HANDICAPPED PUPILS
Special Educational Treatment
There are no Day or Residential Special Schools in the Borough
for Handicapped Pupils, and all pupils who require special educational
treatment because of various handicaps must attend schools outside the
Borough.
However the 1960/61 Programme provides for a school for
Educationally Sub-normal Pupils to be built in Romford. E.S.N, is
the largest single handicaps in terms of numbers of pupils concerned, and
is approximately equal to that of all other handicaps combined.
A summary is given below of the ascertainment and placement of handicapped pupils during the year:—
| Category | No. of pupils Ascertained during 1960 | No. of pupils admitted to Special Schools during year | Total No. of pupils in Special Schools at end of year | ||
