The purpose of the assessment is to both assess ability and the candidate’s capacity to learn or develop sporting skills and benefit from the opportunities at Enfield Grammar School, such as competing in midweek and Saturday fixtures at National, County and locally which have given us impressive levels of success in recent years .
Places will be awarded following assessment of the pupils’ aptitude by the School’s sports staff.
Consideration will be given to candidates that demonstrate an exceptional sporting aptitude in the major sports played at the school. Written references may be asked for in the case of appeal but places are awarded on the performances demonstrated on the day.
