GRANGE ROAD & KNOX ROAD SPECIAL SCHOOLS
These two Schools are considered together because the
separation of function which is proposed under the Development
Plan whereby Grange Road becomes a School solely for physically
defective children, and Knox Road caters entirely for
educationally subnormal children has not yet been fully implemented,
and some educationally subnormal children are still in
attendance at the former. The combined capacity of the two
schools is:
Educationally subnormal 180
Physically handicapped 80
The maximum numbers on the roll during the year were
172 and 77 respectively, including 33 and 8 extra district
children.
Educationally Subnormal Children
During the year 50 West Ham children and 15 extra
district children were admitted to the two schools by reason of
educational retardation, and 5 West Ham children and 3 extra
district children left. Of the 5 West Ham leavers, who all left
on attaining the age of 16 years, 4 were notified to the Local
Mental Deficiency Authority under Section 57(5) of the Education
Act, 1944, and one had a disabled juvenile's certificate
completed—E.D.211(D.P.). Of the 2 extra district children,
one left school on attaining the age of 16 years, the other one
was found unsuitable for further education. The following
tables give an analysis of educationally subnormal children
attending the special schools during the year:
