Biometric System- used by students to pay for food and drink in school

This method removes the need to bring money to school and takes away the stigma attached to free school meals.  Parents are able to check lunch money is being spent correctly and monitor what their children are eating.  Biometrics removes the emphasis on students having to remember lunch cards and alleviates the chance of identity fraud.  Caterers enjoy even faster speed of service as students no longer have to search for swipe cards and administrative staff save valuable time by no longer having to issue new cards.

Biometrics and Security

The Biometrics system uses an image of a fingerprint to create a mathematical algorithm. The image of the fingerprint is destroyed and only the numbers remain; these cannot be reinterpreted back into a fingerprint image.  Students and Parents can therefore be rest assured that the fingerprint image is not retained and cannot be used by any other source for identification purposes.

Biometric Registration

Registration is quick and easy to complete.  New students are registered on the morning of their first day in the Academy so that by breaktime, they are able to purchase refreshments. 

If you have any queries about MCAS or our Biometric system please telephone or email our Finance Department 01737 551161, admin@oasiscoulsdon.org
