    Why Move to Rayleigh?

    Sitting between Chelmsford and sunny Southend-on-Sea, this very unique market town ticks an awful lot of boxes. A great selection of shops, open spaces including a number of large parks and playing fields, and other things to do located right on your doorstep all with the additional benefit of having very handy transport links.

    It is a small town with a population of around 33,000. A pretty place which has retained much of its traditional character. For those who enjoy being involved in community projects and groups, Rayleigh certainly has plenty of them to chose from and in particular its Horticultural Society, the largest in Essex.

    Each Wednesday, there is a lively outdoor market in the town’s High Street which dates back to before 1181 when it was inscribed in the Exchequer Records of Henry II. In recent years, the market has seen a regeneration, with many new stalls and a wider choice of goods available.

    Rayleigh was once home to an important Norman castle (now run by the National Trust), which once defended the area, although all that exists today are the earthwork remains of its large motte-and-bailey it makes an interesting place to visit.

    Many residents commute the 40-minute journey into London for work or even quicker into Chelmsford, a short 20-minute car ride away. A typical location for those who want to experience the easier laid-back lifestyle and safety factor a small town offers without compromising on getting to larger places when necessary, in good time.

    For that added extra, Rayleigh is just 6 miles from the large coastal town of Southend-on-Sea which boasts the longest leisure pier in the world plus lots of other beachy activities.

    There is not much that Rayleigh does not have except low property prices. With an average of £388,863, the old adage “you get what you pay for” applies here but its well worth it.

    Rayleigh Schools & Education

    Schools in the Rayleigh area are overseen by Essex County Council.

    Families with young children choosing to live in Rayleigh have a good choice of state infant, junior schools, and day nurseries within the area, including Rayleigh Primary School, Grove Wood Primary School and Wyburnd Primary School with Grove Wood Primary having achieved the highest rating of “Outstanding” from Ofsted.

    The town has two secondaries, the Sweyne Park School, and FitzWimarc School. Sweyne Park is a large school and only relatively recently converted to an Academy and since then also provide pupils with sixth form education.

    The Karalius Foundation is an independent special school for boys aged between 12-16 years. The school specialises in teaching and supporting disengaged children.

    Rayleigh does not have a dedicated college for further education; however, Basildon is just 6 miles away and home to three FE colleges: South Essex College, New Campus Basildon and PROCAT (formerly Prospects College).
