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.

The school catchment area includes parts of Uttoxeter plus the villages of Abbots Bromley, Marchington, Marchington Woodlands, Kingstone and Draycott in the Clay.

Oldfields' main feeders are (The Majority of students from these schools choose Oldfields as their Middle School) ; The Richard Clarke First School in Abbots Bromley, Picknalls First School in Uttoxeter, Talbot First School in Kingstone, St Peter's First School in Marchington, All Saints First School in Church Leigh and St Augustine's First School in Draycott.

Oldfields serves as a feeder school for Thomas Alleyne's High School which is also in Uttoxeter.

The current Headteacher is Mr Gliddon who has held the position since September 2014.

Notable former pupils
gollark: How, exactly?
gollark: You might also just want more stuff and thus more money.
gollark: The "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" thing seems like it wouldn't produce much of an incentive to work, and also people *want* stuff as well as needing some stuff.
gollark: Also better taxes on externalities.
gollark: Anyway, my economic ideals are something like: government-regulated-a-bit (mostly to deal with monopolies) free markets for most things, Georgism, smallish government, and UBI.
