The School Record

Published admissions and inspection figures for schools in England, from the DfE, Ofsted and local authorities.

Schools in the WD18 postcode district

Watford

These are the newest figures we have for each school. "1st prefs per place" means how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It shows how many people want the school. It does not tell you if a child would get a place. A dash means we do not have that figure.

Demand for places in WD18

Across the 8 schools here with figures, the middle one drew 1.11 first preferences for every place it offered. 5 of 8 were named first by more families than they had places.

Demand is not admission. A school can be named first by far more families than it has places and still admit every applicant living in its catchment. Nothing on this page says anything about property values, and no figure here should be read as evidence about them.

Published admission zones covering WD18

No admission zone covering this district is published by its local authority in a form we can read. That does not mean the schools here have no catchments — only that we hold none, and we will not infer one.
