Focus 1st Academy
London, Enfield, Greater London · N11 1BA
Focus 1st Academy is a small independent school in Enfield, north London, with around 74 pupils on roll and an intake notable for its high level of additional needs. Nearly two in five pupils are on SEN support, well above what most mainstream schools see, which shapes the school's character and its small-scale approach. With no religious affiliation and a mixed cohort, it is inspected by the ISI and admits pupils at 11. Headed by Ms Marina Savva, it occupies a particular niche rather than competing as a conventional academic school.

Teaching & academics
The headline attainment figures sit far below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 2.2 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils currently achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths. Mathematics and English Language are the most popular subjects, and GCSE is the qualification offered. Families considering the school should look closely at how these results align with the very high proportion of pupils on SEN support, and discuss expected outcomes directly with the school.
