Meet the team

We’re incredibly lucky to have a fantastic skilled and experienced staff team here at Dringhouses Primary.

Welcome to our amazing school

Ben Sutton, Headteacher at Dringhouses Primary School

Hi, and welcome to Dringhouses Primary School!

It’s my pleasure to introduce this amazing school, and all of the people here – an inspiring, friendly and dedicated set of learners, children and adults alike.

We’re a warm and welcoming community, where our staff, families, and children feel valued, looked after, and where learning is inclusive. We want our children to become great people – to succeed academically, socially, and to find things they love to do.

We’re outward-looking and our character values are very important across the whole of our school and wider community: curiosity, creativity, confidence, collaboration, and community-mindedness.  We always look to ensure equity of opportunity for all of our children, and see kindness as a fundamental value of our school.

We’re really proud of Dringhouses Primary, and we’d love to show you around – please feel free to get in touch and come for a visit!

  • Our children love Dringhouses School. They are learning loads and thriving. The school and teachers work hard to make learning fun. Their wonderful buddy system helps foster friendly relationships across the whole school. It’s a lovely little community.

  • My children (Reception and Year 3) are both very happy at Dringhouses Primary School and always excited to attend. As well as the school working hard in all areas of the curriculum there have also been lots of exciting and varied opportunities for the children, eg school trips and events.

  • Mrs Clarke is absolutely wonderful! Her music curriculum is adventurous, fun and inclusive. Her Latin lessons have inspired my children beyond my belief. She is calm, fair and such a positive role model, we’re very grateful for her input.
