The Borough's own special schools and classes are as follows:-
Brentside Speech Class
Reference has already been made to this class at Brentside Infant's School for
ten children aged four to seven years who have speech defects of such a severe
nature as to interfere with education.
Day Schools for the Maladjusted
These consist of Aston, a junior school at 1 Aston Road, Ealing for 25 children,
and Newlands, a senior school within the curtilage of Oldfield School, for 25
children. The school health services available to these schools are in general
the same as for ordinary schools with certain additions. These extra facilities
consist of a routine medical examination annually instead of at the usual
intervals, and the attendance of a psychiatric registrar for one session every
fortnight.
Day Schools for Educationally Subnormal Children
These are Belvue and Acton Schools. Belvue School is a purpose built school
in Northolt, providing places for 180 children. It was opened in September, 1966
and its first pupils were, in the main, those transferred from the former Talbot
School in Southall. Acton School is for 40 children. The additional school health
facilities available to these schools are an annual medical examination and the
visit of a speech therapist three times a week.
Residential Schools for Maladjusted Boys
East Quinton School at Seaford is for 32 junior boys and Red House School near
Reigate is for 33 senior boys. In each case, the children are under the medical
care of a local practitioner who visits the school once a week and as often as
otherwise required.
Each child is examined, as a routine, once a term.
A psychiatrist. Dr. M. Main, attends both schools once a month and a
psychologist visits twice weekly.
