It is home to the National Lottery, Geri Halliwell and the Hornets but now Watford has a new claim to fame. The town of just 79,000 people in Hertfordshire is the location that sired three of England’s top 10 comprehensives.
Watford Grammar School for Girls is the second most highly rated comprehensive in the FT top 1,000, Watford Grammar School for Boys follows closely at fourth, and co-educational Parmiter’s comes ninth.
