Headteacher

Above all things we require our Headteacher to believe in the fundamental importance of education in young people's lives.

The Headteacher has delegated responsibility for the day-to-day running of the school.

• This includes responsibility for the education of all pupils, and the quality and effectiveness of that work.


• The Headteacher is responsible for: employment matters, work, and wellbeing of our team of staff; the implementation of the school budget and resources; buildings / assets, Health and Safety and compliance matters under the direction and as delegated by the Trust. These areas are all supported and guided by central Trust services.


The post holder is required to meet the relevant standards required for the role, such as the DFE: National standards of excellence for headteachers 2015 and where relevant to adjust their work in line with other future changes to expectations and or regulations.

The Trust can alter levels of support according to the needs of the school and for the experience of the new postholder.

Further information can be found in the application pack on the Trust website - www.trusted-schools.com

What the school offers its staff

Meole Brace School is part of a family of nine schools, that make up our MAT, TrustEd Schools. Meole Brace joined TrustEd in Summer 2022 and has benefitted from the support the Trust provides. Our Heads contribute freely to each other's schools according to need, in a collaborative and open way, within a strong Trust structure and Trust processes. We look forward to welcoming a colleague who shares our Trust's collaborative vision.

Our School is situated in the historic town of Shrewsbury, in the beautiful county of Shropshire, a short distance from the Welsh border and with excellent motorway and rail links to the West Midlands and beyond. 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.
