Senior Building Surveyor

Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire and enjoys great facilities and services. Meole Brace School serves the local community on the south side of Shrewsbury. The school has a comprehensive intake, and almost all students walk or cycle to school. There are approximately 1,350 students on roll, and the school is oversubscribed in all year groups. Our school has been able to set a balanced budget again this year, and we have some reserves. Our financial planning and processes are supported by the Trust finance team, led by Gwyneth Evans our Director of Finance.

Appointment to this post comes at an exciting time for the school and it is the perfect time for a new Headteacher. The school has had a challenging period, where results dropped, and a poor Ofsted followed. The last two years, however, has seen steady gains in results, alongside significant and sustained improvements in attendance, and behaviour indicators. This has been achieved through determined and targeted work by the leadership team (supported by the Trust), bringing improvements in leadership across all areas, and significant positive developments in classroom practice.

These improvements, carried out across two years, meant that the school was judged ‘Good’ in July this year. The school community is rightly proud of the improvements made and they also know that the school improvement journey for the school continues. There is an appetite to continue to make improvements and a very positive mood in the school. There is a determination that pupils will gain a truly great education, with outcomes that reflect this. The new Headteacher will be able to build on the current trajectory and have a strong foundation to take the school forward further still.

We are currently recruiting for a Senior Building Surveyor to head up the surveying and contract administration team within our Capital Investment Team.
