In 1907 the County Council took over a private girls' school at the Moat House on Newport Road, and moved it to new and larger premises in The Oval. It became Stafford Girls' High School, and there were places for 175 girls with accommodation for boarders at the Hough cottage nearby in Lichfield Road.
In the mid 1970s Stafford Girl's High School merged with King Edward VI Grammar School to become a comprehensive.
