Background:

Aylburton School is a Church of England voluntary controlled school. It is a primary mixed day school for pupils aged between four to 11 years. The school is situated in Church Road, opposite St Mary's Church, a little over a mile from the town of Lydney. The area is ideal for environmental study being near to the Forest of Dean and River Severn. It is situated on the edge of the village and within a few yards of open countryside. The school buildings comprise a main block opened in 1870. This houses two good-sized classrooms, a hall with library area, a staff room, a kitchen and an administrative section. At playtimes the children use the adjoining playground, which is marked out for netball and football. In summer children use the grassed area at the side of the main building. The children participate in various sports activities throughout the year and enter local schools' competitions. Various after-school clubs are available including netball, football and choir. The school also arranges educational visits to enrich the curriculum. The school aims to provide high quality education, within the context of Christian faith and practice.
