A secondary school will celebrate the completion of its ‘all through’ status this week after a multi-million pound investment.

Edmonton County School, in Little Bury Street, Edmonton, offers education for children aged four to 18 since it took its first primary school pupils last year.

There has also been a refurbishment of the existing sixth form block and replacement of an old design block with a three-storey new building.

Executive headteacher Dr Susan Tranter said: “The school is equipped to do a first class job. Our young children are settling in very well, enjoying their learning in superb surroundings. We are determined to see that every child who comes to Edmonton County gets the best from their education and we now have the facilities and staff to make it happen."

Cllr Ayfer Orhan, cabient member for school and children’s services, said: “Edmonton County took in the first primary pupils in January last year. By 2020 the primary phase will reach full capacity of 420 children.

“This is excellent one-stop education that can support children and their parents through every stage of their learning.”
