1. General.
Secondary Schools. Reference has been made in the last
few years to the growing awareness of the great variety of work
possible in Physical Education in Secondary Schools and
it is pleasing to note that the schools now provide systematic
training in the following major sports:—
Hockey, Tennis and Dancing.
As a result of the provision of these wider opportunities, the
children are leaving school with greater ability to employ their
leisure profitably and with a better appreciation of the virtues
of our National Games and Sports.
During the Easter vacation two Bromley Secondary Girls'
Schools demonstrated "Secondary School Gymnastics" at the
Annual Conference of the Ling Physical Education Association.
Primary Schools. The recent Ministry of Education publication
"Moving and Growing" which is Part I of the new
Physical Education Syllabus for Primary Schools, has been
welcomed by the schools, partly because it shows how well, in
five years of free experiment, the teachers have anticipated the
new conception of Primary work. It is pleasing to note that
several photographs in the book were taken at Bromley Schools;
the publication of the final section, Part II, is expected in 1953.
