children is out of all proportion to their numbers, and there is danger
of considerable deterioration in standards as they move through the
schools.
The Education Committee recommend to the Middlesex Education
Committee as a matter of urgency:
(1) The setting up of two immigrant reception classes, one at
North Harringay Infant School and one at South Harringay Infant School,
as a pilot scheme for the Summer Term. In these classes it is
hoped that the newly admitted children could have the concentrated
attention of an experienced teacher for some weeks, and that during
this period an attempt would be made to make frequent contact with
parents especially on health matters. The School Medical Officer and
his staff would be closely involved.
(2) The appointment of three additional welfare assistants.
(3) The appointment of three additional school meals supervisors.
