Five children returned to Junior School. One of these who was very retarded found
he could not cope with the school work but he has settled well in the E.S.N. School and
his parents are satisfied with him.
Pour children were transferred to other special schools; one to a school for
physically handicapped, one to a school for partially deaf, though if she had been
co-operative over wearing her hearing aid she need not have gone. She is making good
progress there however and will probably stay till the end of the school year. Two have
gone to E.S.N. Schools.
Two children have gone to residential schools for maladjusted children, one to a
residential school for E.S.N, children and one child had to have home tuition before
he eventually recovered enough to attend a junior school. He has now settled without
incident in a Secondary Modern School.
Two children moved away from the district and one child was withdrawn by the
parents. She still fails to make progress but her parents are mcst unco-operative.
