(c) Open- Air Classrooms in Public Elementary Schools.
There are four open-air classrooms at the Brampton School
and one at Castle Street School.
(d) Open- Air Day Schools.
There are unfortunately no open-air schools in the Borough.
(e) Residential Open- Air Schools.
There are no such schools under the direct control of the
Local Education Authority; the Committee, however, have continued
to send a certain number of children, for whom such treatment
would be beneficial, to the Ogilvie School of Recovery at
Clacton-on-Sea.
Arrangements have also been made for the admission of
children to the Russell-Cotes School of Recovery at Parkstone,
St. Dominic's School of Recovery at Godalming, St. Patrick's
Open Air School at Hayling, St. Mary's School of Recovery at
Dover, and to the Institutions of the Invalid Children's Aid
Association.
The difficulty of providing satisfactory treatment for delicate,
malnourished, debilitated and physically defective children, who in
many cases require a change of air and the regulation and routine
of a healthy life, has been overcome largely as the result of the
keen activity of the Local Branch of the Invalid Children's Aid
Association.
