Potterhanworth Church of England Primary School
Welcome
Welcome to Potterhanworth Church of England Primary School. We hope that your child will settle quickly at Potterhanworth and we will have a happy and successful partnership between home and school.
Education is a shared responsibility and we look forward to you and your child becoming involved in our school community. Being at school is an exciting time, and we look forward to sharing and valuing your child’s successes as they progress through the school. We pride ourselves on our nurturing approach which supports our children’s overall development, and we are keen to work together.
Our Village School
We are a small school situated in the centre of an attractive rural village. The school was provided for the children of the village by a former Rector, the Rev Ansom, in the 19th Century. The buildings are a mixture of Victorian and modern buildings. Two of the classrooms were opened in November 2002 with modern cloakrooms, toilets and entrance area. A further extension was completed in 2010 to increase the teaching area. 2015 saw the completion of an additional classroom, built for us by Christ’s Hospital Endowment (a charity in the village).
Our village pre-school came under school Governance in September 2018. They occupy purpose built premises on the school site, with an abundance of outdoor space.
In addition to the education of each pupil, there are a range of personal and social advantages for the child who grows up in a small, friendly community:
- There is an excellent relationship between school
staff, parents and other members of the village
including close relationships with the St Andrew’s
Church, the parish council and Christ’s Hospital
Endowment Trust. - A caring, family atmosphere is encouraged, which supports the child as they develop.
- Children across the key stages, learn to work,
respect and co-operate with each other
