Description of the Buildings.
The Committee's Architect (Mr. J. H. Jacques)" has kindly
supplied the following particulars :—
"THE EDITH KERRISON Nursery School is built on what
was the School Gardens, at the rear of the Rosetta Road Infants'
School; the site adjoins the Beckton Road Recreation Ground, and
is secluded and yet easy of access.
"The buildings consist of three large rooms, facing South,
to accommodate 40 children each. At the rear of these rooms is
a corridor with a Bathroom, two Cloak-rooms and two Offices,
easy of access from the main rooms. At right angles to the main
rooms are the Head Teacher's Room, the Main Entrance, Kitchen,
Store Rooms, Staff Room, and Isolation Room. Around the
buildings is a paved space for playground in any weather, with a
sandpit, and in front of the buildings, at a lower level than the
paved playground, is a grassed playing space. Trees have been
planted along the South and East boundaries.
