A market town of around seventeen thousand people on the River Trent in Staffordshire, Stone sits some eight miles south of Stoke-on-Trent, with the Trent and Mersey Canal winding through its centre. The canal-side setting is a quiet constant.
Stone has long been a school-competitive corner of the county, drawing families who value the compact catchments running through the town and into the residential areas of Walton and Oulton. CrossCountry services from Stone station reach Stoke-on-Trent in around twenty minutes, linking the town to the Potteries and the wider regional network.
