About Enfield Grammar School

Enfield Grammar School is a popular choice among local families, with 502 applications for 172 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.92. Of those, 105 first-preference offers were made, reflecting strong demand for this boys' state secondary. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2024, confirmed it 'remains Good' — a rating it has held consistently since its last graded inspection in September 2018, where it also scored Good across leadership, sixth-form provision and overall effectiveness. With 30.2 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse intake, and its size of 1,025 pupils sits just below its capacity of 1,111. For parents weighing up options, the combination of high demand and a stable Ofsted record suggests a school that local families trust and actively choose.
