Our Sixth Form Philosophy

At Enfield County, our priority is helping our students prepare for life after Sixth Form. We believe in empowering students to become confident leaders and independent thinkers; we encourage our students to think creatively and responsibly. We provide a nurturing environment where academic excellence is matched by personal growth. Our approach fosters curiosity, encourages initiative and independence; we strive to highlight our students' brilliance and equip them with the skills and resources they need to succeed in whatever path they choose after Sixth Form.

Through a variety of workshops, visiting speakers, alumni students and one-to-one guidance, our students feel confident and supported when applying for University Degrees and Apprenticeships. Enrichment opportunities outside the classroom not only develop our students socially, emotionally and morally, but provide an excellent opportunity for our students to develop their initiative and independence.  At Enfield County Sixth Form we celebrate each individual's unique strengths. Through both collaborative and independent learning, we aim to inspire intellectual curiosity and a passion for lifelong learning.

Our Sixth Form Vision

Whether you have been with us for five years or just joining us, there is a sense of community and belonging to being part of the ‘Enfield County family’.  Our Sixth Form is a thriving, inclusive community where responsibility, respect and equality of opportunity are at the heart of everything we do. We aim to empower students to achieve their full potential, fostering co-operation and generosity of spirit to prepare students for meaningful and compassionate leadership in the future.
