Room A measures about 500 square feet, but the roof is low,
varying from 9 feet to 11 feet 9 inches in height. The window area
is ample and measures about one-fifth of the floor space. The
direction of the light is not entirely satisfactory. Four of the
windows are situated behind the pupils, two to the left and one to
the right. The light from the latter window is considerably
interfered with owing to the proximity of buildings. The room is
furnished with a gallery.
Room B measures 371 square feet. It has only one window
and this is placed to the right of the scholars. There is also a fanlight,
and some further borrowed light is obtained from Rooms A
and C.
For ventilation it has an arrangement in the floor and inlet
openings under the windows and outlet openings in the roof. The
arrangement in the floor which was intended for an inlet opening was
closed and practically it is impossible to use it as an inlet. It is
doubtful if its permanent closure is very harmful, as the atmosphere
that would be admitted through it must be laden with dust and other
suspended impurities.
Classroom C measures 263 square feet and is entered from the
playground. There is no porch but there is a small lean-to structure
over the door.
The room has a gallery. It is well lighted by a window
situated on the left, which has an area of about one-fourth of the
floor space. There are two outlets for ventilation but no special
openings for inlet purposes.
Classroom D measures 171 square feet but with a height of
only 9 feet.
There is one window in the room and this is situated on the
left hand side. The window area measures about one-eighth of the
floor space.
Classroom D was originally a living room of a dwelling house,
and the present cloakroom was formerly the kitchen. Opening into
the classroom is a staircase which leads to two rooms over the classrooms.
These two rooms were formerly bedrooms.
The cloakroom has two lavatory basins, but there is no separate
lavatory accommodation for the teachers.
