Willow Tree Primary School
About Willow Tree Primary School
Willow Tree Primary School in Watford is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is currently a school in demand. With a school capacity of 274, the fact that it is oversubscribed suggests that local families are actively seeking places here. The school’s intake reflects a broad demographic, though specific figures for free school meal eligibility are not provided in the available data, so it is not possible to compare directly with local or national averages. The school does not have a religious character, which may appeal to families looking for a non-denominational setting. It also offers nursery provision, making it a convenient option for parents wanting a single-site journey from early years through to the end of primary. The headteacher is Tanya Mortlock, and the school sits within the Hertfordshire local authority, an area with a large number of primary schools — 401 in total — of which 45 are rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
