The increase in the number of children on the rolls was
337, as compared, with 137 on the previous year. At the
present time, with the exception of St. Peter's School, there
are few vacant places in the Child's Hill district, but when
the Wessex Gardens School, which is planned for over a
thousand children, is built, it is hoped that some of the pressure
on the Child's Hill Schools will be relieved.
It must not be forgotten that the rapid development of
the district, as evidenced by the number of plans passed by
the District Council at almost every meeting, must result in
a material increase in the school population.
