Schools in Stone
Stone is a market town in Staffordshire with 11 schools, including 7 primaries and one secondary — Alleyne's Academy. Staffordshire County Council coordinates admissions for community schools; Alleyne's Academy manages its own process as an academy. Six of the 11 schools carry a faith designation, including several Church of England first schools, making faith-school criteria particularly relevant for primary applications in this area.

For Staffordshire community primaries, straight-line distance is the main oversubscription criterion. Families applying for Alleyne's Academy should consult its published admissions policy, which includes a catchment area serving Stone and surrounding villages.
