Location
The school serves the villages of Lower Gornal and Gornal Wood, where the majority of the school's pupils live. A lesser number of pupils are from the Upper Gornal area, while some are from over the border in Dudley on the Milking Bank housing estate that was mostly developed during the 1980s.
Ellowes Hall is located on the Stickley Estate, which is predominantly made up of pre-war council housing built by Sedgley UDC, though many homes have been bought off the council under the right to buy scheme. The estate is situated just to the north-west of Lower Gornal village centre, and is approximately two miles from the centres of nearby towns Sedgley and Dudley.
The majority of pupils starting at Ellowes are former pupils of, Roberts Primary, Red Hall Primary, Straits Primary and Milking Bank Primary School, though a handful of pupils have been taken in from schools including Cotwall End and - until its closure in 2006 - Sycamore Green.
