Suffolks Primary School
Enfield Council is consulting on the proposed closure of Suffolks Primary School due to falling pupil numbers.
Enfield Council's Cabinet decided in October 2026 to consult on the proposed closure of Suffolks Primary School. This decision, which also includes two other schools, was made due to falling pupil numbers and increased demand for Special Educational Needs provision. The council has allocated funds for the consultation process.
The proposed closure of Suffolks Primary School is scheduled for discussion at the Enfield Overview & Scrutiny Committee meeting on 3 November 2026. This meeting will be part of the ongoing consultation process initiated by the council's Cabinet.
Suffolks Primary School is one of three schools in Enfield facing potential closure as part of a consultation addressing a borough-wide decline in pupil numbers. The council's Cabinet cited this decline and the need for SEN provision as reasons for the consultation.
