I'd like to take this chance to welcome you to our website and everything the Potton Federation has to offer our students and their parents. Relationships are incredibly essential to us, and the ones we build with our kids, their families, our community, and the rest of the world help us foster a welcoming, warm, and joyful culture for everyone. The wellbeing of our students is our top priority, and everyone feels engaged, supported, and successful in our schools. The contented child is likely to be the happiest, and we want students to enjoy their time with us above all else. Learning itself ought to be engaging and demanding. We have academic standards that are unapologetically high because we genuinely believe that there is no ceiling on achievement and that every child is capable of realising their full potential. You are welcome to visit either of our schools, where our students will be delighted to show you around and introduce you to them while they learn together.
