[edit] History
It was founded in 1927 as Higher Grade School at Raynham School, and in 1967 it moved to a new building in Wilbury Way, was made a comprehensive school, and changed its name to Weir Hall School. From that year until 1972, the lower school was in the buildings of the former Hazelbury Secondary Modern School. It then moved to the present building in Windmill Road. It was then renamed Aylward School after Gladys Aylward, who grew up in Cheddington Road,Edmonton, London, and in September 2006 it received its present name.[1]
[edit] Special measures
This school became subject to Special Measures in May 2006.[2]
[edit] Motto
The school motto is 'Success is Desirable and Achievable – Always Learning – Learning in All Ways', but, because this is so long, it is shortened to 'Where success is desirable & achievable' on the badge.[3]
