SPECIAL SCHOOL.
The Special School for Physically Defective Children is
now temporarily accommodated on the ground floor of the
new building in Bonner Hill Road, erected as a Domestic
Subjects Centre.
A new building is under construction in Grange Road
to accommodate delicate children to which the physicallydefective
children will be transferred about April, 1931.
There are 26 physically-defective children on the
register, 3 of whom come from outside the Borough.
The School Medical Officer periodically examines the
children, and the Clinic, being on the same premises, is
always at hand should the Head Teacher desire to consult
him or the School Nurse about any child.
