I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Southbury Primary School on behalf of the staff.
Eastern Enfield's Southbury is a successful, multi-cultural, two-form entrance primary school that is conveniently located near the M25 and A10.
We are a two-form entry school with fourteen classes, including a nursery, and 480 students enrolled overall.
In order for every student who attends our school to realise their full potential in a setting that is secure, joyful, and nurturing, we want all of our staff members and parents to collaborate.
We want them to graduate from Southbury with the assurance that they can succeed in secondary education and beyond.
It is essential for children to have the finest start to their school careers in order to do this, and at Southbury, we strive to provide them with just that.
