Carole Herman – Headteacher

2012 was an historic year: the Queen's Jubilee, the Olympics and – most significantly – Shenfield High School's 50th Anniversary.

Shenfield High School is a successful organisation and is looking to place the catering services on site to contract provision commencing in September 2013.

There is a student population of approximately 1 400.

The current service is currently managed by an in-house provision. The school site is constantly evolving and it is expected that the new contractor will become involved with the growth and enhancement of the catering services to students and staff.

There is an expectation that the successful bidder will be prepared to offer financial investment to Shenfield High School in exchange for a longer term contract of between 3 and 5 years.
