Year 6-7 Transition
Welcome to St Hilda’s
Thank you for choosing St Hilda’s as the next stage in your child’s education. Below is all the information you need to help with your child’s transition.
- Year 7 New Parent/Carer Evening – Tuesday 30th June 2026We are very much looking forward to welcoming our new parents and carers on Tuesday 30 June 2026. This event is an opportunity for us to formally welcome you into the St Hilda’s community. You will have the chance to meet your child’s new form tutor, members of the pastoral team, and senior school leaders.
This information evening is for parents and carers only. You will be meeting your child’s form tutor and Head of House, so we kindly ask that children do not attend if possible. We will be in touch closer to the date to confirm the timings.
Year 7 Induction Day – Wednesday 1st July 2026
We are excited to meet your child at our Year 7 Induction Day on Wednesday 1 July 2026. The purpose of the day is to warmly welcome them to St Hilda’s and support a smooth transition into Year 7 in September. Throughout the day, students will meet their form tutor, key staff, and begin to familiarise themselves with the school environment.
Students should attend in their primary school uniform and, ideally, bring a packed lunch and a water bottle. Break-time snacks will be provided. They should also bring a school bag, as they will receive some resources to take home.
We will contact you nearer the time with full details of the day’s schedule.

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.
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.
