Our Vision
At Enfield Heights Academy, we believe that a strong sense of community and shared values are the foundation of a successful and happy school.

We want our children to feel happy, safe, and supported while they learn, and we want to create an environment where every child can flourish and reach their full potential.
Our Values
Our values underpin this vision and provide a set of guiding principles for how we behave and interact with each other. We encourage our children to live and breathe these values in their daily lives, both in and out of school. Our values were created through a collaborative process involving our pupils and staff.
