Anglian Leaning Trust ~ Cleaning Tender

Anglian Learning is a growing Multi Academy Trust operating in Cambridgeshire, west Suffolk and North Essex, formed in 2016. The Trust currently comprises 6 secondary schools and 9 primary schools, with all schools requiring a 1st January 2024 cleaning contract start. The Trust expects to grow during the period of this contract, including the opening of a new primary school in Waterbeach, currently scheduled for September 2024. Our members share the firm belief that successful learning communities are underpinned by ambitious vision, trust and strong inspirational leadership at all levels of the organisation; that excellence is not simply defined by Ofsted grades and league table positions; and that education can play a transformational role in the lives of children and the success and wellbeing of our wider society. Through membership of Anglian Learning, these goals are achieved by working with like-minded schools, leaders, teachers and all staff who are prepared to share responsibility, through support and challenge, to ensure that all our academies can offer an excellent education to all pupils, whatever their background and starting point Please find the list of current schools within the Trust below: Secondary Schools:
