There will be an option to extend the contract for a further period by mutual agreement. Both are mixed schools; Queensbridge School educates pupils in the 11-16 range and currently has 740 pupils on roll, rising to 850 by September 2018, whilst Fox Hollies educates pupils in the 11-19 range has approximately 90 pupils on roll. The contract covers the scope for the provision of all catering and vending services within both schools, which also includes all hospitality and free issue requirements.
