Head Teacher's Message

Welcome to Potton Primary School. The Roots (Reception–Year 3) and The Branches (Year 4–Year 6) share a spacious, well-resourced site; the school aims for outstanding educational experiences, high standards, and invites visits from prospective parents.

Curriculum Highlights

The National Curriculum is taught as the standard across the school. Year on a Page documents for EYFS through Year 6.

Admissions Criteria

Governing Body admissions criteria in rank order: looked after children and those who were previously looked after including those who appear to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be in state care as a result of adoption; children living in the catchment area with siblings at the school; children living in the catchment area; children living outside the catchment area with siblings at the school; other children. In cases of equal priority, distance from home to school is used as a tie-break. The school can admit pupils through the Fair Access Protocol if necessary, and disability considerations apply.
