Hazel Slade Primary Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Hazel Slade Primary Academy?

The catchment area for Hazel Slade Primary Academy is the geographic zone Staffordshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.
