(b) School for the Educationally sub-normal.* Miss
R. E. A. Lock, Headmistress of the Margaret Brearley School,
reports as follows:-
"The number on roll has remained steady at the 110
mark throughout the year.
Placement of school leavers has been most satisfactory,
three boys having been admitted to apprenticeships in the
metal trade. This is unusually good, as there is always
a danger that E.S.N, boys may of their own volition
choose dead end jobs.
Several students from the London University E. S. N.
Diploma Course visited during the year. One was with us
for eight weeks final school practice. He gained his
Diploma.
Twelve students from Clacton Training College paid
us a visit in May.
We were fortunate in having two dental inspections
this year, and one full Medical Inspection.
I appreciate the new arrangement whereby we receive
periodical visits from a school doctor specifically
appointed to hold a watching brief on the school. We
have been served well by Dr. Dooley, and also by the
school nurse who visits regularly. I offer the medical
department my very grateful thanks for this co operation.
Our new master was appointed at Easter.
Many school visits have been made during the year
e.g. to the Zoo, Southend-on Sea and to the Cutty Sark.
Pull use has been made of Epping Forest for nature study
purposes.
The Borough Psychologist has paid many visits to the
school during the year.
