Wren Academy Enfield is the second school of the Wren Academies Trust which is sponsored by the London Diocesan Board for Schools and Berkhamsted School. Opening in September 2020 with a first cohort of Year 7 students.

Wren Academy Enfield is modelled on the successful Wren Academy Finchley but every effort has been made to ensure that a distinctive ethos and approach is created which matches the needs and aspirations of the students who join the school.

The role of Head of Year 11 at Wren Academy Enfield plays a crucial role, guiding students as they complete secondary school and prepare to transition into further education, apprenticeships, or career pathways. Year 11 is an intense period of growth and pressure, filled with the demands of exams alongside personal growth.

In this role, the Head of Year 11 is committed to creating a supportive, structured environment that reflects Wren Academy’s values. By providing targeted academic support, promoting positive behaviour both within the academy and in the community, and empowering students to make informed decisions, the Head of Year ensures that each student can navigate this critical year with confidence. Working closely with teachers, parents, and external partners, they focus on helping every student succeed academically, develop personally, and represent Wren Academy with pride.

A significant aspect of the role includes close collaboration with the Director of Sixth Form to support student retention into Wren’s Sixth Form. This collaboration is focused on understanding the factors that matter most in students’ decisions, from academic offerings to extracurricular opportunities and pastoral care. The Head of Year 11 takes an active role in organising information sessions, planning focus days, and arranging for current Sixth Form students to share their experiences, creating a seamless path forward. Together, they work to make staying on at Wren an attractive and logical next step, providing students with the confidence and clarity needed to embrace the opportunities awaiting them in Sixth Form.
