About West Lea School
Welcome to West Lea School, an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they come from. Catering for students aged 4-19 with special educational needs, our four campuses – Meridian, Haselbury, Learning for Life and Horizon – equip children with a ‘suitcase’ of skills to help them progress on to further education and into the world of work. While the world provides many obstacles, we believe in tearing down walls and encourage each individual to reach beyond their realities, take risks and above all, believe in themselves.
As a part of a strong community, we are a group of people who work together to help each other, both socially and professionally. What makes a community strong is its agreement towards a common goal. ‘Learning without barriers’ is at the heart of everything we do, and our values are directly linked to all the work and support that goes on throughout the school community. We are a place of opportunity for growth and experience.
Promoting innovation, independence, kindness and inclusion, we want our students to leave West Lea in a position where they feel confident, not only in their academic abilities, but in themselves too. Working together, there is never a shortage of opportunities for our children to strive for greatness.
As part of this, West Lea is proud to be a member of The Enterprise Cooperative Trust (ECT) – a partnership of likeminded schools, charities, community groups and businesses, providing a holistic education which goes beyond academic achievement. Enterprise Cooperative Trust has a collective vision to improve education and life opportunities for all children and young people in Enfield. It challenges the ‘status quo’ by drawing on the expertise of the local community and neighbouring organisations to help our children flourish in the working world, both now and into the future.
With caring teachers and support staff, we offer a safe, secure learning environment and meet the daily pastoral and academic needs of all our pupils.
At West Lea School, we see ourselves as one big family. We help mainstream schools in the area by offering interim respite to those who need it and a school place for the few who cannot cope within a mainstream setting.
West Lea School is all about innovation, and as such, we are constantly evolving! The only true way to see what we can offer is by coming to see us and discovering why we believe you should make ‘our’ school, ‘your’ school. We have an open-door policy and would love to meet you.
