Tottenhall Infant School
About Tottenhall Infant School
Tottenhall Infant School’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2021, rated it Good overall, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all landing at Good. That’s a clear step up from its previous inspection in 2018, when the school was graded Requires Improvement across the board. For a state primary in Enfield, that trajectory matters. The local authority has 68 primary schools, and only nine of them hold an Outstanding rating, so Good is a solid, above-average position. The nearest Outstanding school, Bowes Primary, is 1.4 km away, which gives Tottenhall a practical edge for families who want a reliably rated school within walking distance. With 223 pupils against a capacity of 240, the school is running close to full, and its oversubscription data for 2025/26 tells a clear story: 84 applications for 38 places, with all 38 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That 2.21 oversubscription ratio shows genuine local demand.
