We are delighted to inform you that we have signed up to the online payment system SchoolMoney.  This means that you will now have the facility to make payments for school expenses, such as school meals and trips, online with your debit or credit card or via PayPoint.  No more hassle scrambling for money on a Monday morning!!

SchoolMoney is secure and safe. Not only will you be able to pay for items from the comfort of your own home but you will also be able to access your account at any time to see if there is anything you need to pay for.

You won’t need to sign up to this system as this is done automatically through the school and as long as you have provided us with up to date contact details you will receive your password via text.  This password will give you access to your SchoolMoney account where you can pay for any items we have requested.  Just click the link to complete sign up.  If you would like more than one parent to have access, please contact the office to add additional parents/grandparents.  Please contact the school office if you change any contact details.

TO LOG ON TO SCHOOL MONEY:

1. Go to www.eduspot.co.uk

2. Click on the ‘Sign In’ button in the top right hand corner.

3. In the drop down, select the ‘SchoolMoney Parent Login’ option

4. Enter your mobile number, email address, the password we sent to you, and your child’s first name (full spelling).

5. Or go to direct by clicking here: School Money Link

Please contact the school office if you have any queries regarding this.

PayPoint offers you the option to pay in local shops with cash via a Barcode that will be provided by school. If you’d like to find your local PayPoint shop please visit consumer.paypoint.com , enter your postcode and it will provide you details of your local providers.

The closest PayPoint to Hill Croft School would be Co-Op Beverley Shops, Spar Manse Road and New Mossley newsagents.

There are times when things get tough and Newtownabbey Foodbank are there to help! If anyone needs access to the Foodbank I can refer using the Foodbank Vouchers- please just ask!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.

The most important step is to get a foodbank voucher.

In order to provide the most appropriate help for the circumstances of your situation we work with local agencies. If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher. The local agency can also provide long term support if needed to help address some of the issues behind the reasons for your crisis.

Agencies we work with include:

Community Advice (CAAN) - 02895906505

Advice NI - 0800 915 4604

Local MLA and MP offices

Local Councillors

Women's Aid - 02825 632136

Abbey Sure Start - 02890 860938

St Vincent D Paul - 02890 351561

Cancer Lifeline - 02890 351999

1. Get in touch with us.

If you call or email our foodbank we can talk through your situation and put you in touch with a relevant local agency.

2. Arrange a visit to the referral agency.

They will discuss your situation and supply you with a foodbank voucher where appropriate, either as a physical red voucher or an "e-voucher" code.

3. Bring your foodbank voucher to your nearest foodbank centre.

You can find a list of our local centres and opening times here. When you arrive, you'll receive a warm welcome and our volunteers will chat with you about your situation. We'll also discuss any dietary needs you may have and exchange your foodbank voucher for a parcel of three days of emergency food. We'll also help to support you in any other ways that we can. Our aim is to provide non-judgemental support at the point of crisis.

If you have any further questions our FAQ's page may help, or feel free to give us a call.
