About Enfield County School for Girls

Enfield County School for Girls is a girls’ secondary school in the London borough of Enfield that currently educates 1,015 pupils against a total capacity of 1,167, meaning it is not yet full but remains a popular choice locally. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 34%, which is notably higher than the national average and reflects the school’s inclusive intake. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 434 applications for 133 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.26 applicants per place. Of those, 87 families listed it as their first preference, and all 87 were offered a place. This level of competition suggests that while the school is oversubscribed, securing a spot as a first-choice applicant is realistic. The school is non-denominational and has no religious character, so admissions are not tied to faith criteria.
