Description
The Tove Learning Trust is a family of academies that aims to inspire education that leads to outstanding outcomes. The trust consists of primary, secondary, and alternative provision schools across two regional hub areas in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes, as well as the West Midlands. They are committed to ensuring that all of our students achieve their full potential, and work hard to provide stimulating environments that enable every child to develop and flourish. The schools and teaching staff share best practices to strengthen their skill sets, deliver outstanding teaching, and enhance the outcomes of their pupils. They value the unique differences and identities of all their pupils and see them as positive attributes to build upon. Each of the schools is unique, with its own personality, values, and ethos. As a trust they support and nurture this, ensuring that their core individuality and beliefs remain the same. Currently there are a range of catering arrangements throughout the trust. The trust have decided to tender their catering services to investigate the financial and qualitative benefits they could be offered through this process, either by awarding in Lots or appointing one contractor across the Lots. The schools involved are: Lot 1- Primary Schools • Knowles Primary School, MK2 2HB • New Horizons Academy, NN1 2NE (Alternative Provision) • Water Hall Primary School, MK2 3QF • Whitefriars Primary School, NN10 9HX • Wootton Primary School, NN4 6HJ Lot 2- Secondary Schools • Elizabeth Woodville School (Deanshanger Site) MK19 6HN • Elizabeth Woodville School (Roade Site), NN7 2LP • Grace Academy Coventry, CV2 2RH • Grace Academy Darlaston, WS10 8QJ • Huxlow Academy, NN9 5TY • Lord Grey Academy, MK3 6EW • Rushden Academy, NN10 6AG • Sponne School, NN12 6DJ • Stantonbury School, MK14 6BN Lot 3- Primary & Secondary Schools Combined • Lots 1 & 2 combined It is the preference of the trust to appoint a single contractor in order to maximise the benefits for all parties. However, should a specialist contractor add significant value in their field, multiple contractors may be awarded across the lots.
