Act, 1903, that the school was not of a local character, and the
school was thereupon withdrawn from the group to which it was
attached, and a separate body of Managers appointed therefor.
The County Council has appointed, as Managers of the school,
the persons who were Managers of the group to which the school
was formerly attached—Bonneville Road and Haselrigge Road.
The Council is in communication with the London County Council
as to the number of Managers of the two other schools, which,
by reason of the withdrawal of the Aristotle Road, should be
reduced from 18 to 12.
Secondary
Schools and
Training College
Accommodation.
104. The Council has had before it reports of the London
County Council on the subject of the provision of
secondary schools and training colleges, and asked
the County Council to supply information as to
proposed sites in this Borough. The County Council, however,
stated that the negotiations were proceeding and that it was not
desirable to make public the information, and pointed out that
the County Council is empowered to take such steps as may seem
desirable, after consultation with the Board of Education, to
supply education other than elementary, and that this procedure
differs entirely from that with regard to elementary education
which requires the County Council to consult the Borough Council
whenever it is proposed to acquire a site for a new public elementary
school. The Council also learned from a report of the London
County Council that such Council had purchased the house "Mayfield,"
at West Hill, Wandsworth, for a secondary school. This
Council informed the London County Council that it viewed with
great concern the acquisition of this house for a school on account
of the consequent depreciation of the rateable value of property in
the neighbourhood, and was of opinion that the site was very
unsuitable, and also asked the County Council to invite the suggestions
of Borough Councils with regard to sites for secondary
schools before they are decided upon.
Mixed Schools.
105. The subject of the desirability of mixed schools has
again been considered, and the Council decided to
call the attention of the London County Council to
a report of H.M. Inspector upon the Haselrigge Road School,
and to the resolution passed at this Council's Education Conference
in October, 1905, and adopted by the Council, that in the
