Schools in Waltham Cross

On the Lee Valley floor at Hertfordshire's southern edge, Waltham Cross is named for the medieval Eleanor Cross that still stands in its pedestrianised High Street, one of only three surviving examples commissioned by King Edward I in 1290. Around 9,000 people live in Waltham Cross.

Greater Anglia services on the West Anglia Main Line from Waltham Cross station reach London Liverpool Street in around thirty minutes. Cheshunt, the substantially larger town to the north, is among the most sought-after areas for primary school catchments, drawing families into its inter-war and post-war residential streets within the Borough of Broxbourne; Flamstead End is a school-competitive corner of Cheshunt where families compete keenly for primary places, while Goffs Oak lies further to the northwest.
