At Potterhanworth, we strive to be a caring school family where everyone belongs.

We inspire joyful learning and high aspirations so that all can thrive.

We aim to open our hearts and minds so that each person can make a positive difference in our local community and beyond.

Together, we grow into happy, responsible and spiritually aware citizens for our changing world.

“Rooted in God’s love, we learn, grow and flourish.” (Ephesians 3:17–19)

 

Our Church School is distinctive because:

  • Everyone in our school values themselves and others through its Christian foundation and ethos.
  • We work hard to make strong links between our school, our homes, our church and our community.
  • We care about the spiritual development of everyone in our school family.
  • We enjoy our worship together as part of our daily school life.
  • We promote positive self-esteem and we take pride in achieving our maximum potential.
  • We develop enquiring minds and an active spirit of curiosity.
  • We develop a sense of responsibility and care, empathy and respect for others.
  • We achieve high standards in our personal growth and in all areas of the curriculum.
  • We strive to become self-motivated, independent, life-long learners.

Within the context of Christian belief and practice, we provide quality education encompassing the whole of the school curriculum and school life.  We encourage an understanding of the meaning and importance of faith.

Our vision is woven through the day-to-day life of the school and our values underpin everything we do. The impact of this supports our children’s attitudes and responses towards others and the world around them. 

As a Church School, it is important to emphasise that all our teachers are able to deliver our Religious Education Curriculum.  If needed, our reserve teachers are:

  • Mr Ben Kennedy - Headteacher
  • Miss Megan Woodcock - RE Subject Lead
