The best Church of England schools in St Albans

There are 5 schools with a Church of England religious character in St Albans listed on FindGreatSchools, spanning primary and secondary, state-funded and independent. Each listing links to a full profile with Ofsted information, results and demographics where published.

Anyone can apply. State-funded faith schools must admit all applicants when they have places available; when oversubscribed, their published admissions criteria may give priority to families of the faith. Independent faith schools set their own admissions policies, so check each school's website for details.

State-funded Church of England schools receive standard Ofsted inspections, plus a separate inspection of their religious character and religious education under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005. Independent Church of England schools are inspected by Ofsted or, for association schools, the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
