School
Oldfields Hall, previously an all-girls school based in Uttoxeter, became a mixed school in 1975.
The site is made of two buildings, one being a 1959 block and the other being a late 16th-century hall that was once owned by John Bamford, who was owner of Bamfords Farming Machinery. The older part is known by students as The Old House and is also used by the local youth club and serves as the local Army Cadet Force detachment. The school has extensive grounds and a new synthetic pitch that was built in 2008; there is also a nature reserve in the grounds.
Previously a community school administered by Staffordshire County Council, in January 2018 Oldfields Hall Middle School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Uttoxeter Learning Trust.
The school catchment area includes parts of Uttoxeter plus the villages of Abbots Bromley, Marchington, Marchington Woodlands, Kingstone and Draycott in the Clay.
