York Historic Environment Record

The original school in Dringhouses opened in 1848. However, due to overcrowding by the end of the century, the school had to be moved. Thus Dringhouses School Board was formed in 1901 by order of the Board of Education and in the same year the management of the school was taken over by the Board. The new school building was designed by W. H. Brierley and was opened in 1904 on a site at the end of Mayfield Grove, adjacent to the railway. There was accommodation for 120 in the mixed school and 100 in the infants' school. Since then much of the building has been altered on the Mayfield Grove side with new, modern amenities being added. The primary school remains important to the local community and has aesthetic and historic value, being linked to a notable York architect.
