Facial recognition technology for fast, contactless school meal transactions

Natalie McGillivary

Lymm High School is installing facial recognition technology to replace the current fingerprint method used to purchase items from our cashless cafeteria. This decision has been made in response to feedback about the lengths of queues at break and lunchtime. The new technology will help to speed up service at our six food serveries across the school site.

Please click here to read the full letter. We hope parents/carers can provide consent and complete this Facial Recognition Consent Form by Friday 26th April 2024.

 

Ofsted

Natalie McGillivary

As you know, we had another visit from Ofsted this week. We’re not allowed to say anything until the report is released in a few weeks’ time, but would like to thank parents and carers for their support.

The survey responses were incredibly positive and mean a great deal to us; thank you.

We should also say that students were a credit to you and themselves throughout the process.

We are planning to take a group of boys on a football tour to Spain in May 2025, departing on Thursday 1st May and returning on Sunday 4th May. The basic format of the trip consists of a 4-day tour to Salou in the Northeast region of Spain. A full programme of events is provided and is likely to include:

  • Two fixtures for each team
  • Tour of the Nou Camp Stadium
  • Full use of sports facilities at Futbol Salou Sports Complex with two Pro coaching experiences.

The tour is open to boys involved in school football who are currently in Years 7 and 8 (i.e., Years 8 and 9 next school year). To read the full details, click here.
