Our views

In this section, AHS staff and students share their stories of migration.

Here at Aylsham High School, we have many students and staff who have lived in other countries. Some have migrated to the UK from their country of birth; others have migrated back to the UK after living abroad for an extended period. We asked our teachers to tell us about their experiences so we can learn more about the impact of migration and how our place of birth shapes our identity.
