What the school says

Laurel Park School: A small school with big ambitions

At Laurel Park School, every child is known, valued, and supported. As a thriving, community-focused secondary school in Palmers Green and Southgate, we offer an inclusive and ambitious education that nurtures both academic success and personal development.

We intentionally keep our school small, ensuring that each student is known by name and understood as an individual. Relationships are at the heart of what we do - our students support and inspire each other, creating a school where everyone feels a sense of belonging, purpose and pride.

An education that goes beyond the classroom

Our curriculum is designed to develop well-rounded, resilient learners prepared for the challenges of the modern world. We focus on four key pillars:

My curriculum – A broad and engaging range of academic and vocational subjects, ensuring that every student finds their passion and pathway. My character – A structured approach to personal development, fostering integrity, determination, excellence and ambition (IDEA). My culture – Celebrating diversity and global awareness, encouraging students to respect and embrace different perspectives. My community – Strengthening connections within the school and beyond, empowering students to make a difference in the world around them.

To enrich learning beyond the classroom, every student participates in at least two trips per year, ensuring that all young people - regardless of background - have access to new experiences and opportunities. These trips help students develop confidence, curiosity and cultural awareness while bringing learning to life.

Small in size, big in opportunity

We take pride in offering a personalised approach that helps students achieve their full potential. Whether through academic challenges, leadership opportunities or enrichment activities, every child at Laurel Park is encouraged to aim high and dream big.

Students develop strong friendships across year groups, creating a family-like atmosphere where respect, kindness and collaboration thrive. Our school culture is one of positivity, hard work and high expectations, with students who are happy, polite and eager to learn.

A sixth form that opens doors

In September 2024, we launched our vocational sixth form, providing a career-focused, industry-linked education for students across Laurel Park and neighbouring boroughs. This innovative pathway allows students to develop real-world skills, gain work experience and prepare for future success in a range of industries.

Join our community

At Laurel Park, we believe that education is about more than just exams - it’s about developing confident, responsible and ambitious young people who are ready to take on the world.

We invite you to come and see what makes Laurel Park School special - a place where students learn, persevere and succeed.
