Alleyne's Academy
About Alleyne's Academy
Alleyne's Academy is a state secondary for pupils aged 13 to 18 in Stafford, and its current roll of 852 students sits well below its capacity of 1120, suggesting there is room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.2 per cent, which is above the national average for secondary schools and reflects a relatively high level of disadvantage in the intake. Despite this, the school is oversubscribed in the sense that it ranks 16th out of 75 schools of the same type in Staffordshire, and second out of seven in the local authority area of Stafford when measured by Progress 8. That demand signal is worth noting: families are choosing Alleyne's even though it is not the highest-ranked school in the area. The school is mixed, non-religious, and has a sixth form, making it a straightforward option for local families looking for a single site from Year 9 through to 18.
