Frequently asked questions
How many schools are there in Bishop's Stortford?
The Department for Education's official Get Information about Schools register lists 30 open schools with a Bishop's Stortford address (as of 5 June 2026), including 23 primary and 5 secondary schools.

Does living in Bishop's Stortford guarantee a place at these schools?
No. Each school's admissions are governed by its own policy and the local authority's coordinated process. Distance is often a tie-breaker behind criteria like siblings, faith and catchment, so being nearby helps but never guarantees a place. Always check the school's current admissions policy and last year's cut-off distance.
Where does this list come from?
Every school on this page comes from the Department for Education's official Get Information about Schools register, retrieved on 5 June 2026. Each name links to the school's official record, which is the place to verify details before relying on them.
How do I check the distance from a home to a school in Bishop's Stortford?
