Organisation

There are seven classes in the school and these correspond to the year groups. Children will progress through the school in these groups. On entry to school, pupils are placed in a mixed ability reception class in the care of their own teacher and classroom assistant, who have responsibility for their education and welfare. This class will then move on each year to a new teacher. This pattern will continue for the foreseeable future through the seven years that the child will attend the school.

Endon Hall is a co-educational day school, administered by the Staffordshire County Council Education Committee. It caters for pupils between the ages of 4 and 11 years of age and serves mainly the Endon and Bagnall area of the County.
