How places are allocated in Staffordshire

Primary schools: Catchment area is an explicit criterion (after LAC/medical, before distance); catchment maps available from the council. (source)

Most schools use the local authority's default scheme rather than a school-specific catchment map — see each school's page for its own designated/catchment area where one is published.
