Children born between 1 September 2007 and 31 August 2008 will transfer to secondary school in September 2019

This brochure provides an introduction to Enfield’s secondary schools and the wide range of learning opportunities that they offer. We are very proud of our schools in Enfield, which all provide high quality education, outstanding facilities and a range of sporting, musical and extracurricular activities delivered by committed and enthusiastic staff and underpinned by strong leadership. Selecting the right secondary school for your child is an important and exciting step and you need to gather as much information as possible to help you make the right decisions. Schools hold an open evening and many offer the opportunity to visit during the school day. Please take advantage of these opportunities, you will be welcomed and you will have the chance to speak to students and staff, to hear from the headteacher or principal and to ask questions. Also, take time to look at school websites and pick up a copy of their prospectus. Transferring from primary to secondary school is a big step for both children and parents. We hope you find the information in this brochure helpful and we wish your child every success for the future. Enfield Schools Admission Service

1 Definition of brother: each of two or more children having one or both parents in common.

2 Definition of parent: Section 576 of the Education Act 1996 defines ‘parent’ to include: • All natural parents, whether they are married or not; and • Any person who, although not a natural parent, has parental responsibility for a child or young person. 3 Parental responsibility is defined in the Children Act 1989. If the parents of a child were not married to each other when the child was born, the mother automatically has parental responsibility but the father does not, even if he is named on the birth certificate. He can, however, subsequently acquire parental responsibility by various legal means.
