100,000 meals are thus provided during the year, the far greater
proportion of which are mid-day dinners.

ordinary school for their mid-day meal does not arise to any
significant extent in Barking, except, of course, at Faircross and at
Castle School, a'^hough a relatively large number do so stay behind
at St. Mary's and St. Ethelburga's, and at St. Joseph's School.
In the table given below, details of this matter are set out.
