Good Schools in East Herts & Essex

[LynneW]

Can anyone recommend good areas for secondary schools in East Herts & Essex which aren't selective. We're moving out of London with three kids for bigger house & garden but also hoping for a good state school which isn't a lottery to get into and isn't selective. Any ideas?

I am no expert but i think that there is meant to be a very good school in SAffron walden which is non selective and has a very good name.

Saffron Walden County High? You must live within catchment. Newport Free Grammar (actually a comprehensive) also believed to be good but again you need to be in the catchment. Some Bishops Stortford Schools are also good.
