Residential Schools for Maladjusted Boys
During January a fire destroyed East Quinton School at Seaford, which originally
accommodated 45 junior boys. The London Borough of Enfield helped by offering
the use of part of Wavendon House School at Bletchley until other arrangements
could be made. As children of school leaving age were discharged the places
were not filled until the numbers were reduced to 30. Temporary accommodation
was erected on the East Quinton site and the children returned to Seaford in
September. The school is now being rebuilt and enlarged and the new building
will accommodate 50 junior boys.
Red House School near Reigate is for 30 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 asotherwise required. Each child is
examined, as a routine, once a term.
A psychiatrist attends both schools once a month and a psychologist visits
twice weekly.
