Children at School
59. Of the children at school, two boys are at Worcester College
for the Blind and one girl is at Chorley Wood College for girls with
little or no sight. These schools provide secondary grammar school
education for pupils aged 11-19 years who are prepared for the
General Certificate of Education and University entrance.
The remaining two children receive secondary modem education
up to the age of 16, one at Linden Lodge School, Wimbledon, and
the other at Dorton House, Seal, near Sevenoaks, Kent.
