Education

Bishop’s Stortford is rightly proud of the variety and excellence of the schools in the Town.

Primary Schools

The Town is served by 13 primary schools, and the presence of church-related schools, both Protestant and Catholic, ensures that parents are generally able to choose the type of school their children should attend. In addition there are numerous excellent nursery units, pre school groups and mother and toddler groups.


Secondary Schools

Secondary education in the town also presents a real choice for parents, as there are single sex schools and co-educational schools of equal excellence. The Bishop’s Stortford High School for boys and the Hertfordshire and Essex High School for girls are single sex up to the fifth form and co-educational in the sixth, while Birchwood High School and St Mary’s Catholic School are co-educational throughout. The co-educational Hockerill Anglo-European School in the town accepts both day pupils and boarders.


Public Schools

The town is very fortunate to host one of the most respected public schools in the country - Bishop’s Stortford College. The College caters for boys and girls from the age of four to eighteen.
