This system incorporates the latest biometric technology and eliminates the need for students to carry a lunch card as the system will recognise the finger/thumb of your child at the revaluation pay points and at the tills.

Biometric is simply a method of identifying an individual person. The Trust Cashless System uses and algorithm based scan, which reads between 50 and 130 points on the finger/thumb. It is not a fingerprint in any way, shape or form and is of use only in the Cashless System.

If you decide not to return the completed consent to us or choose not to have your child registered on the biometric system a 4-digit PIN Code will be allocated. Please note that PIN Codes do not have the same level of security and it will be your child’s personal responsibility to remember the code and keep it secure at all times.

If you change your mind about photos or Biometric at any time, you can inform us of this change by emailing us contactus@lightcliffeacademy.co.uk or in writing to our postal address.

If you have any questions about the consent you are giving, please do not hesitate to contact us or go to the Abbey Multi Academy Trust website to view our Privacy Notices.
