Frederick Bremer School opened in September 2008 as a Specialist Engineering College, replacing Warwick School for Boys and Aveling Park School. The school, which is named after local inventor Frederick William Bremer, officially opened on 29 April 2009.

The school

Frederick Bremer School currently has a six form intake for children aged 11–16 (years 7-11) The Headteacher is Ms R Woodward. There has been much change in the senior staff of the school since its opening three years ago. There are over 800 students, and even though the school is an engineering school, it has quickly earned a reputation for an excellent sports selection. Both football and cricket leagues have been won by Bremer, and the cricket team placed 4th in London. Frederick Bremer School runs a 'OneCard' system (similar to an Oyster card)that is also used in other Waltham Forest schools and council services. The card is used to pay for lunch and school trips with top-up machines near to the entrance of the school.
