Full details in relation to Colton Hills Community School can be found at: http://coltonhills.co.uk/ The latest Ofsted report finding may be viewed at: http://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/ELS/104395 The catering service provision at Colton Hills Community School has not been market tested in the last 4 years and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Head Teacher and School Governors have made a decision to tender the catering service. Previous to the incumbent contractor the catering service provision was managed by Wolverhampton DSO. Therefore, the successful contractor needs to offer an Admitted Body Status pension arrangement to those staff that were employed by the Council and transferred over to the incumbent contractor on contract award. Current roll numbers are circa 950 students including 150 Sixth Formers. In addition to this there are 100 teaching and support staff. Please note that this is a multi-cultural school and this should be considered when reviewing and considering the food offer.
