SCHOOLS.
School Closure. On no occasion during the year was a school closed
by the Local Sanitary Authority on account of the prevalence of Infectious
Disease amongst the scholars.
As in the case of the maintained schools, notice is given to the Head
Teachers of all independent schools in the event of the pupils suffering
from, or having been in contact with, Infectious Disease. The advice of
the Medical Officer of Health as to further action is available should this
be requested, and disinfection is provided when required.
Medical Inspection. Under the 1944 Education Act the Assistant
Medical Officer of the County Council continued to carry out routine
and special medical inspections of schoolchildren in the maintained
schools. This work is under the general supervision of the Medical
Officer of Health, in his capacity of Divisional School Medical Officer for
the Mid-Eastern Divisional Executive of the Surrey County Council.
Water Supply and Sanitary Conditions. All the schools are supplied
with water from the public mains and are connected with the sewers.
During the year it was found possible to redecorate many of the
schools, and generally the sanitary conditions are now better than at the
end of the war. Much work remains to be done, however, and with the
present shortage of materials and building facilities it is not possible to
make more rapid progress.

There are five dairies on the register but no loose milk was handled
at the premises.
During the year 7 visits of inspection were paid and conditions found
to be satisfactory.
