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.

“The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
