The Netflix series "Sex Education" is set in the fictional town of Moordale. However, the exact location of Moordale is not clear, and the time period in which the show is set is also ambiguous. While some of the cast dress in modern attire, speak about culturally relevant topics, and have mobile phones, they also drive classic cars, listen to old-school music on record players, live in houses filled with vintage furniture, and rarely mention social media. The show is mainly filmed in and around Wales, UK. Some of the filming locations include:
- Caerleon Campus, Wales: This location was used to portray Moordale Secondary School.
- Westonbirt School, England: This private school was used to portray the United States college that Maeve attends.
- Symonds Yat, England: This village was used as the filming location for Otis and Jean Milburns cottage.
- St Fagans National History Museum Coach and Orchard Car Park, Wales: This location doubled for Cavendish Sixth Form College.
- Newport International Sports Village, Wales: This location was used for the swimming pool scenes at Moordale High.
- Cwmbran Stadium, Wales: This location doubled for the Moordale High running track.
Other filming locations include Tintern, Monmouthshire, Ross-on-Wye, and Bristol University.
