S2e’s expertise and dedication in constructing our new STEM building were outstanding. Their ability to navigate challenges and deliver a top-quality educational facility reflects their commitment to excellence. We are immensely grateful for their contribution.
“The addition of this versatile and exciting facility to Martin High School has created greater opportunities to enhance health and well being for pupils and staff. It has also created a fantastic facility for the community, serving as a dedicated venue to optimise the sports offerings for individuals of all ages in the locality.
“Surveyors to Education (S2e) are nothing short of amazing! They are very supportive; they communicate consistently well and remove a lot of the stress of managing a big project. They have been both the designer and the school’s representative through the process and they really want to ensure we understand what is going on at each step of the process.”
“Together, we have overseen the replacement of a dilapidated temporary mobile with a state-of-the-art two-storey bespoke English and maths block which has enabled us to bring our departments together and create some fantastic spaces for our students to thrive”
The 2025–26 School Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) results reveal new challenges for capital maintenance funding. Our latest analysis explores key trends — from rising project costs and regional disparities to the growing misalignment between funding and condition need — and considers what might change as the Department for Education reviews the future of the current model.
S2e was appointed to deliver the Simon Cole Sports Centre — a £4.1 million sports hall and classroom project at Manor High School. Designed to support a 200-student intake increase and enable full GCSE PE curriculum delivery, the facility also incorporates Net Zero technologies and provides lasting value to the wider community through out-of-hours use.
We are growing and thrilled to announce several exciting new vacancies to join our multidisciplinary team of architects, building surveyors, engineers, health & safety specialists, and operations professionals.
