Wren Enfield

Wren Finchley is quite near us. Some of neighbours sent their girls there. They were quite happy. They did though change for Sixth Form to more academic schools.

Wren believes in total control as has already been suggested above, a reaction to the problems at the predecessor school which had to be closed. The academic focus is on league tables and ticking Ofsted boxes. So you may need to supplement with wider reading, family excursions and discussions at home.

Hiya
Also interested in Wren Enfield.
Does anyone have information on the quality of the education/teachers etc?

Hi OP. I don’t have direct experience (my own DD is only 4), but I live in the area and have several friends with DC at Wren, and others who considered it but opted to apply elsewhere. And obviously we’re looking ahead for our own DD too (trying to weigh up whether we may need to move for secondary).

From everything I’ve heard, Wren is a good school, but one of those places where you need to be fully on board with the ethos - both the faith aspect and the super strict behaviour policy. Liberal and laissez-faire it isn’t!

I know that some of the latest Year 7 were quite taken aback by how strict it was, and a couple have since jumped ship to Highlands, which is seen as a bit more laid back. Some parents were also put off by the open evening, which apparently focused almost exclusively on rules/behaviour. Others rave about it though, so your DC just needs to be the right fit I think!
