Edmonton County School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Edmonton County School?
Edmonton County School is a special school in London, Enfield, and it does not use a standard catchment area. Enfield allocates places through each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) rather than home-to-school distance, so placement depends on assessed need rather than a geographic boundary.
Admission to Edmonton County School follows a different process from mainstream schools. Enfield assesses each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to determine appropriate placement. Catchment area does not apply in the same way as mainstream admissions.
For more information on how Enfield assesses EHCP placements and which schools are named, contact the council's SEND team directly. The council must publish its Local Offer explaining available provision.
