A small school with a big heart

Welcome to Great Ponton Church of England School — a small school with a big heart, where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to shine. As Headteacher, I am immensely proud to lead a caring and committed team of staff who work tirelessly to ensure that each pupil flourishes academically, socially, and spiritually.

At Great Ponton, we believe that education is about far more than just lessons in the classroom; it is about nurturing the whole child. Our small size is our greatest strength — it allows us to build meaningful relationships, tailor learning to individual needs, and create a true sense of belonging. Every child here is an important part of our family, and together we grow in wisdom, compassion, and confidence.

Our Christian values are at the heart of everything we do. They guide our daily interactions, shape our decisions, and inspire our hopes for the future. We strive to provide an environment where children feel safe to take risks, to ask questions, and to learn from their experiences. Through encouragement, kindness, and high expectations, we aim to help our pupils develop a lifelong love of learning and a strong moral foundation.

Visitors to our school often comment on the warmth and friendliness of our community. It is something we cherish deeply. Whether you are a parent, a member of our community, or simply exploring what makes Great Ponton special, we hope you can feel the genuine care and joy that fill our classrooms, playgrounds, and corridors each day.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We hope it gives you a sense of the vibrant, nurturing, and faith-filled life of our school — a place where every child truly matters and where our motto, “A small school with a big heart,” is lived out in everything we do.

“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.”
