Provision of Meals.
The canteen scullery at "The Margaret Brearley" E.S.N.
School was completed last November.
Washing-up facilities at a number of schools have been
improved and rinsing sinks installed.
The extension at the Warwick Secondary School consists of
Craft Rooms on three floors with some additional sanitary
accommodation.
It is of interest to note that the new block is partly built on
the site of three dwellings (Nos. 196/200 Wood Street) damaged
by enemy action. In addition, the site and garden of an individual
unfit house cleared in 1956/57 has been added to the school grounds
and will enable the erection of an assembly hall in future years.
The plans in regard to new buildings, i.e., the Sidney Chaplin
Secondary School and the Warwick Secondary Girls' School and
the conversion of existing buildings at the latter site for dining
purposes and further education, were examined and discussed with
the Borough Education Officer, especially in regard to facilities for
medical inspection.
