Aycliffe School

Aycliffe School is an independent, purpose-built specialist school based at the North East Centre for Autism, Newton Aycliffe in County Durham for pupils aged 3-19


Working together to inspire, support, celebrate and equip autistic and neurodiverse people to fulfil their potential in life.

Class 3 had a fantastic visit to Aycliffe Fire Station to link in to their preparation for adulthood and travel training.

Everyone loved looking around the fire truck and asking loads of questions about all the different equipment. They also looked around the operations van which takes control of the fire.

Some of the questions asked were how many ladders are there and how big are they, how do you get people out of cars, and do you enjoy your job.
