At the Ophthalmic Session held at the School in December,
it was found that 15 children had visual Acuity (Snellen) 6/60 or
less. 12 children had visual acuity of 6/36. 2 children visual
acuity 6/24 and 14 children visual acuity 6/18 or more.
As in the previous years the Medical Supervision of the School
has been well maintained, for Dr. I. Gregory, M.B., D.O.M.S.,
has made two visits and given much helpful advice, Dr. Watkins
has made medical inspections of selected children, and has seen all
school leavers. Miss Cunnington, H.V., has regularly visited the
school and has done much useful work to bridge the gap between
home and school in difficult cases. I must put on record our appreciation
of the very ready help and co-operation of Dr. Evans
and the Staff of the Eye Clinic who have examined all children in
the School during the year.
On the educational side much steady work has been done.
There has been some experimental work with Physical Training
apparatus and the Senior Boys, who also participated in the Walthamstow
School Sports. During the vonr 11 children left school
as follows:—
2-—to employment.
1—to Technical College.
1—to Junior Technical College.
4—to Schools for the Blind.
2—to Residential Partially Sighted Schools.
1—to Hospital School.
I would like to express my appieciation to Miss Ramage, Mr.
Crosby and Miss Hardy for their efforts on behalf of the children.
During the year the average attendance was 39.1 and the number
