Meet the Team
Head of Education
Ben Billington
I am privileged and proud to have been appointed Head of Education at Potterspury Lodge School. I have almost twenty years of experience in education, in both mainstream and special needs settings, ranging from History Teacher, to Assistant Principal.
I think that the measure of any society can be judged how the most vulnerable are treated. I am a passionate believer in championing the most vulnerable people in society, and will do everything within my professional capacity to ensure that the students at Potterspury Lodge receive the best curriculum offer possible.
One of the biggest growth areas for the school, over the next few years, will be developing the personal curriculum pathways and preparing our students to be independent and ready for the world of work.
