According to information received from the London borough of Enfield two new schools have been built in Enfield North; Keys Meadow primary school (2003) and the Oasis Academy (2007). Lee Valley high school was rebuilt in 2005. A further three new schools have been built in the rest of the borough; West Grove primary school (1998), Starks Field primary school (2004) and Highlands secondary school (2000). Tottenham Infant school was rebuilt in 2004.

Enfield entered the Building Schools for the Future programme in autumn 2008. It is for Enfield to determine the pattern of school builds in consultation with the Department, Partnerships for Schools and the local community. Their strategy for change identifies five initial school projects—Gladys Aylward, Edmonton Country, Broomfield, Turin Grove and the Eldon Road Pupil Referral Unit.

The Oasis Academy Hadley, that replaced Albany school, opened in September 2009 and will move into new state-of-the art buildings in 2012.
