Description

The Yare Education Trust is a collaborative group of school communities, formally partnering each other in a Multi Academy Trust.

The Trust schools are united in their vision for education in the communities they serve.

The Trust's aim is to ensure that every child within the community enjoys the best possible education. We believe that students should achieve academic success, but also that the educational experience that each child receives should include helping him or her to understand the need for respect and responsibility. Equally, we believe that a good education should include activities beyond the academic curriculum such as sport, fieldwork and educational visits.

Yare Education Trust at Dussindale Primary School, where there are full kitchen facilities, and Hillside Avenue Primary and Nursery School, where the meals are currently 'delivered in', however this situation is expected to change during the contract period.

The duration of the contract being offered is 2 years commencing on 1.8.2017 and concluding on 31.7.2019.

The contract being offered within this tender will be based on a guaranteed performance basis with all free issue requirements and hospitality being recharged on consumption at 'net' food cost only.

The contract value is estimated at 360 000 GBP p.a.
