Use our free interactive tool to check whether any Enfield property falls within primary or secondary school catchment zones. Enfield is one of London's largest boroughs by area, and catchment distances vary widely between the leafy west around Southgate and the denser east around Edmonton.
Free interactive map — enter any Enfield, Southgate, Palmers Green or Edmonton postcode and see exactly which catchment areas it falls within.
Schools around Southgate, Winchmore Hill and Grange Park are consistently the most oversubscribed in the borough, with short catchment distances and strong property premiums. Schools further east in Edmonton and Ponders End generally admit from a wider radius. A borough-wide average will mislead you.
Enfield Council is the admissions authority for community primary and secondary schools. After looked-after children, EHC-plan holders and siblings, places are usually allocated by straight-line distance from home to the school's measuring point.
The Latymer School in Edmonton is a partially selective grammar school with its own entrance examination — catchment distance is not the primary criterion there. Enfield also has numerous academies and faith schools that set their own arrangements.
Enfield Council publishes annual admissions statistics including the furthest distance offered at each oversubscribed school. Search 'Enfield school admissions statistics' on the Enfield Council website.
