We are committed to providing excellent learning opportunities and high quality education for all and are proud of all of our students and schools. Your child will have every opportunity to succeed at whichever school he or she attends in Enfield. It is important that you find out more about schools before making your application. This booklet has information about opportunities available to visit our schools and details of their website addresses. Since 2008, Enfield has had high levels of demand for school places because of the increase in the population and we have been working hard over the years to ensure that there are enough school places for every child who needs one. The schools in Enfield have supported the Council and together we have created a significant number of extra Reception places to meet the demand. It is very important that you take the high demand for places into account when you are making your applications. Many of the schools in Enfield receive more applications than there are places available. This booklet has information about the admission criteria for all of our schools and this will give you an idea of whether or not your child has a good chance of getting a place at a school you prefer. I would encourage you to make sure you use all your 6 preferences and apply for your nearest schools. Please remember that unless you are certain that your child will get a place at a particular school, you should apply for more than one school and list them in your order of preference. We hope that you will find the information in this booklet helpful and would like to wish your child every success at their primary school. If you need any further information or advice, please visit our website at www.enfield.gov.uk/admissions or contact the Enfield Schools Admission Service, telephone (020) 8379 5501.
