The Charles Darwin Academy is inviting suitably qualified suppliers to provide catering services to its staff, students and pupil's at two locations in Biggin Hill, Kent.
The Schools in scope are;
The Charles Darwin School is a warm and welcoming secondary school which forms a happy and inclusive community, comprising of 1340 students including a 6th form of 236. Situated close to the Biggin Hill Airfield.
The catering facilities are fully fitted with a single use dining area which also has a small café facility. A 'POD' service is also provided in the main outdoor area, the 6th form has a small 'Trolley' service. Some refurbishment of the kitchen and servery area may be needed. The payment policy is no cash payments and the school will require replacement of the current 'Cunningham's' cashless payment system.
Biggin Hill Primary school is part of the Charles Darwin Academy; a two form entry school set in beautiful grounds on the outskirts of the London Borough of Bromley. The school comprises of 402 pupils from YR to Y6 plus 29 pupils in their Pre School setting. The School kitchen is dated and will require some equipment upgrading.
The school ethos is built around our five core values which were developed by both the staff and children at the school. Our values: Positivity, Respect, Inclusivity, Discovery and Endeavour reflect the school's desire to take PRIDE in everything we do. Following these values is central to what we describe as the 'Biggin Hill Way'.
The Trust intends to let the contract as a single 'Lot' appointing one contractor for both locations.
