Schools in Waltham Cross

About schools in Waltham Cross

Waltham Cross lists 24 schools, most of them primary schools. Its four secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. The youngest children are served by two nursery schools before they start primary.

Ofsted inspects every school listed here. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
