Positive Feedback The pupils like the idea of carrying the card and the functionality that it provides;

Pupils don’t have to carry cash, which has a number of knock-on benefits e.g. less cash lost, less bullying for money etc.;

Within the canteen, the queue through the till is quicker, with money and stock being easier to count and monitor.

In addition, School Principals have said that the feedback from parents has been positive.


Not so Positive Feedback The main issue is card breakages and pupils losing or forgetting their cards.

Some schools have had more success than others in addressing and overcoming this issue.
