School Atlas lists 49 state primary schools, 7 state secondary schools, 1 all-through school, 5 special schools, 1 alternative provision school and 1 post-16 school or college in Halton. It also lists 3 independent schools and 42 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 23 have a religious character: 14 Roman Catholic, 8 Church of England and 1 Church of England/Roman Catholic.
Of the 57 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Halton, 36 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 2 Outstanding and 34 Good.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 8 of these schools have had one.
Halton doesn't use catchment areas. Places go by each school’s own admission criteria, not an area you live inside.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 28 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
