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.
