        "description": "The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for:\nTrinity School, Strand Road, Carlisle, Cumbria, CA1 1JB\nContract value = £637,162 p.a.\nThe contract will be for a three year term with the option to extend for a further two years.\nExtract from Headteachers welcome:\nWelcome to Trinity School. We think that what you will see is a vibrant and thriving community, with a strong sense of common purpose and a consistent focus on high standards.\nAlthough we are a large school, which allows us to offer a wide range of courses and activities, we try to behave as if we were a very small one, with a ‘village’ feel and a big emphasis on the unique importance of each individual.\nWe make no apology for our focus on high standards as we want the best for every one of our students: we insist on high standards in approach to learning and in behaviour. We work to offer a high standard of education and of pastoral care. We encourage responsibility, both for self and for others. Each student is encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, and to be responsible in the way they treat others, both in school and in the world beyond school. Responsibility and care for others reflects the Christian ethos of our school.\nWe also seek to provide wide ranging opportunities both within the curriculum we offer and in activities beyond the curriculum so that we educate the whole person and prepare our students well for life.\nWhile the school is distinctively Christian and rooted in Anglican identity, this is not expressed to the exclusion of those of other faiths or no faith.\nTrinity is a Good school with a positive Ofsted recent report with 1694 pupils of which 347 are sixth form pupils.\nThe school has a main dining room, year 11 dining room and separate sixth form block with a sixth form café where breakfast, break and lunch are served. There is also a supplementary break time service served from the hall.\nThe catering service at Trinity has been contracted out for a long time. The school is keen to maintain a high standard of food and service and is always looking for continuous improvement and new ideas from its catering provider. The catering facilities are quite modern but the school is always open to new ideas to further improve the service.",
