           Student Leadership Opportunities in Enfield Community College
                                              At Enfield Community College, we endeavour to include our 
                                              students in the day to day life of our college. The student 
                                              council provides a positive role in the effective running of a 
                                              school. Students provide a valuable contribution through 
                                              communication, planning and organisational skills which will be 
                                              of benefit to them in their future.

    acceptable solutions together.

    community by fundraising and supporting local causes.
    •We promote friendship and respect among pupils.
