Editing Stevenage (section)

==Education==
Many schools were built in the 1950s/60s due to an influx of Londoners to affordable terraced housing in areas such as Shephall, Broadwater, Chells and St Nicholas. The town has around 23 primary schools (see below). Some go to the surrounding villages of [[Aston, Hertfordshire|Aston]], [[Benington, Hertfordshire|Benington]], [[Walkern]], [[Datchworth]] for their schooling. Stevenage also has a number of secondary schools and the central campus for North Hertfordshire College.
