Parent Voice - Have Your Say
We use parent and carer surveys to gather feedback that helps us improve the education we provide. The responses show how satisfied families are, what we are doing well, and where we need to develop, especially for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
This feedback helps us review our teaching, communication, and support systems, and it guides decisions about our curriculum, pastoral care, and wider school services. Some surveys include questions similar to Ofsted’s to help us benchmark our performance.
Parents and carers play an important role by sharing their experiences, concerns, and suggestions. For SEND, the feedback often highlights where staff may need extra training, such as in communication or understanding pupils’ needs.
Overall, the surveys help us plan and improve our services, so they are more effective, inclusive, and responsive to our school community.

The school has effective procedures in place to deal with bullying. Bullying is a rare occurrence at Tottenhall Infant School. It appears that some families may not be aware of how we manage bullying. Please see our bullying policy on the school website. https://www.tottenhall.enfield.sch.uk/Policies-03032025142940/ |

The survey results indicate that some parents are unsure about what their child will be learning, the school’s expectations, and the subjects being taught. Parents can find this information through regular curriculum meetings held each term, which outline what children will be learning. We also arrange termly parent consultation meetings to discuss individual progress. Additionally, parents are always welcome to request a meeting with their child’s class teacher for further information. The school website is also a useful resource/platform for parents to explore and learn more about the curriculum offered at Tottenhall. https://www.tottenhall.enfield.sch.uk/ |

What You Said
"My child enjoys coming to school and I see no concerns when she leaves school happy at the end of the day. Thank you to all the staff."
"Thank you for your support and for making it easy for my child to be more confident and strong and good behaved."
"We are very content with our child's progress and developing social skills. Our daughter feels accepted and stimulated."
Not only has Tottenhall supported my daughter with her Special Educational Needs, but they have also supported me as a parent navigating SEND for the first time. My daughter has flourished beyond measure thanks to the school's dedication, and I am deeply grateful for their unwavering support, care and kindness.
One parent captured the views of many parents and carers in saying: ‘This is a nurturing and caring school.’

What We Could Be Doing Even Better
- Provide consistent communication and accessible opportunities for parents to stay informed about their child’s learning and progress.
- Signpost parents to information about how Tottenhall Infant School tackles bullying. You can view our Anti-Bullying Policy here.
- Provide further opportunities to discuss children’s progress with parents and carers.
