Biometric Consent Information Required For New Cashless Catering System

Dear Parent/Carer

After Easter, we will be moving to a new cashless catering provider to align with other schools within the Trust.  I will send further details about this change nearer the time, and until Easter, you will continue to use the current payment system, sQuid.

In readiness for the move to the new payment system, you will need to complete a biometric consent form to enable us to use your child's fingerprint for cashless catering and so you can add money to their payment account online. You do not have to provide consent to biometric data being taken; we can issue your child with a card that they must retain and keep safe and which you can top up in person at a local paypoint.

Our biometric policy can be found here https://academy-sites-files.outwood.com/policy/18/file/b306214d42ac598c88b4c48002244cba.pdf

The form for you to complete is here https://forms.gle/W6bHkmVFuMDzmWhA6

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the academy.

Yours sincerely

Mrs L Taylor

Business Manager
