What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe successful Supplier will be required to provide Catering Services for Kings Heath Primary School. Kings Heath Primary School is a happy school because the children feel safe and secure. They are cared for by a committed, caring and skilled staff who pride themselves on creating an environment where pupils can express themselves.
Mark Court and as the Headteacher, I am very proud to welcome you to Kings Heath Primary School.
Our mission statement: ‘Nurturing Ambition, Achievement, Respect and Happiness’ is at the heart of our school and community.
Situated in the south of Birmingham, Kings Heath is a large Primary school. We are deeply committed to challenging inequality in any form through an inclusive ethos that runs through the school.
Our primary aim is to ensure the very best teaching, learning and achievement for all pupils through an academically challenging and creative curriculum. We celebrate each child as an individual, enabling them to nurture their talents as well as support them to be culturally knowledgeable about our community, country and world.
We are proud of the rich diversity of our community and aim to provide a stimulating, relevant curriculum that develops each child whilst ensuring equality for all. We challenge all forms of discrimination and unconscious bias by providing a curriculum that is relevant to the backgrounds of all our pupils. We place a high importance and promote the love of reading so that pupils become articulate communicators and readers for life.
We are pleased that Ofsted recognises our ethos as such a major strength and have identified that at the heart of our school there are ‘very warm relationships in all classes’ which ‘encourage and develop pupils’ confidence and enjoyment of learning’
