This site is administered by both the Affetside Millennium Green Trust and the Affetside Society Affetside Primary's Sixth School Reunion     Six years ago marked the emotional closure of Affetside's village primary school after a long  battle to keep the school open. Protesters, who pursued their cause all the way to the Court of Appeal of the High Court in London, lost their fight, but vowed to hold an annual outdoor  reunion at the school's outdoor  classroom, the Affetside Millennium  Green. Campaigner and villager, Joanne  Wilcock, alongside other villagers such as Roseanne and Tony Davies, has worked  unceasingly to retain the school's  memory and to maintain village links and cohesion in the small hilltop community.   The Affetside Society, in the wake of the  school's demise, is providing free  refreshments for any ex-staff, pupils,  villagers or friends of Affetside Primary  School who wish to attend the reunion,  which will be held on its usual date of 17th July at 4pm, come rain or shine. All are welcome to celebrate old friendships and to commemorate the special place the school held at the heart of the Affetside community. Affetside Village school past & present will form the basis of this page. We are a little short of information at  present, but this page will evolve over time as more  people contribute to it. See below for school reunion  details.
