The Youth Engagement Schools Trust is a multi-academy trust that specialises in running the best possible SEN and Alternative Provision schools, and who pride themselves on supporting the most vulnerable young people and genuinely changing lives.

They currently have open 3 Academies and a small independent school, based across Cheshire East and Shropshire, and are seeking a long term catering partner to provide pupils and staff with a quality catering service to support their health and personal and social development in schools.

They are primarily looking for a provider for a new school, The Keystone Academy (Shrewsbury), which is due to open in its brand-new building in January 2024. This school will cater for up to 120 pupils, and 50 staff when full - which is expected to be by Easter 2025. The Trust also has a new school opening in Halton in September 2024 – The Raise Academy – and there are several other schools in the pipeline.
