  • "Before Langleybury was closed, it was merged with Francis Coombe. When the Langleybury site was closed, the places were relocated to the Garston campus of Francis Coombe. That is seen by HCC as the non-selective feeder school for Abbots Langley children.

    Rickmansworth School has to serve both Rickmansworth and Croxley Green and is of course partially selective, so not only local children attend. And St. Joan of Arc brings most of it's pupils in from outside the immediate area.

    I don't think the provision for Abbots Langley children is perfect, but with Parmiter's, Francis Coombe and Kings Langley, we are relatively well served compared to other parts of SW Herts."

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.”
