As a registered food business, the School complies with all aspects of food safety legislation including "Natasha's Law" which relates to the provision of information about allergens.

All dining customers, including pupils, parents, staff and visitors are able to access allergen information on all loose foods (those not in a labelled packet) supplied by the School.

Which allergens are reported? Cereal containing gluten, fish, peanuts, soya, crustaceans, sulphur dioxide, (tree) nuts, milk, celery, egg, mustard, sesame, lupin, molluscs.

Where can I find this information? Information folders will be maintained in each dining room and servery. Other items served elsewhere will have lists with them or nearby for reference. The School website also includes detailed allergen reporting with the menus, and a revised Allergy and Dining Policy.

What does this mean for me? All those consuming food within the School are encouraged to ask for information on any item served. The School also requires anyone bringing in “homemade” food items for events such as cake sales and birthdays to provide the appropriate allergy information.

Where can I find further information or guidance? Please visit the Food Standards Agency website. Should you have any further questions, please contact the School Office.

NO NUTS, LUPIN FLOUR OR KIWI FRUIT IN SCHOOL OR AT EVENTS OR ON SCHOOL TRIPS 

All nuts (peanuts and all types of tree nut), lupin flour and kiwi fruit and items made from these ingredients, are banned from the School, including in packed lunches to be consumed in School or at events or on trips.

If your child is in year 5 or above, you are required to give your consent via our Pupil Information Form to enable us to set up your son or daughter with a cashless catering account using biometric information for identification purposes in the Live Register system, ready for their start at Claires Court.

If you object to the use of biometric information for this purpose then we will provide your son or daughter with a four-digit pin code for use as an alternative at the point-of-sale. 

Please Note

Your consent relates to the use of biometric information only as a catering account is set up for all pupils on the School roll. If you intend to provide your child with a packed lunch (and therefore do not want your son or daughter access to their catering account at break or lunch times) then please contact our Domestic Bursar who can tailor an account to meet individual requirements.

Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (sections 26 to 28), we are required to notify each parent of a child and obtain the written consent of at least one parent before being able to use a child’s biometric information for an automated system. You should also note that the law places specific requirements on us when using personal information, such as biometric information, about pupils for the purposes of an automated biometric recognition system. For example:

• we cannot use the information for any purpose other than cashless catering without first obtaining your consent to do so;
• we must ensure that the information is stored securely;
• we must tell you what we intend to do with the information;
• unless the law allows it, we cannot disclose personal information to another person/body – you should note that the only person/body that we wish to share the information with is Live Register. This is necessary in order to establish, commission and maintain the Live Register system.

Even if you have consented, your child can object or refuse at any time to his/her biometric information being taken/used. His/her objection does not need to be in writing. We would appreciate it if you could discuss this with your son/daughter and explain to him/her that he/she can object to this if he/she wishes.

You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to the school.

Once your child ceases to use the biometric recognition system, his/her biometric information will be securely deleted by the School at the beginning of the academic year.

Your child’s details are registered on our ‘Live Register’ system.

For Pupils In Years 4 And Below

We use the photograph held within the school database as identification for payment at the till. Pupils’ photographs are taken on their first day and annually every autumn.

For Pupils In Years 5 And Above

Payment will be authorised through the Live Register system using biometric information taken from the scanned image of an individual’s finger which generates a unique digital signature for identification purposes. This image is not stored and cannot be used by any other system.

Pupils’ fingers will be scanned on their first day and thereafter whenever necessary.

Parents ‘credit’ their account with funds for school meals via the Payment Portal .

For food and spend limit queries please email the Domestic Bursar or if you wish to make immediate changes 01628 327371.

For Finance related queries in terms of Payment Portal and or Passwords please email the Finance Office. Please remember to keep your account in credit.

That’s fine as we can restrict individual items. This applies to any service and by restricting items steers them into the remaining choices.

Done!

Yes. We can put a message on the screen when they put their thumb on the reader to remind them and for the cashier to check the product they are trying to buy.  However we cannot be held responsible unfortunately if the child chooses to ignore this at the time. 

Just let us know what your limits are and we can do it

Just let us know what your limits are and we can do it

Please remember to increase your limit as we do not take it for granted when they get older and or their interest in activities increase.
