Dinting Primary School aims to create a happy, secure, stimulating and challenging learning environment, in which each child can develop to their full potential. We believe our School is a very special place where children can enjoy their education and fulfil their potential. The original building dates from 1874 with an extension which was rebuilt in 2000.
As well as a hard play area the school has its own field, garden and a piece of natural woodland beside the river. We would like to invite you to visit us so you can see for yourself why our little school gets big results.
