St John’s Senior School, Enfield

School extension
1836D SJSS
St John’s is a private co-educational school for children from age 4 to 18 situated on two parkland campuses totalling 23 acres on the Ridgeway between Enfield and Potters Bar in the Green Belt north west of London.

In a further phase of the improvement of the senior school campus following the creation of new state of the art changing rooms on the north side of the sports hall, a Study Centre is planned for the north side of the sports hall. The new double-volume space is accessed from a ramped approach through the existing trees sheltering North Ride, a route from the former stables into the Chase. A veranda, replicating that to the new changing rooms, shelters this upper level access from the south sun and inclement weather, and provides support for a 36kw array of solar photovoltaic panels to offset fossil fuel use.

Planning permission was secured in June 2021, enabling works were carried out in July 2022, and STF are currently preparing working details and a tender package for a mid-2025 commencement on site.
