The outstanding event of the year was a visit by two of His
Majesty's Inspectors of Schools—Dr. F. Gale and Miss D. M.
Hammonds-on October 26th. After a thorough inspection, lasting
the whole day, the Inspectors expressed themselves as
delighted with the social life of the school. They also added that
the provision of the midday meal, and the training of the children
at such, was a very valuable part of the school's work. In this
connection it may be remarked that 12 girls go each week to the
Kingsley Homecraft Centre, and it is proposed in 1935 to send
also a small Party of boys for instruction in this subject.
With regard to School Journeys, a very pleasant one was
made by the seniors to Littlehampton on July 4th, and another
was made by the Juniors on September 19th, 87 children taking
part in these excursions.
The Annual Concert and Display was held on December
19th before a crowded and appreciative audience. The concert
was heldon new lines this year, enabling 87 per cent. of the
children to take part.
Before closing this report, I should like to express our
gratitude and appreciation to the staffs and children of the
Kingsley School and Church School for the very
many acts of kindness and helpfulness extended to our children
