Schools in Stevenage
Stevenage was the UK's first designated new town and retains a neighbourhood structure with 42 state schools - 29 primaries and 6 secondaries - organised around the town's residential zones. Hertfordshire County Council coordinates admissions and links primary schools to secondary feeders that reflect the original new-town planning.
Six secondary schools serve Stevenage, and Hertfordshire applies feeder-school preferences at most of them. Families who move into the area partway through primary school may not attend a feeder school and so fall back on a distance tiebreaker for secondary allocation - checking the current feeder-link list via Hertfordshire's admissions portal is strongly advised.
School demand in Stevenage
Across the 39 schools in Stevenage with published capacity data, the average fill rate is 92%. 10 of them are currently at or above their published admission number, and at those schools catchment distance is likely to decide places at the next intake.
7 schools in Stevenage have a religious character, so faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in their admissions policies.
11 of the schools in Stevenage are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of Hertfordshire, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
20 of the schools in Stevenage have a current Ofsted rating, of which 18 are rated Good or Outstanding. Demand and catchment distance tend to be tightest at the highest-rated schools.
