Ayres started school when she was six.
Her parents, a prosperous couple, sent her to Ibstock, a progressive school in Roehampton run on Fröbel principals.
In 1941 Ayres was sent to Colet Court, the junior school for St Paul's, in Hammersmith, where on her eleventh birthday she finally learnt to read.
She passed the entrance exam for St Paul's Girls ' School the following year.
Ayres left school in order to study art as soon as she was able.
In 1946, she applied to the Slade School of Fine Art and was accepted.
However, at sixteen, she was too young to enrol.
She was advised to apply to the Camberwell School of Art and studied there from 1946 to 1950.
