Schools in Rickmansworth

A three-river market town of around 24,000 people, Rickmansworth sits in south-west Hertfordshire where the Chess and the Gade meet the Colne, a confluence that gave the Three Rivers District its name.

Chorleywood to the north-west is among the most sought-after postcodes for families competing for primary places, and the school-competitive belt runs through Scots Hill and the Rickmansworth town centre, where catchment boundaries draw considerable parent attention. The Grand Union Canal follows the Colne valley along the southern edge, a Georgian-era waterway that once carried coal and limestone south from the Midlands. Croxley Green extends the settled area further south. The Metropolitan line serves Rickmansworth station with trains reaching central London in around thirty minutes, and Chiltern Railways connects the town to London Marylebone.
