1—In the Lower Richmond Road there are the new County
buildings which at present comprise a Boys', and Girls'
School, and to which an Infants' School will shortly be
added.
These buildings are modern, of approved design, and
generally admirable.
2—The Roman Catholic School, with Boys', Girls', and
Infants' departments is old, but praiseworthy efforts have
recently been made, with good results, to effect certain
needed improvements.
Although the children attending these schools are, on the
whole, the poorest in the district, very little disease occurs
amongst them.
3—The "National" Schools, with Boys', Girls', and Infants'
departments in different buildings, are sanitarily the least
satisfactory in the whole district.
One of the buildings is an ancient poor-house of very early
Georgian, if not late Jacobean construction, and none of the
others is really satisfactory.
In Barnes there are five public elementary schools in
use, and one in course of construction.
They are all "provided" or Council Schools.
1—In Fanny Road there is a Girls' and Infants' School.
This has been improved of late years.
2—On Barnes Green there is a Girls' and Infants' School
which, though cramped, is fairly satisfactory.
3, 4, 5—In the Westfields are a large Boys' School,
remodelled and improved; a modern Infants' School; and
a Girls' School which is badly designed and not satisfactory.
