Schools

Enfield's first two School Streets went into operation on Monday 24th February. Photographs taken on that day in Tile Kiln Lane show pupils from Oakthorpe School strolling along in the middle of the road, free of the usual daily noise, noxious emissions and danger from cars.

Parents of children at Bowes Southgate Green school are planning to protest on Friday about Enfield Council's failure to provide assurances about securing a permanent home for the school.

Enfield Council has notified its intention to create 'school streets' for two primary schools - Oakthorpe in Palmers Green and St Monica's in Southgate.

The October newsletter issued by Fox Lane & District Residents' Association (FLDRA) includes an update on provision of primary school places, with especial reference to the question of how long Bowes Southgate Green School (BSG) will continue to take new reception pupils.

Enfield Learning Trust has agreed to continue taking reception pupils at Bowes Southgate Green School for at least one more year.
