ST. LUKE'S PARTIALLY SIGHTED SCHOOL
I am indebted to Miss J. Rundle, the Teacher-in-charge, for the
following observations:-
Miss M. Lewin left St. Luke's in December 1956. We were
extremely sorry at her leaving and would like to record our
appreciation of her work here for the past eight years. We wish
her every success in her work in Uganda.
We welcome Mrs. Cleaver and hope that she will be very happy
in her work here.
Throughout the year steady progress of work has been maintained
in all age groups. The typewriting course, begun last
year, has been very successful. it has helped two of our leavers
in obtaining clerical posts and a third is continuing with a
Commercial Course at the Polytechnic.
Other boys and girls who have left during the year have all
found suitable employment and we are very grateful to the Yough
Employment Officer and his staff for their help in this matter.
The weekly visit to the Croydon Swimming Baths has continued
throughout the year and there is continued good progress.
Instruction in woodwork is in the care of Mr. Maddox of
Norbury Manor School, and Miss Newton of St. Mary'-s School takes
the girls for domestic science, and we appreciate the interest
shown in our children.
We were very glad to welcome Mrs. Maycock on Open Day and
should like to express our gratitude to her and Alderman Maycock
for their interest in the school. Many parents also visited us
and we thank them for their co-operation and interest.
Her Majesty's Inspector for Special Schools, Mr. Moody visited
us during the year.
Twenty-two children were present for the annual medical
inspection and seven parents attended.
The number on roll was 23 on December 31st last.
