An additional scullery has been provided at one 3chool and an
additional dining room and scullery at another.
Two new prefabricated dining rooms and kitchens and one new
dining room and scullery have been erected. The latter is in operation.
The two former have not been opened owing to lack of equipment
to be supplied by the Ministry concerned.
Plans for a number of prefabricated and ad hoc two-storey
buildings for erection on restricted sites have been put forward and
await allocation with the building programme for the area.
Renovations.—Extensive repairs and complete renovations have
been carried out at seven schools for exteriors and two schools for
interiors.
Owing to high costs, progress in this direction is somewhat
hampered; but as prices come down work will be put in hand each
year in order to overcome the loss of activity during the war years.
Sanitary Fittings.—Improvements have been effected at the
Special School for sub-normal children. Additional sinks with
cold and hot water services have been provided at two secondary
schools.
Sites and Properties.—Three schools at which Civil Defence,
N. F. S. or other war-time services were conducted have been renovated
and made serviceable again for school purposes and gates and fences
restored at four other schools.
War Damage Repairs.—A very large amount of this work has
been carried out during the year at ten schools, involving the expenditure
of many thousands of pounds.
