The fact that the school is situated at headquarters
provides advantages to both Medical and Teaching Staffs,
who are, therefore, so easily able to consult with regard to
the care of the children.
The curriculum has been set out in consultation with the
Education Secretary and Head Teacher.
Dental inspection and treatment was carried out during
the year, and children needing orthopaedic treatment attend
the Red Cross Curative Post, Norbiton, under the visiting
Orthopaedic Specialist.

issues certificates as to their physical fitness.
During the year 49 school children over 12 years of
