Glenthorne High School Catering Tender

From the Headteacher, Mr Hume:"Glenthorne High School is a thriving 11-19 mixed comprehensive Academy with 1,600 pupils, of whom over 300 are in the 6th Form. We are an outstanding national Teaching School with a focus on high quality teacher training and a specialism in the arts.We are a heavily oversubscribed, highly successful school with a long and rich history in the local community. The school was founded on the Glastonbury Road site in 1933. It moved to the Sutton Common Road site in 1958. At this time, it was called Sutton Common County Secondary Girls' School; a small girls' school for less than 400 pupils. It changed its name to Glenthorne in 1982 and it wasn't until 1993 that it became co-educational. In 2018, we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee on the Sutton Common Road site.I joined the school as Headteacher back in September 2001 and it has been a pleasure and a privilege to lead the school over the last 19 years. Glenthorne is a unique school of extraordinary staff and pupils and enjoys exceptional support from parents and the local community. We are proud of our history, our success and achievements and our reputation for high standards and high expectations and proud of our contribution to the local community."The School has a modern kitchen and has 3 separate dining areas (in part due to Covid restrictions). The School is looking to develop the food offer for their students and deliver meaningful training support to the catering team from the successful bidder.
