HANDICAPPED PUPILS
I am grateful to Mr.E.C.Cooke, Headmaster of Bedelsford
School, and Miss F.A.Lloyd, Headmistress of St.Philip's School,
for their collaboration in this section of the report.
The borough is well served as regards the provision of
Special Schools both for physically handicapped and for
educationally subnormal children.
A total of 22 children left St.Philip's and Bedelsford
Schools during 1965, 20 from St.Philip's and 2 from Bedelsford.
These children either found employment themselves or were placed
in suitable occupations by the youth employment officers.
