The contract, which has a value of £5 million, includes the delivery of cleaning services including laundry and domestic services across the whole College estate, including boarding houses, teaching facilities, sports centres and the College theatre.
To optimise student and staff experience, Sodexo is introducing cleaning zones and intelligent self-auditing which will drive innovation further by streamlining workflows and improving efficiency.
Established in 1862, Clifton College is one of the largest and most prestigious co-ed schools in the country, attended by 1,450 pupils aged 3 to 18 years and supported by over 600 staff members.

Sodexo also remains a key support for the hospitality of the many events and school functions the College hosts throughout the year.
Steve Hawkins, Managing Director, schools for Sodexo UK & Ireland said: “We’re thrilled to expand our partnership further with Clifton College and to support their day-to-day operations.

We very much look forward to strengthening further this partnership by adding their cleaning services. We are certain that they will bring to this area the same level of professionalism and high standards.”
