School place planning in Staffordshire Moorlands District

The district of Staffordshire Moorlands is made up of five distinct areas:

A three tier education system, with first (4-9 years), middle (9-13 years) and high (13-18 years) schools, operates in Biddulph.

A two tier education system, with primary (4-11 years) and secondary (11-16/18) operates in Blythe Bridge, Endon and Werrington and Cheadle.

Leek including Cheddleton and Moorlands Rural, operates an amalgam of a two tier education system with primary (4-11 years) and secondary (11-18 years) schools and a three tier system, with first (4-9 years), middle (9-13 years) and high (13-18 years) schools.
