The Wickersley Partnership Trust

By Catherine Clayton
Chief Financial Officer, The Wickersley Partnership Trust

“The Wickersley Partnership Trust and Surveyors to Education have grown together from the inception of the academy structure. Working as a team we secured over £1.5m through Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) funding for window and roof replacement projects improving the condition of the schools.

With attainment levels rising, the Trust was encouraged to grow, moving pupil numbers above the School Condition Allocation (SCA) threshold.

Surveyors to Education first completed condition surveys in order to prioritise our capital spend through a five year plan. Since then, we have relied on expertise to negotiate £1m funding from the ESFA Complex Project Team and secure £900k Basic Need Funding from Rotherham Borough Council for a new eight classroom block.

Surveyors to Education have specialist education knowledge which is invaluable to the Trust and we look forward to continuing our relationship to meet future challenges.”
