* FCC uses a biometric cashless catering system to allow your child to pay for any purchases from the canteen. This system is a fast, efficient way of identifying students and eliminates the need to carry cash throughout the day. As Parents/Carers, you need to give consent for the school to use biometric information from your child to identify them. Biometrics is simply a method of identifying an individual. The data collected is an algorithm containing several measurements via a fingerprint scanner and not an actual fingerprint. This biometric information will only be used to pay for food at school and all data is held securely on site. This data cannot be used by any other agency for any other purpose. We adhere to the DfE advice. If you choose not to have your child registered, the school will provide alternative methods of identification. However, the preference of the school is to use biometrics, as this is more secure and faster than any other method of identification. Once your child comes off roll, their finger scan will be securely deleted.
