Aycliffe Village School is a 4-11 County Primary situated in the south of County Durham.
The school draws children not only from the village itself but from surrounding farms and
villages and the north end of Darlington. Newton Aycliffe - a new town built in 1948 and the
largest town in the county - is a few minutes down the A167.
There has been a school in Aycliffe Village for over 100 years. In fact, the school celebrated its
100th anniversary in April 1998. The original school still exists and is now known as Aycliffe
Village Hall. The present school was opened in 1970 and occupies land behind the village hall.
The building is semi-open plan. A spacious hall in the centre of the school is flanked by two
classrooms used for Key Stage 1 and three classrooms for Key Stage 2. At present, the library
area is used as an extra classroom for Key Stage 1. Both parts of the school have fully
resourced
shared areas for activities such as art, craft, technology, I.T and group reading.
The school has extensive and beautiful grounds. There is a large field used for games and
playtimes in good weather; a safe, enclosed tarmac playground; a pond area and a well-
maintained garden for flowers, vegetables and wild plants.
The school has a reputation for providing good quality education and is well supported by
parents and friends. The school is proud of its links with local business and institutions which
help to provide the breadth of experiences needed for children growing up in the present
technological age.
