Albany School, which is in Bell Lane, adjacent to Albany Park, was opened as a coeducational secondary modern school in 1939, and was converted to a comprehensive school in 1974. It closed in 2009 and there is a new academy, Oasis Academy Hadley, that was opened by the Oasis Trust on the site. However, it is also planned that the academy should move to Ponders End in 2012.
