Creating Clean and Healthy Learning Environments for Mercia Learning Trust

We provide a wide range of services to ensure that all areas of the schools are hygienically maintained, including:

• Daily Cleaning and Sanitisation: We maintain high-traffic areas like classrooms, restrooms, corridors, and common areas, focusing on regular disinfection of high-touch surfaces such as door handles, desks, and light switches to reduce the spread of germs.
• Restroom Hygiene: Our services ensure that restrooms remain clean, hygienic, and well-stocked throughout the day, with additional attention to sanitising handwashing facilities, surfaces, and dispensers.
• Specialist Floor Care: We implement regular cleaning for hard flooring, carpets, and other surfaces to ensure safety and aesthetic appeal. This includes polishing, buffing, and deep carpet cleaning as part of our comprehensive approach.
• Holiday Deep Cleans: During school holidays, our team conducts deep cleaning, which includes carpet shampooing, floor polishing, window cleaning, and other bespoke cleaning tasks. This allows schools to reopen with pristine facilities ready for a new term.

Staffing and Absence Management: One of the challenges that Mercia Learning Trust previously faced was managing the cleaning workforce and covering staff absences. Our dedicated contract management team took over this responsibility, ensuring that there are always well trained operatives on site to meet the schools' cleaning requirements. We provide full staffing coverage with flexible arrangements to handle unplanned absences without compromising service levels.

Compliance and Safety: We ensure that all Heb Cleaning & Hygiene staff assigned to the schools have enhanced DBS checks in line with Mercia Learning Trust’s policies, guaranteeing the highest levels of safety and compliance. We also conduct regular quality control checks and site audits to maintain the consistency of our service delivery, ensuring that we meet and exceed expectations.

• Improved Hygiene Standards: The consistent and thorough cleaning provided by Heb has led to visibly cleaner environments, improving the overall school experience for students, staff, and visitors.
• Increased Staff Confidence: Teachers and staff can focus on delivering education without worrying about the cleanliness or safety of the premises, as our cleaning teams take care of the day-to-day hygiene.
• Enhanced Learning Environments: With regular deep cleans and a robust daily cleaning programme, the learning environments are more conducive to student health and wellbeing, which positively impacts attendance and concentration.
• Strong Partnership: Heb Cleaning & Hygiene has built a long-term, trusted relationship with Mercia Learning Trust, ensuring open communication and adaptability to the evolving needs of the schools.
