close liaison is maintained with the Tottenham schools to ensure the
correct orientation of the children's studies. The school also receives
valuable help from the Tottenham Library Service in the provision of
books for both educational and recreational purposes.
At Christmas projects were carried out in individual wards. In one a
Robin Hood theme was developed with help from the Independent
Television Authority who loaned the "props" from their Robin Hood
programme, while in another a Circus theme was developed and the
children were delighted by the visit of two clowns from the Circus.
Appreciation is due to the Hospital staff without whose ready cooperation
the scheme could not work successfully. The children appear
to welcome the school and many parents have expressed their appreciation."
