II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Anglian learning is a growing Multi Academy Trust operating in Cambridgeshire, west Suffolk and North Essex, formed in 2016. The Trust currently comprises 6 secondary schools and 8 primary schools, with 2 further primary schools likely to join the Trust and therefore this tender, with most school requiring a 1st September 2022 catering contract start (please see separate pdf called Schools and Sales Data for further detail here).
Our members share the firm belief that successful learning communities are underpinned by ambitious vision, trust and strong inspirational leadership at all levels of the organisation; that excellence is not simply defined by Ofsted grades and league table positions; and that education can play a transformational role in the lives of children and the success and wellbeing of our wider society.
Through membership of Anglian Learning, these goals are achieved by working with like-minded schools, leaders, teachers and all staff who are prepared to share responsibility, through support and challenge, to ensure that all our academies can offer an excellent education to all pupils, whatever their background and starting point.
