About Wren Academy Enfield
Wren Academy Enfield is a Church of England secondary school in the London borough of Enfield that is clearly in high demand among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 872 applications for just 179 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4. 87. Of those applications, 248 were first-preference choices, and 165 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition suggests that parents are actively choosing Wren Academy over other options in the area. The school is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in November 2022, with Good marks across all four key areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. With 918 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,220, the school is not yet at full capacity, which may reflect its relatively recent establishment or ongoing expansion.
