Kingsmead School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located on Southbury Road in Enfield, Greater London, England. It operates as an academy and caters for students aged 11 to 18.[1]
The school was established in 1967. In October 2010 it converted to academy status, having previously been a community school administered by Enfield London Borough Council. In 2006, Kingsmead was designated a specialist college in the performing and visual arts.[1] In 2004, it was part of a sanctions scheme where children were sent as a punishment to Lea Valley Academy, rather than being temporarily excluded.[2] The school also had a behaviour improvement programme manager, and Ofsted said that "they had seen nothing in any other school to equal Kingsmead's work on behaviour".[2]
Enrolment
The school has approximately 1,450–1,560 students on roll, operating at or near full capacity.[3]
Academic performance and curriculum
Kingsmead offers a broad academic programme, including GCSEs and A-Levels, with particular emphasis on EBacc subjects and the arts. In 2017, its A-Level outcomes ranked in the top 4% nationally.[4] The most recent Ofsted inspection (April 2022) rated the school as "Good", praising its ambitious curriculum, high standards of behaviour, and strong pastoral support.[1]
Sixth form
It offers a range of A-Level courses, including subjects often unavailable in smaller schools, such as Music, Music Technology, French, Spanish, and a Computer Science course.
