School Camps.—No school camp was held during the year.
Open Air Classrooms.—All the new schools are so designed
that the whole of one side of the classroom can now be completely
opened in suitable weather. In Brentford, this arrangement
is found at the Senior, Lionel Road and Clifden Road
Schools, while in the Chiswick area the Hogarth Infants'
Beverley Road and Central Schools possess these facilities.
Day Open Air Schools and Residential Open Air Schools.—
There are no such schools in this district and children requiring
this type of education are sent to Open Air Schools under other
authorities.
10.—PHYSICAL TRAINING.
It is a pleasure to report that two Organisers of Physical
Training (one for the girls and one for the boys) have been
appointed in conjunction with the Borough of Acton, and it is
anticipated that a satisfactory account of their work will be
included in the next Annual Report. Certain of the teaching
staff of the schools have undertaken physical training in the past
and anyone who has watched this work must have been impressed
by the smartness of some of the classes.
Apart from that, the teachers have taken a great part in
organised games and many give up a considerable amount of
their spare time training the children for open competitions.
The following achievements indicate the success of their work :—
Cricket: Chiswick Central Boys won the West London
Central School League. (Basil Booker was awarded by The Star
newspaper a " Jack Hobbs " bat for taking seven wickets for
one run.)
Football: Brentford Senior Boys won (1) League Championship,
Division II, (2) Lilley & Skinner Cup and (3) the
Poulton Cup.
Lionel Road won the Acton, Brentford and Chiswick Junior
League—they won every match obtaining maximum points and
scored 85 goals to six.
Belmont Senior were finalists in the Lilley & Skinner Cup-
Athletics : St. Paul's and St. Lawrence won the Ratepayers
Shield.
