St. Giles' belongs to the group of schools whose pupils would hope to transfer to Painsley R.C. High School. The Painsley R.C. High School catchment area covers the seven catholic parishes of Leek, Tean, Caverswall, Alton, Uttoxeter, Cotton and Cheadle. Painsley school has its own admissions arrangements but as a feeder school all of our Catholic children expect to transfer to Painsley at the end of year 6 (age 11).

Whilst we would hope that all our Non-Cathol ic children would also transfer to Painsley we, at St. Giles, can make no categorical promises to this effect. This'pyramid' group as it is called meets regularly at Headteacher, Class Teacher, subject and pupil level. There are many activities planned for the eight schools over the year and the variety of programmes offered is admired by many across the County.
