MEDICAL INSPECTION IN SCHOOLS
The medical inspection of school children at fixed intervals during their school lives has been an
integral part of the School Health Service since its inception. Attempts have been made in recent years to
introduce a system of selective examinations whereby more time may be given to the child with defects or
problems and little or no time to the fit child. Two pilot schemes were carried out at two schools in the Borough.
Questionaires were completed by teachers and parents each of which were scrutinised by the medical
officers who then decided which of the children were to be examined. This was time consuming and required
the complete co-operation of teachers and parents and in view of the present staff situation was considered
possibly less effective than the present system.
The system of routine medical inspections is as follows:—
Primary, Secondary Modern and Grammar Schools.
1. Entrants i.e. Children admitted for the first time to a maintained school, normally at the age of
5 years.
2. 7-8 year old i.e. Children in their first year at a Junior School.
3. Intermediate i.e. Children in their last year at a Primary School.
4. Final Leavers i.e. Children in their last year of attendance at a maintained Secondary School.
5. Special Cases i.e. Children of other ages with possible defects and whom the Head Teachers or parents
wish the Medical Officer to see.
A total of 12,007 children were examined of whom 11,912 were found to be in a satisfactory condition.
3,888 special inspections and 2,904 re-examinations were carried out.
Age grouping and defects found at the above inspections can be found in Statutory Tables 1, 2
and 3 in the appendix.
