West Ham High School for Girls.
The Medical Inspection in this school is confined to the
inspection of pupils who reside in West Ham. The scholars
were examined for the first time in December, 1925, by the
lady Assistant School Medical Officer. Then all the scholars,
excluding those in the Preparatory School were fully
examined. In November, 1926, all new admissions from the
Preparatory and other schools and all children between the
ages of 12 and 13 years were fully examined. All remaining
scholars under the age of 15 years were partially examined—
that is, they were weighed and measured, had their vision and
hearing tested, their throats and teeth examined, and were
questioned as to their health during the preceding year. Any
of these children who had defective vision were referred for
the full examination.
In May, 1927, all children between the ages of 15 and 16
years are to be fully examined, and all children over the age
of 16 are to be partially examined in a way similar to above.

The attendance of parents or friends was 89.5 %.
