About Alleyne's Academy
Alleyne's Academy, formerly Alleyne's High School, is a co-educational secondary school and sixth form with academy status in Stone, Staffordshire. It caters for children aged 13-18 and is one of three schools founded in 1558 by the 16th century priest, Thomas Alleyne.
Alleyne's was designated a Specialist Technology Status in September 2003 and was renamed on its conversion to academy status in September 2013. Alongside well-equipped ICT, design and technology and science suites, the school’s students have access to a range of sports facilities, including a swimming pool, and a drama studio and theate.
There are over 180 post-16 students studying in the sixth form, where a range of A-levels or BTEC subjects are offered.
Alleyne’s Academy is the only state high school serving Stone and following projections that the intake at Year 9 will increase year on year from 2018, a consultation is taking place which, if plans are supported, will lead to the provision of extra accommodation.
