Welcome to Enfield County School for Girls, a well-established split-site school in the centre of Enfield with a tradition of high achievement and academic success.

Our aim is for every girl to have an outstanding education which will equip her with the resilience to deal with the demands that life makes of her and enable her to take her place in society as a well-educated, confident, caring and compassionate young woman.

Enfield County School for Girls' values of: Respect, Responsibility, Equality, Cooperation and Generosity support our nurturing ethos.  A strong sense of purpose, shared by teachers, support staff and governors ensures these values continue to develop and imbue all aspects of school life.

We have high expectations of all of our students, including excellent standards of behaviour, crucial to a successful learning environment.  Our culturally diverse student body enriches the life of Enfield County School for Girls, making it a vibrant and exciting place to learn which I am proud to lead.

We look forward to working in partnership with you and welcome you to visit our school to experience all that Enfield County has to offer.

Ofsted Report

“Leaders, managers and the governing body have a deep insight into the school’s many strengths and few areas for improvement. The highly effective headteacher and her leadership team are very well regarded by students, staff and parents and carers.
