Schools in Leek
A moorland market town in north Staffordshire, Leek is the principal centre for families researching schools across the surrounding rural parishes. Westwood is the most school-competitive quarter of the town, where parents compete for primary places and school catchments draw families in from outlying villages. Horton lies among the wider rural settlements. Around a dozen mainstream schools serve the area.
