Heads welcome:

This is a school with exceptional character and warmth, that you can sense even as you walk down our drive. A school that sits at the heart of the community because community matters to us here. It is my vision that during the time of my Headship this school will continue to grow to be a truly inclusive and restorative organisation that strives to meet the needs of every individual. We are a diverse community of over 1500 students and staff who have built a school centred around excellent relationships and the desire to bring our very best each day.

The school provides break and lunch services through two dining areas, a pod and a food truck. The school expects the very best for its pupils so high food standards, consistent food variety and regular and meaningful communication with the successful contractor will be essential.

Admitted body status will be expected as there are some members of catering staff in the local government pension scheme.

The expectation for contractor investment will be minimal but proposals for improvement to the kitchen or dining facilities will be welcomed.
