The school caters for a diverse community, 34% of pupils have English as an additional language with 43 different languages spoken. 28% of the pupils in the school are entitled to free school meals (30% Pupil Premium/Ever 6) and some come from challenging home circumstances. The Contractor will be required to supply midday meals during term time to pupils, staff and visitors in the school.
