UNISON has members working throughout the education system – Enfield has over 72 Primary schools and over 20 Secondary schools, not to mention the growing number of Schools that cater for children with special educational needs.

Stars in our Schools is an annual event held every November to celebrate the wonderful school support staff and their unique skills used to help pupils of all abilities.

We have an Education Convenor and an Education Caseworker within Enfield Unison who are available for assistance. A lot of schools also have Stewards and Health and Safety Reps within them who have invaluable skills to assist members. Email: office@enfieldunison.co.uk with any concerns or queries you have or if you are interested in becoming a workplace representative.
