Extract from Headteacher welcome – Shevington High School is a vibrant and inclusive learning community, where we ensure that every student has a personalised journey toward success. At Shevington, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive and challenging environment for our students that presents opportunities for academic and personal growth.
We are very proud of our strong sense of community, where respect is at the heart of how we treat every member of our school. We are committed to working closely in partnership with parents and carers, understanding that together we can provide the best support for our young people.
The school has a recently refurbished modern main dining area and a newly built dining room extension. There is scope for an additional serving point. It is important to the school that their catering provider has the welfare of the students at heart and works closely with the school to make sure that every student engages with the service and has a positive experience.
Admitted body status will be expected as there are some members of catering staff in the local government pension scheme.
The school would be open to contractor investment proposals
