Training.
(a) Attendance at junior training schools.
As previously mentioned, the Council's temporary junior training centre at Harle
House, Cardinal Road, Feltham, closed during the year and the children attending there
were transferred to the new purpose'built junior training school at Strathmore Road,
Teddington, with effect from the 21st September, 1970. In addition, children still
attend the Hanworth Junior Training School, Main Street, Feltham, and the Isleworth
Junior Training School, Bridge Road, Isleworth, which are administered by the London
Borough of Hounslow, and the Kingston Training Centre, Dukes Avenue, Kingston
upon Thames.

‡ Opened 21.9.70.
Medical inspection and treatment for children attending training schools is provided
in the same way as for children attending primary and secondary schools.
(b) Attendance at special care units.
Certain severely subnormal children are unable because of their unsuitability, to
attend a junior training school. These children may be admitted to a special care unit
attached to the school. These care units cater specifically for mentally handicapped
children who also suffer from a physical handicap, or are very over-active, and provide
mothers with much needed relief and a measure of habit training for the child. The
new junior training school at Strathmore Road, Teddington, includes a 20 place special
care unit.
(c) Strathmore Road Junior Training School.
This 80 place Junior Training School at Strathmore Road, Teddington, opened
for the reception of children on the 21st September, 1970. The building which cost
£65,000 is of modern design with 60 children in the main school and 20 in the special
care unit.
The school is staffed with:—
