It has served the town of Rayleigh for approaching 90 years and has a long tradition of excellence in education. The school has consistently achieved examination results that have been well above national averages. Our traditional values, where a caring, supportive environment is reinforced by high standards of behaviour, allow each and every child to develop a lifelong love of learning We believe in a balanced curriculum that introduces and develops a wide range of skill areas to ensure stability and flexibility of learning. A high emphasis is placed upon the literacy and numeracy skills that are essential for success, whilst maintaining a wide range of academic, sporting and cultural opportunities. At FitzWimarc, our students can discover and develop talents and interests that they never knew they had. The school has been selected by the Department for Education for inclusion in the School Rebuilding Programme and will undergo significant demolition and reconstruction. The project is currently at the planning stage, with proposals scheduled for submission early next year, and is expected to run for approximately five years. Works will be delivered in two main phases, during which a substantial proportion of teaching space will be housed in temporary accommodation. As the project evolves, the site layout and building footprint will change, with existing single-storey blocks being replaced initially by modular units and subsequently by permanent three-storey buildings. Given the scale and complexity of the programme, unforeseen challenges are likely. The successful contractor will therefore need to demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and responsiveness to ensure that safe, clean, and fit-for-purpose teaching and learning environments are maintained throughout the duration of the works for our students, staff, and wider community. Further information regarding the School can be obtained here: https://www.fitzwimarc.com/ Tender information: The successful tenderer will be required to provide excellent cleaning services at FitzWimarc School, which has 1784 pupils and 229 teaching and support staff.
