Swimming has now been arranged for selected children and
several certificates have been won.
During the winter months a hot drink and biscuit have been
supplied to each child before morning school commences.
Generally the health of the children has been maintained at a
high level, but accommodation difficulties militate against the work
of the school.
During the year 36 children (including 6 re-admissions) were
admitted and 36 were discharged.
The average attendance was 60.3 and the average number on
roll 74.
At the end of the year the classification of cases was as follows:—
Orthopaedic 20
Delicate 24
Cardiac 8
Chest (Asthma and Bronchitis) 18
Miscellaneous 4
Dr. Watkins has made weekly visits and by his personal interest
and helpful advice has contributed greatly to the work of the school.
I would also wish to thank all staff, medical, teaching, welfare and
domestic for their valued co-operation during the year.
