The Aymestrey School 50th Anniversary
50 years of Aymestrey School was marked by the presentation, by Old Boys and parents, of a new pavilion.

On Saturday 27 June 1959 the celebrations started with a buffet lunch in
a marquee on the playground, followed by a short service in the hall:
The boys were on the stairs, in the position they occupy for carols, and the rest of the congregation filled the hall and overflowed into the adjoining rooms.
