Painsley Catholic College is a Roman Catholic secondary school with academy status situated in Cheadle, Staffordshire and is one of the leading schools in the country. Painsley consistently achieves excellent grades at GCSE level and the shared VI Form continues this success. The name “Painsley” was chosen because it had a common link with all the parishes which cover the school community. From Painsley Hall, Draycott, one of the Draycott family houses, came a “Painsley and Draycott Mission”, which served the neighbouring areas and from which grew those parishes which are now connected with the college. Painsley is the most successful school in Staffordshire and is one of the highest achieving schools in the country. The school is heavily oversubscribed. It is expanding. It is part of a multi-academy company called The Painsley Catholic Academy. The Academy is made up of seven schools, Painsley and its six feeder schools.
