catering

Solihull MBC have awarded their cashless catering contact to Nationwide Retail Systems Ltd. The system will need to serve 67 Primary and Special School kitchens and will be made available to secondary schools / colleges, which may wish to adopt the system. The online payment system may also be adopted by the Council should it offer value for money against existing provision.

This is a brief statement of the Commissioner’s view on the use of biometric technologies in schools. Biometric technologies are those which automatically measure people’s hysiological or behavioural characteristics. Examples include automatic fingerprint identification, iris and retina scanning, face recognition and hand geometry, and their use is becoming increasingly common in both public and private sectors.

it is extremely unlikely that a usable fingerprint image could be generated (“reverse engineered”)

ParentMail +Pay is used by thousands of schools across the UK to improve parent engagement, collect parent payments and make substantial savings in money and time.
As a partner of Nationwide Retail Systems we make it easy for parents to top-up dinner money online via their ParentMail account rather than sending cash or cheques into school.
