The children are under the supervision of the School
Medical Officer, who, as a routine practice, examines them
at least twice each term, and certain individual cases more
frequently as circumstances require.
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.
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.
The following is a brief summary of the work carried
out at this Special School:
