Hazel Slade School was built in 1884 chiefly for use as a church but also as a day school. By 1892 it was an Infants' school but by 1912 was Mixed and Infants'. A new school was built on a new site nearby at Hazel Slade on the junction of the Rugeley and Cannock Wood Roads in 1936 and enlarged in 1948.
