About schools in Enfield
Enfield lists 108 schools, most of them primary schools. Its 18 secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. The area also has three all-through schools, which teach every age from the early years to school-leaving age on one site.
Ofsted inspects every school listed here. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.

Common questions about schools in Enfield
- How many schools does Enfield have?
- OfferDay lists 108 schools in Enfield, including 68 primary schools and 18 secondary schools.
- Who inspects schools in Enfield?
- Every school in Enfield is inspected by Ofsted. Newer reports grade several areas of a school separately on a report card, while older reports carry a single overall grade, so check the framework and the date on each page before you compare two schools.
- How are schools in Enfield ranked?
- OfferDay ranks an area's schools only where enough of them have published results to compare fairly, and Enfield does not have enough to rank. Compare its schools on their Ofsted reports and, where results are published, the figures shown against each school on this page.
- How many towns are in the Enfield local authority?
- OfferDay groups the Enfield schools across six towns, listed in the schools-by-town section on this page. Any school with no town recorded in the national register is listed separately, grouped by phase, so every school in the local authority is reachable.
