Dear Parent/Carer

𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦

To enable your child to benefit from the ‘Cashless System’ in School, we require the consent of at least one parent in order that the biometric information of your child can be processed.  Please be assured that this information remains within the School and that the biometric information taken is an algorithm and not the actual thumbprint.

If you choose not to have your child registered, the School will provide alternative methods of identification such as a 4-digit PIN code or Smart Card. The preference of the School is to use biometrics, as this is a more secure and faster method of identification than any other and we appreciate your co-operation concerning this matter.

Could you please therefore complete and sign the electronic version of the form and press send to return it to the school.

𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Due to Covid-19 restrictions your son/daughter will be issued with a fob. This, for the time being, will be the means by which the ‘Cashless System’ will operate within the School. Only at the time when the Government say it’s safe to do so, will we operate the biometric thumbprint method of cashless payment.

Yours sincerely
 

Mr. P Kelly
Headteacher
