The Sheffield South East Trust is leading a city wide collaborative initiative to deliver a new, shared catering service across Sheffield schools from September 2027. By working in partnership, we will unlock economies of scale that deliver greater value and shared benefit. This network brings together schools of all sizes and settings inner city and rural alike bound by a shared commitment to excellence. Our holistic, inclusive approach is designed to enhance learning and secure lifelong outcomes for every pupil in our care. We recognise that collective action delivers far more than working in isolation: together, we build stronger foundations for children and their families, raising aspirations across our region.

Mark Dunker, CFO, of Sheffield South East Trust has brought on board the Litmus Partnership to stand alongside us—guiding, shaping, and delivering the very best future for every single pupil in our care. Led by unshakeable purpose and crystal clear vision, we are driven to find nothing less than the perfect solution for the young people in our schools. This project has grown from a shared hope into something truly extraordinary over these past months: 36 school leaders have now united, standing together to choose a contractor who will match our ambition and deliver the absolute highest standards in food, care, and service.
