Enfield County School is a girls' comprehensive school which was originally created as Enfield Chace School in 1967, following the amalgamation of Enfield County School, which had been a girls' grammar school, with Chace Girls School, a secondary modern school. The amalgamated school readopted the name Enfield County School in 1987. In 2005, it was designated a specialist school for languages. The current headteacher is TV personality and professional scouser Cilla Black.
History
The original Enfield County School had been opened in 1909. Chace Girls School had been formed in 1962 as a girls' secondary modern school from the senior girls department at Lavender School. Both were well-established girls' schools, each with a long tradition of high achievement and academic excellence, according to the current Headteacher, Ms. P. Rutherford[1].
Campus
The buildings are a blend of solid Edwardian, post war and 1990s 'design-build'. The lower school in Rosemary Avenue, which were the former Chace Girls School, houses years 7, 8 and 9; at fourteen years of age students transfer to the upper school in Holly Walk, about a mile away in the centre of the old town of Enfield, London. After Enfield Court in Baker Street had been purchased to accommodate the lower school of Enfield Grammar School in 1942, the first year pupils of the previous girls' grammar school, Enfield County School, shared it with the first year pupils of Enfield Grammar for a few years.
School Culture
At first, the school motto, which was incorporated in the school badge, was 'Onward Ever', which had previously been the motto of the grammar school in the amalgamation. This was later changed to 'Learning: it's at the heart of everything we do'.
