Before you apply

Four things worth knowing in Staffordshire

  1. Half or more are faith schools.

    148 of the 147 faith schools in Staffordshire have a religious character. When they're full, they can put families of their faith first, so check each school's rules.

    Show schools with no religious character
  2. Check how old the Ofsted grade is.

    Some grades are many years old. Each school's page shows the date of its last inspection and what's changed since.

    Show Good or Outstanding
  3. List a school you're likely to get.
