Case Studies & Testimonials
Real Impact Across Schools and Communities
Every school is different, which is why our approach starts with understanding how each site really works day to day. Across catering, cleaning, health and safety, and support services, our case studies show how practical changes, strong partnerships and people-first delivery can improve standards, reduce pressure on teams and create better environments for pupils and staff alike.
New Vision Trust
Aligning cleaning provision with real school use
A detailed operational review across four New Vision Trust schools, helping reshape cleaning provision around how each building is genuinely used day to day. Through site analysis, staff consultation and tailored service planning, Juniper helped reduce cleaning hours while maintaining standards, supporting staff wellbeing and protecting the learning environment.”
Park Primary School
Improving efficiency, consistency and staff wellbeing through smart cleaning equipment
A smart cleaning equipment trial at Park Primary School, focused on improving efficiency, consistency and staff wellbeing across a busy school environment. By introducing the PUDU SH1 scrubber, Juniper Bright reduced cleaning times, improved audit scores and removed much of the physical strain linked to traditional floor cleaning methods, helping create a safer and more effective service for both staff and the school.
Elmhurst Primary School
Reducing chemicals and simplifying cleaning through on-site generated solutions
At Elmhurst Primary School, Juniper Bright trialled an on-site generated cleaning solution to reduce chemical use, cut packaging and make day-to-day cleaning simpler for the team. The result was a practical shift from multiple routine products to one multi-purpose solution, supporting a 55% reduction in routine chemical spend while maintaining standards in a busy school environment.
Newham Dockside
Using smart technology to deliver safer, more consistent cleaning
Juniper Bright introduced a robotic scrubber dryer at Newham Dockside, a large local authority building in East London, to explore how automation could improve cleaning standards and support the on-site team.
The site’s large atrium spaces and high footfall made it well suited to trial a more efficient approach. The aim
was to strengthen consistency and safety, while supporting staff rather than replacing them.
Marner Primary School
A carefully managed mobilisation and TUPE transition
A smooth mobilisation is about more than a change of provider. At Marner Primary School, Juniper Bright managed the TUPE transfer of nine long-serving cleaning operatives while protecting continuity, supporting staff and keeping cleaning standards consistent from day one.
St Bonaventure’s School
15 years of trusted cleaning support
Juniper Bright has supported St Bonaventure’s School since 2011, building a long-standing partnership centred on reliable service, consistent standards and a dedicated onsite team. With an average team length of service of around 10 years, the case study highlights how continuity, clear communication and a responsive approach help keep a busy secondary school running smoothly.
Crampton Primary School
Increasing meal uptake through a refreshed school food offer
Juniper Club introduced a new catering service at Crampton Primary School, with freshly prepared menus, a daily salad bar and a more welcoming dining environment. Alongside supporting the onsite team through the transition, the changes helped increase school meal uptake from 85% to 92%, giving pupils more choice and a better lunchtime experience.
Maryland Primary School
Tackling food waste through digital innovation and pupil feedback
A digital food waste trial at Maryland Primary School gave pupils the chance to share feedback on their meals and help identify opportunities to reduce waste. Using DigiTally, pupils recorded what they ate and why food was left uneaten, providing valuable insight into preferences and portion sizes. The school recorded just 38g of food waste per meal, compared with the challenge average of 76g.
Mayflower Federation
Increasing meal uptake through a refreshed school food offer
A refreshed catering service across Mayflower Federation’s two primary schools introduced new menus, colourful dining spaces, healthy snack stations and engaging theme days. With greater pupil involvement and closer collaboration with school teams, the changes have helped increase daily meal uptake by 10% and create a more enjoyable lunchtime experience.
