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, formed 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.
