ANNUAL REPORT
of the
School Medical Officer
FOR THE YEAR 1940.
Town Hall,
Acton, W.3.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Acton Education Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We beg to submit the following report upon the schools and
school children of Acton for the year 1940.
Following the request of the Board of Education, the report
will be short and the Statistical Tables have been yet further
condensed.
This has been a very difficult school year, the school population
fluctuating constantly. Compulsory school attendance was
re-introduced as from 26th February, 1940, for all children for
whom reasonable shelter accommodation could be provided. No
children under 5 were admitted to school.
