St. Aidan’s, students are issued with a swipe card. The card has an embedded smart chip and has many uses around school including working as a catering card, a library card, ID card during exams and operating access controlled doors.

The student is required to have the ID card in school at all times. The cost of a replacement card is £5.00 and should be ordered via your ParentPay account.

The preferred method of payment for catering is via ParentPay. Please email parentpay@staidans.co.uk for your activation codes or if you have any questions regarding your account.

Please top-up your child’s catering account by 9:30am to ensure cleared funds by lunchtime.

Trips

All trips are available on ParentPay and this is our preferred method of payment. ParentPay also provides a means of giving online consent.

Payments by cheque should be payable to St Aidan’s C of E High School and be placed in an envelope with your child’s name, form and trip clearly marked on the outside.  Cash payment is discouraged, if you need to pay by cash please contact the Finance Office. Receipts are available to view via ParentPay, as are outstanding balances. For any general queries relating to all school trips please contact Mrs McDonald via email.

Gift Aid

St. Aidan’s is an Academy and as such our Gift Aid Scheme continues to be absolutely essential to enable us to pay some of our building costs and maintain a high quality environment in the school. All parents of new students are invited to join the voluntary donations Scheme.
