School Atlas lists 51 state primary schools, 15 state secondary schools, 2 all-through schools, 4 special schools, 3 alternative provision schools and 4 post-16 schools and colleges in Waltham Forest. It also lists 5 independent schools and 105 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 12 have a religious character: 6 Roman Catholic, 3 Church of England, 2 Christian and 1 Muslim.
Of the 68 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Waltham Forest, 51 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 11 Outstanding, 39 Good and 1 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 9 of these schools have had one.
Waltham Forest doesn't publish catchment boundaries, so there’s no boundary map to check. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 39 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
