How close do you need to live to get into schools in Stone?
It depends on the school, and the cut-off moves every year with the number of applications. Staffordshire published how far the last place offered went at this school: Manor Hill First School, 0.644 miles for 2026 entry. These are the authority's own figures, not fixed boundaries.
How do I apply for a school place in Stone?
Apply to Staffordshire through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
