Cashless Catering
We operate a cashless catering system in our school canteen which eliminates the need for pupils to carry cash throughout the day, thus reducing the risk of loss. Our till payment system is biometric, using your child’s thumb print on a scanner, meaning no special equipment, cards or cash need to be carried by children.
Any amount can be paid into the child’s account, and any money spent on food and drink will be deducted on a daily basis. Free school meal entitlements are automatically allocated daily. Please note that any monies not spent from the daily free school meal allocation will not be carried over to the next day.
Payment is to be made online via Parent Pay. Parent Pay should also be used to pay for school trips and other activities.
To comply with current legislation we operate an “Opt-In” policy meaning you must complete the Cashless Catering form in your Marshland High School Data Collection booklet. If you choose not to have your child registered on the Biometric System, a system generated 4-digit PIN code will be allocated. Please note that the PIN codes do not have the same level of security, and it will be your child’s responsibility to remember the code and keep it secure at all times. The school will not accept any liability for misuse of the PIN code.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Biometric? | A digital method of identifying an individual. In this case, a scan which reads between 50 & 130 points on the finger/thumb. It is not a fingerprint and is for cashless payment use only. |
