Case Study: Holly Trees Primary School streamlines parent payments with SIMS Pay360 Education Payments

Moving parent payments online in primary education

Holly Trees Primary School wanted to make it easier for parents to pay for school items online and ensure those payments synced with its finance system. The school worked with SIMS and used Pay360 Education Payments alongside SIMS Dinner Money to modernize its parent payment process.

By implementing SIMS Pay360 Education Payments and SIMS Dinner Money, Holly Trees moved school trips, meals, and breakfast club payments online, reduced cash handling, and streamlined reconciliation. The school said it saves at least two to three hours each week, has improved debt management and parent communications, and can offer parents more convenient payment options, including instalments and alternative pay-in methods.
