Notice Title

The Howard Partnership Trust ~ Tender for Catering Services

Notice Description

The successful supplier will be required to provide catering services to the school. After 2 years of collaborative working with The Howard Partnership Trust, Oxted School (the largest secondary school in Surrey and the fourth largest in the Country) joined The Partnership as an Academy in September2015. This innovation in high quality partnership work has already enabled Oxted to accelerate its school improvement journey and realise its aims for their young people: Aim High, Seize Opportunities and Work Together for Success. Established in 1929 with 22 students, Oxted School has grown into one of the largest mainstream schools with approximately 2 000 students. The size allows them to provide a very broad curriculum and an extensive rangeof opportunities for all students; they are especially proud of their outstanding Visually Impaired Unit. They area truly comprehensive school that caters well for all students, whatever their abilities. They work very hard tomake a large school 'feel' small and ensure students have a clear sense of belonging and this is effectively achieved through their highly valued House system. Their students get the best of both worlds: all the diversity and opportunity a large school brings with the personalised care, guidance and support a small school offers. As a comprehensive school committed to providing opportunities for all, they set ambitious and challengingtargets for all students and work together with them and their parents to meet, or exceed these. The students come from nearly 40 primary schools. One of the key features of the school is the large Sixth Form; the Sixth Form students play an important role in the development of the ethos and learning community of the School and their skills, talents and work ethic are integral to the culture of the rest of the school. The School's attainment record is securely good. At KS4, the school has been on a journey of improvement over the last 3 years, with 80 % of the grades secured at GCSE at A*-C and 25 % A*/A. At KS5 the %A*-B at A-level was 47 % and A*/A was again an impressive 25 %. Teaching and support staff work cohesively in a friendly atmosphere with the clear purpose of achieving the best outcomes for every student. All staff are encouraged to seek opportunities for professional development and they offer a highly comprehensive Continuing Professional Development programme, including optional weekly 'toolkit' sessions, opportunities for part funded MA or NPQSL courses and various other personalised programmes to support teaching and learning; there are also development opportunities across The Howard Partnership schools. Please be advised that this contract will be let on a 3 + 2 years basis.
