There are no bad schools in Stortford. Birchwood has a good reputation and is massive.

The admissions are on their website and they have a large catchment because several of the other senior schools in the town are partially selective or Faith schools. The one everyone wants is Hockerill, which is partially selective or you might get a place as a boarder. The Boys High is outstanding but very alpha in my experience. St Mary’s is Catholic, Herts and Essex Girls is amazing and you get a guaranteed place if you go to their feeder primary school. The new Avanti poached loads of staff from Hockerill and seems to be a bit marmite.
