School Life'. Six pupils left at Easter 1967. Five entered open employment
and one went to Training Centre. We had fourteen summer leavers and one boy
returned to secondary modern school. Thirteen leavers entered open employment
and one boy went to Training Centre.
Numerous educational visits and school journeys were made including a
visit to Colchester Zoo by Classes 5, 6 and 7. Visits were made to the local
G.P.O. Sorting Office by Class 8, Farm at Havering by Class 7 and RoSPA House
by Class 2. Class 5 visited the Ceylon Tea Centre in connection with their
class project and Classes 3 and 4 visited Southend Airport. As part of the
social training programme journeys are made by public transport, bus or tube
train, as well as by private coach. As a result of these educational visits,
some pupils are journeying to London, etc., on their own initiative.
Our school participated in the "Learning for Earning" experiment
organised by Reverend Westall. This proved extremely successful.
Arrangements have now been made for some of our children in need of speech
therapy to attend Five Elms Clinic. This arrangement is proving satisfactory.
