Schools in Ware
On the River Lea in East Hertfordshire, Ware spreads from a compact historic core outward through modern suburban estates. Rows of Georgian and Victorian mills line the river, records of Ware's nineteenth-century industrial heritage. The parish today holds a population of around 19,600 residents.
The town's railway station provides links to Liverpool Street via West Anglia rail services, a journey of around fifty minutes. Ware is widely regarded as one of East Hertfordshire's most competitive postcodes for primary catchments, with Little Hadham and Old Hall Green extending the catchment belt south and east. Hunsdon borders the parish to the north.
