Laurel Park is still a comprehensive school and in 2008 received designation as a specialist humanities college. It was, at one time, one of the largest secondary schools in the Borough of Enfield, due to its location near the borders of the neighbouring boroughs of Haringey and Barnet, but since the development of Alexandra Park School in Haringey in 2003, it has steadily lost pupils from its feeder primary schools. |

Laurel Park School, formerly Broomfield School, is a comprehensive secondary school located in Arnos Grove, Enfield, Greater London, which resulted from a merger of Arnos School and Minchenden School. The school is entirely located on the old Arnos School site.
History
[edit]Arnos School was founded in 1938 on Broomfield School's current site and took on the senior pupils of Bowes School, which became solely a primary school. It later became a secondary modern school. Extensions were made to the original site in 1948 and 1957.
In 1960, Minchenden School took over the buildings in Fox Lane, Palmers Green that had been vacated by the move of Southgate County School to its current site in Sussex Way, Cockfosters.[2]
The Arnos School buildings were further extended in 1964 and 1966. It became a comprehensive school in 1967 with the feeder schools Bowes, Garfield, Oakthorpe, Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic, and St. Michael's Church of England primary schools, and some further extensions were made in 1967, 1969, and 1972. In 1984,[3] Arnos School and Minchenden School were merged to form a new school, located at the Arnos School premises and named Broomfield School.[2]
Laurel Park is still a comprehensive school and in 2008 received designation as a specialist humanities college. It was, at one time, one of the largest secondary schools in the Borough of Enfield, due to its location near the borders of the neighbouring boroughs of Haringey and Barnet, but since the development of Alexandra Park School in Haringey in 2003, it has steadily lost pupils from its feeder primary schools.
An Ofsted inspection in October 2011 judged the school to be inadequate and placed it into special measures. A new leadership group was appointed to turn the school around, and, in 2013, the school came out of special measures. In May 2015, the school was judged by Ofsted to be a 'good' school.[4] As of 2023[update], the school's most recent inspection was in 2021, with an outcome of Requires Improvement.[5]
The local authority closed its sixth form provision due to falling numbers, after the school had spent a substantial amount of money developing a new sixth form block. The school then worked with other schools in the borough to develop a multi-school campus, on which four schools are located: Bowes Southgate Green Primary School, which opened in 2014 and takes two forms of entry; West Lea School, which provides additional resourced provision to support children with special needs in a mainstream setting; the sixth form of Winchmore School; and Laurel Park Secondary School itself.[6]
School rebranding
[edit]In January 2023, the headteacher told MyLondon that she was planning a rebrand of the school for September 2023.[7] She said that this is because "'This school at times in its history has had a poor reputation within the community'".[7]
