In recent decades the school building has been used for various community activities, however for the last ten years, its poor condition has prevented public access and regular use. LHBT has secured funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Architectural Heritage Fund to commission and oversee the delivery of an Options Appraisal, through which a solution for the buildings will be identified.The aim is to find an end use for the buildings that once again allows them to benefit the local community. To achieve this we’re working closely with Enfield Council, the Enfield Society, the Diocese of London, Learning for Life Charity, and West Lea School.
