As part of the transition to the the new school building in late 2016, Hampstead's Canteen transitioned to a cashless biometric payment system. Recently, there have a number of reports of students being denied certain items of food, or in some cases all of the items available, because they are incorrectly listed on the system as being unable to eat them.
Generally, students have been told to have their parents write to the school to rectify any mistakenly recorded dietary preferences. It is difficult to ascertain the exact frequency of such events, but if it turns out that dietary preferences will continue to be erroneously recorded in the future, it seems incumbent upon the school to undertake further steps to prevent it, and to the greatest extent possible, minimize its effects.
