Celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Pupils and staff at Aycliffe School enjoyed a special Platinum Jubilee Party on the last day of half term.

Pupils enjoyed singing and dancing before having an indoors picnic, while Principal Kirsty Carr also presented all of our young people with a commemorative jubilee medal.

Incredibly, the pupils also received a very special letter from Her Majesty the Queen, after writing to the palace to tell the Queen about the school's plans.
