Thumbprint Scanning
We now offer thumbprint scanning to complement our cashless payment system in the canteen. This supports our move to a single break time to ensure everyone is able to access the canteen quickly and efficiently. It is hoped we can offer several benefits;
- Less time queuing for food in the canteen
- Reduced cost of printing cards
- Reduced risk of losing cards
ParentPay and the systems we use to administer payments remain unchanged. We would like to reassure our parents and students that this is not mandatory and there will be an opportunity to opt out of the system. If you or your young person wishes to opt out of using thumbprint recognition, we will continue to operate the existing card system.
In order to comply with the provisions of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, we need written permission from a parent / carer in order for students to use the biometric systems. You can read our biometrics FAQ here and opt in to utilising biometrics here.
