Sitting in the northeast of Coventry, Potters Green is a mainly residential suburb within the West Midlands. On Ordnance Survey maps the name appears as Potter’s Green. The area is well connected to the wider city through Ringwood Highway, the primary route for through traffic, which links Woodway Lane – the longest road in the suburb – with Wigston Road and Deedmore Road. The nearby M6 motorway puts Potters Green within easy reach of the broader regional road network.
Local Amenities and Nearby Facilities
Potters Green has a modest range of everyday amenities, including several shops, a post office, and a number of takeaway outlets. Two pubs sit close to a patch of waste ground that is used for Sunday League football at weekends. There is no leisure centre within the suburb itself, though the NDC leisure centre – opened in March 2009 – is close by. Large commercial businesses are absent from Potters Green, but the Alderman’s Green industrial estate lies nearby for those seeking employment or services in that sector.

Potters Green Primary School serves younger children, while Grace Academy – formerly known as Woodway Park School – and Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School cater to older pupils.
