Biometrics Across the College Lunch arrangements We are proud to say that All Hallows Catholic College is cashless! We have teamed up with Innovate, our catering partners and ParentPay, to create a cashless restaurant. Students and staff use either their biometric print or a 6-digit PIN number to purchase meals in the restaurant. This is convenient, safe and fast, helping us to make sure that all students can make the most of their breaks, instead of spending time queuing. Parents/Carers will top up their child’s ParentPay account through the ParentPay website. The system is very user friendly and payments sent online are received in College instantly. We also use the ParentPay website for trip payments (see next page). Students can purchase a meal which suits their individual requirements. Portions are individually priced and a meal deal may be purchased for £2.45. Students may bring a packed lunch and dining facilities are made available for them. All Year 7 to 11 students stay on the College site, without exception, at lunchtimes.
Biometrics — Printing & Cashless Payments The College uses biometrics for its ‘Follow Me Printing’ system and for cashless payments in the College Shop and Restaurant. Each child will be registered with your consent. If you do not consent to your child’s biometric data being taken, they will be issued with a PIN which they can use to pay. The system uses an image of the fingerprint to create a mathematical algorithm and then discards the fingerprint. Only the numbers remain and these cannot be reinterpreted back into the fingerprint. Follow Me Printing Students and staff use their biometric print or PIN number to collect their printing from any of the printers located around the College. It is linked to their computer account and allows them to print anywhere and at any time in the College. We use this system to help monitor and reduce waste printing in the College. Free College Meals If your child is entitled to a free meal, their entitlement will automatically transfer to this College. Their ParentPay account will be topped up automatically each day with the FSM entitlement - £2.45 at present. 28 ...Governors ...Cashless Catering and Trustees and Parent Pay
