The Central Schools in Pelham Road were painted externally.
The artificial lighting in the Haydons Road Girls' and
Infants' Schools, which had not been quite satisfactory, was
greatly improved by the installation of higher power lamps and
the addition of several new points. The lighting in these Schools
is now thoroughly adequate.
The drainage of the schools was inspected and defects
discovered at Dundonald, Queen's Road, and Wimbledon Park
Schools were made good.
The drinking water facilities were also improved.
The surfaces of the playgrounds at Dundonald and Queen's
Road Schools were treated with tar.
At the Health Centre the remainder of the internal decoration
was completed. All the rooms, with the exception of the
laboratory, have now been painted with a smooth, washable
paint, and new shelves and brackets have been fitted to the
radiators. This has rendered the problem of keeping the premises
in a clean condition much easier.

groups required by the Code of the Board of Education. These

during the current year.
