All 3 of our boys were lucky enough to have Mr Aylett as their teacher at Marshgate and we are so grateful for that.  We can honestly say there was never a day they didn’t want to go to school when they had him.  He gave them such a love of maths that will continue on through their lives.  He inspired them and encouraged them to have a curiosity about subjects, to use their creativity to find solutions and to just have fun solving problems.  He was always so positive about everything he taught and gave the boys confidence in themselves.  He made all the children laugh and smile and had endless patience for all the questions the children had.  At parents social events he was always so much fun and always put everyone at ease.  

We can’t even begin to imagine how much his lovely wife Kate, sons Casper and Archie will miss him but please know that he will never be forgotten by the many people whose lives he touched while teaching at Marshgate.

Rest in Peace.
