Notice Title

St Joan of Arc Catholic School Catering Tender

Notice Description

St Joan of Arc School is an academy situated on the High Street in the centre of Rickmansworth which is a small, prosperous, mainly residential, town in southwest Hertfordshire. The school is a Catholic secondary school with approximately 1230 pupils aged between 11 and 18 and it is part of the Diocese of Westminster. It is a mixed school and is non-selective academically but as it is a faith school the Governors encourage applications from parents/carers who wish their child to receive a Catholic education. The school has a large catchment area which extends from Rickmansworth into Buckinghamshire, the London suburbs and Watford. Overall, the school has an excellent reputation, is oversubscribed and academic standards are above average. The school is keen to continue to develop the catering service in the school. The school requires an innovative school catering service that will reflect the school's policy to actively promote healthy eating. The kitchen was completely refurbished, with the exception of the floor, 15 years ago. The kitchen is compact but is fit for purpose and is capable of providing both traditional meals and grab and go food. If the contractor is willing to invest in the kitchen area or the possibility of a catering pod it should state that this is the case in its proposal and this can be discussed in more detail at the presentation stage of the tendering process.
