St Aidan’s Catholic Academy in Ashbrooke is made up of a series of buildings, including the main school that dates back to the 1960s,
And that’s a lot of history which gives us a great chance to look into the Sunderland Echo archives and look at some super St Aidan’s scenes.
Whether it was Sponge A Teacher Day, helping children at Christmas or welcoming a senior politician, we have reminders of it all.
