Meole Brace School is a coeducational secondary school in the suburb of Meole Brace, Shrewsbury, England. It is one of two state-funded secondary schools in South Shrewsbury and serves a wide catchment area which includes Bayston Hill and some rural estates south of Shrewsbury.[1]
It previously held Science College specialist status and was awarded the Sportsmark by the Sports Council. Ofsted rated the school "Good" in 2015, paying special attention to the above average results in Religious Studies, Geography, Drama and Modern Foreign Languages at GCSE level. The school also has Ofsted "Good" ratings in every category.[2] As it does not have a sixth form, students transfer to Shrewsbury Sixth Form College, Shrewsbury College of Arts and Technology or an independent school.
