Broomfield School is a secondary school in Wilmer Way, near the North Circular Road, in Arnos Grove in the London Borough of Enfield.
[edit] History
Arnos School was founded in 1938 at the school's current site and took on the senior pupils of Bowes School, which thus became exclusively a primary school. It later became a secondary modern school. Extensions were made to the original site in 1948, and 1957.
In 1960, Minchenden School took over the buildings in Fox Lane, Palmers Green that had been vacated by the move of Southgate County School to its current site in Sussex Way, Cockfosters.[1]
The Arnos School buildings were further extended in 1964, and 1966. It became a comprehensive school in 1967 with the feeder schools Bowes, Garfield, Oakthorpe, Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic, and St. Michael's Church of England primary schools, and some further extensions were made in 1967, 1969, and 1972.
In 1984,[2] Arnos School and Minchenden School were merged to form a new school, located at the Arnos School premises, and named Broomfield School.[1]
Broomfield is still a comprehensive school, and recently received designation as a specialist Humanities college.
