Parents pay Is. 8d. per week towards meals, unless assisted.
Children are brought to School and taken away by relatives, and
one "open" day per month is held.
In addition to the daily attendance of a School Nurse, all children
are examined on admission by a Medical Officer who also sees
delicate children at frequent intervals, and who orders Cod Liver
Oil and Malt when necessary. In addition a Medical Officer attends
at the adjoining School Clinic on three morning sessions and at
the Welfare Clinic (held in the adjoining premises) on three afternoon
Sessions, thus affording ample facilities for dealing with medical
emergencies.
The staff consists of a Head Teacher, 1 Certificated Assistant,
1 Uncertificated Assistant, and 4 Junior Assistants; 6 girls from
Senior Girls' Departments are detailed for instruction every three
weeks and attend continuously for this period.
A notable feature during the year has been the repeated visits
paid by Deputations from other Authorities. A visit was also paid
by members of the Women Public Health Officers' Association, and
by representatives of a large number of Authorities who attended
the Nursery School Conference in London last October.
