The School Meals Service provided approximately 40 meals
daily between Stembridge Hall and Beckenham Works Centre,
75 meals daily to Clarks College and a further five or six daily
to Coney Hall School. Canteens which came into full-time use
during 1971 were (1) Hawes Down Infants, and (2) Scotts Park
Junior School, where the number of meals served daily are 260
and 170 respectively. The experiment with convenience foods at
Kentwood (extended to include Alexandra Infants School, in
November 1970) has continued to date.
The Health Visitor in the School Health Service
There have been no new developments this year and the
routine work has been carried out on the usual lines, the Health
Visitors preparing and/or assisting at the full medical examination
of 12,293 School children, and testing visions of 2,729 eight-yearold
children in which they have been assisted during the latter
part of the year by the appointment of a full-time School Nurse.
Children have been inspected at Hygiene Sessions and where
infestation has been found home visits have been paid and the
parents advised on treatment.
