girls between the ages of 10 and 16 years, to over 200 boys and girls up to 18
years of age. This has been made possible by transferring some classes to the
Technical Institute and a preparatory class (between 8 and 10 years of age).
Plans for considerable extension of the Hazelbury Road premises are under
consideration by the Governors.
The school year is divided into three terms of about thirteen weeks each.
The fees are £2 2s. 6d. per term, but special terms of £1 11s. 6d. are accepted
from parents who live in the ancient parish of Edmonton. The school has a
liberal supply of scholarships; besides those provided by the County Council,
there are also others which are provided by the ancient endowments, which
will increase in value as time goes on.
A precept of £50 for higher education was issued by the Council on the
Overseers on 24th March and again on 13th October.
It has been inspected during the year by the Board of Education, and a
very favourable report has been received.
In August notice was received from the Board of Education that the
County Council proposed to sell property in Hammersmith belonging to the
Latymer Foundation for the sum of £23,000.
