Nascot Wood Junior School is a highly aspirational, oversubscribed two-form entry Junior school in Watford, that caters for children of all abilities and from a wide variety of backgrounds. It is a happy and successful school where children, staff, parents and governors work together to ensure that all pupils receive a high-quality education and are well equipped for the future.

The school is situated in close proximity to Watford Junction station, the M1 and M25. Over the past five years there has been substantial investment in the fabric of the school building. The school benefits from substantial woodland, an outdoor swimming pool and an additional hall.

We are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to fulfil their potential, develop a love of learning, and make a positive contribution, both in a school setting and, later on, as a member of the wider community.

In October 2023 the school was judged by OFSTED as outstanding in all areas, and we continue to relentlessly strive for excellence through the development of innovative initiatives and strategies.

The school was listed in the 2024 Sunday Times Top 200 schools list, as the highest achieving Junior School in the country.

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This role involves working closely with children and is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

All applicants are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check as part of Hertfordshire County Council’s pre-employment checks.  Any appointment is subject to satisfactory completion of a DBS and other safeguarding checks and also to satisfactory references being obtained.
