Our four founding schools are all are deeply committed to implementing a collaborative approach to working and securing excellent educational provision for all pupils, whilst having one shared voice in education for the Borough. We believe in growing from and growing through the rich diversity of backgrounds and beliefs that are found within our Dudley communities. All schools within Elements collaborate to share their professional expertise and partner with the wider community so all can flourish. Christ Church CofE Primary School: We are a large school with a nursery unit, in the heart of Coseley with children aged three to eleven years. We are privileged to be one of four founding member primary schools of Elements Diocesan Learning Trust and it's overarching Christian vision of 'Flourishing together, in the love of God'. The Trust enables our staff and children to come together alongside like-minded people to speak with one shared voice and ensure that all members of our learning community can reach their full potential. Our curriculum is exciting and designed to support children to grow and flourish in all aspects of their personhood: academically, socially, physically, and spiritually. We want our pupils to be aspirational, confident, and empowered so that they become lifelong learners. Through our broad, inclusive curriculum, children are encouraged to be responsible, reflective, and thoughtful citizens who care about their local community and the wider world. Church of the Ascension Primary School: Founded in the mid Nineteenth Century, Church of the Ascension Primary School has long been at the heart of the village of Wall Heath. Our school has a warm, vibrant atmosphere where purposeful learning takes place. Maths and English are given high priority within a context of a creative curriculum. We are committed to development of the whole child and ensure that sport, music, and art are also given high priority; a range of after school activities both sporting and creative ensure a wealth of opportunities for all our children. We believe we are a successful, nurturing primary school with a firm focus upon traditional values. We have excellent links with The Church of the Ascension which is situated across the road from the school. The school hosts a breakfast and after school club to accommodate the needs of parents who need to drop or collect pupils at different times to the school's traditional hours. St Mary's CE (VC) Primary School: We encourage respect for the spiritual and moral beliefs of the Christian tradition. We work within the Christian framework to support all children to find fulfilment and to flourish as individuals. We value every child for their own uniqueness. We are passionate about providing a relevant, fun and effective curriculum, both indoors and outdoors, that promotes the best possible education and opportunities for all of our children. We aim to foster the development of the whole child, ensuring each child experiences a happy, safe and secure school environment. We offer a broad, balanced, and enriched curriculum built around making learning fun and equipping children with the skills they need for the future. The requirement: The successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering services, initially for Christ Church CofE Primary, Church of the Ascension Primary and St Mary's CE (VC) Primary Schools. This is the first time that the Trust has put their catering requirement to competitive tender for these three Schools. The Trust is actively considering growing the number of schools during the contract period. See SQ document for more information",
