Aylesford was a local authority-maintained, mixed-sex secondary school built on part of the land that made up RAF Warwick, which closed in 1946. The school first appears on an OS map of 1965 as Warwick Aylesford High School. On 1st January 2012 the school became an independent academy, now known as Aylesford School and Sixth Form College and maintained by grants from the Secretary of State for Education. The recent addition of a Primary School gives Aylesford the ability to be an 'All Through School'. Although a wide-angle view this photo is from the same viewpoint as the first 'geograph' for the SP2763 gridsquare, Image, taken by David Stowell in 2005. The school has clearly expanded. I was surprised to see that the Chase Meadow estate had already begun, on the left in the photos.
