As the Schools break for their well-deserved summer holiday, let’s celebrate some successes.

Ipswich School has been quite simply stunning.This term saw them become the first UK School to achieve the PLATINUM CAP Award.The commitment and dedication brought home that much sought after Platinum Award for their catering services.Via their progression through three consecutive GOLD Awards, the quality of service coupled with astute financial management saw the catering team achieve the PLATINUM Award.

Within the housekeeping / cleaning services, the Creative Education Trust saw their Academies and School build on the previous year’s success and polished their way to further progressive improved cleaning scores across CET Estate – a brilliant achievement at unity and ‘team’.

Not to be outdone, mention must also be made of Battle Abbey School on achieving another UK first in gaining their third consecutive GOLD CAP Award – a first within the Education sector.

So many more to mention from all points of the compass. Suffice to say that common amongst them all though is the drive to improve the pupil experience via the standards of cleanliness, the quality and variety of the food offer coupled with a robust demonstration of ‘value for money’ for the investments being made into these two important services.

Enjoy the summer break and thank you on behalf of everyone who has benefited from your service delivery this year.
