School Psychological Service
I am grateful to Mr. D. R. Barraclough, Chief Education
Officer, for the following report on the School Psychological
Service:—
This has been the first complete academic year spent at the
new premises at St. Paul's Wood Hill. This hutted accommodation
has proved spacious and has enabled the Service to organise its
administration more satisfactorily.
As usual, the work of the School Psychological Service falls
into three broad categories, thus :
(a) Investigation of individual children in schools or hospital
clinics.
(b) Investigation into the problems presented by groups of
children, e.g. slow learners.
(c) General educational advisory duties including organising
and conducting lectures, discussions, etc.
The School Psychological Service spans the whole of the
educational range from the pre-school to the school leaver, but
