REPORT OF THE HEADMASTER. FAIRCROSS SCHOOL
The school year began with 103 children on roll, 55 physically
handicapped, and 48 delicate. Once again I report a successful year
after recovering from the effects of the bus drivers' industrial action
and of the several break-ins which led to the loss of valuable equipment
and teaching time.
The results in the Certificate of Secondary Education Examinations
were very gratifying indeed. Entries for the Royal Society of Arts,
Pitman and Incorporated Phonographic Society's examinations in Commercial
Subjects, yielded excellent results also. Four candidates were successful
in the Royal Associated Board Music Examinations.
