Good Schools in East Herts & Essex

[LynneW]

Can anyone recommend good areas for secondary schools in East Herts & Essex which aren't selective. We're moving out of London with three kids for bigger house & garden but also hoping for a good state school which isn't a lottery to get into and isn't selective. Any ideas?

I am no expert but i think that there is meant to be a very good school in SAffron walden which is non selective and has a very good name.

Saffron Walden County High? You must live within catchment. Newport Free Grammar (actually a comprehensive) also believed to be good but again you need to be in the catchment. Some Bishops Stortford Schools are also good.

broxbourne school is supposed to be good. as far as i know just based on distance for entramce (well am hoping!)
