School place planning in South Staffordshire District
South Staffordshire is made up of four main areas:
- Cheslyn Hay and Great Wyrley
- Kinver and Wombourne
- Codsall and Perton
- Penkridge
Different parts of the district use different school systems:
- In Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley, Kinver and Wombourne, there is a two‑tier system:
- Primary schools (ages 4–11)
- Secondary schools (ages 11–18)
- In Codsall, Perton and Penkridge, there is a three‑tier system:
- First schools (ages 4–9)
- Middle schools (ages 9–13)
- High schools (ages 13–18)
To plan school places properly, the district is divided into smaller planning areas based on where schools are and how pupils move between them.
