About Us
Potley Hill Primary School caters for children from Reception (age 4 to 5) to Year 6 (age 11). Having been a 1 ½ form entry school, we are transitioning to a 1-form entry school where there will be 30 children in each year group.
Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard, and pupils have access to laptops and i-pads which are used to support their learning. The school also has the following:
- a recently refurbished and restocked school library, from which pupils can borrow a wide range of books
- a large food technology room where pupils regularly design and make their own food products
- a dedicated music room which is used for both class music lessons and peripatetic music lessons
- a 'double-decker London bus' which operates as our 'Nurture Nook' and is used for both ELSA sessions and nurture groups to support the emotional wellbeing of children
- two inner courtyards in the centre of our school which are used for different purposes, with one helping to support the sensory needs of pupils and the other containing a performance area with a small stage and bench seating
We are also fortunate to have large external grounds which include three playgrounds and two fields, which are used for playtimes and PE lessons, a pond and outdoor learning area which are used for outdoor learning sessions, together with a Community Orchard on school site.
Our school is located on a 50-acre wooded greenfield site in the Blackwater Valley on Frogmore Community Campus. We are the largest community campus in Hampshire and our site also includes:
- Potley Hill pre-school
- Frogmore Community College [11-18]
- Frogmore Leisure Centre (Everyone Active)
- Frogmore Care and Wellbeing Centre (Age Concern)
- 8th Bramshill Scouts
- Floodlit all-weather outdoor sports facilities
- Substantial on-site parking
