  • "Why is the school being built in the Ricky area? They have lots of secondary schools there.
    As has been stated by previous posters both Abbots Langley and South Oxhey have had their schools closed and not replaced. Abbots Langley has expanded a lot recently so there must be hundreds of children driven or bused out of the area every day to school when we should have a secondary school within walking/cycling distance. What is Herts CC doing for the children of Abbots Langley? I think it's a case of who shouts loudest is catered for as usual."

New school for Rickmansworth to open in September 2013

A new secondary school for children in Rickmansworth, Mill End and Maple Cross, has been approved by the government.

The Reach Free School will open in September 2013, providing it is supported by Three Rivers District Council, and a site can be found.

Carolyn Venn, who is a governor at the new school, said: “Our thanks go to all members of the local community who have supported our application – we could not have got this far without you.”
