About Potton Primary School

Potton Primary School sits within Central Bedfordshire, a local authority with 95 primary schools, where it ranks 22nd on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the middle of the pack, some way behind the top-performing local peers — Lark Rise Academy, Totternhoe Church of England Academy and Raynsford Church of England Academy — but comfortably ahead of the bottom third of schools in the area. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery provision. It has a capacity of 420 pupils and currently enrols 390, meaning it is not yet full. The headteacher is Jordana Watts, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2025, rated it Good across all five graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That continues a pattern of Good ratings stretching back to its previous inspection in 2010.
