Deciding on the right school to send your children to can be a very difficult decision to make, with a range of factors to take into account.

One of these factors is taking a look at each establishment's Ofsted rating, to see how they have been rated by the government department.

Schools can be given one of four ratings by Ofsted; outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate.

SUGGESTED READING

These ratings are given following Ofsted visits, in which the establishments are analysed by the department's inspectors.

With that in mind, here's every secondary school's rating as of May 2024:

  1. Watford Grammar School for Girls - Outstanding
  2. Watford Grammar School for Boys - Outstanding
  3. Queens' School - Good
  4. The Grange Academy - Not yet rated
  5. Falconer School - Good
  6. Croxley Danes School - Good
  7. Bushey Meads School - Good
  8. Garston Manor School - Good
  9. Future Academies Watford - Requires improvement
  10. Saint Michael's Catholic High School - Outstanding
  11. Rickmansworth School - Outstanding
  12. Parmiter's School - Outstanding
  13. Breakspeare School - Outstanding
  14. Saint Joan of Arc Catholic School - Good
