6
(A.) REPORT ON SCHOOL PREMISES.
HARRINGAY WARD.
WEST GREEN SCHOOL—Boys' Department.
Natural Lighting.—In four of the nine classrooms the
natural lighting is still unsatisfactory, since the maximum
light should come from the left of the scholar and a smaller
amount from behind.
Seating—The desks are non-adjustable.
Cloakrooms.—Insufficient accommodation, both with
regard to space and the number of pegs provided.
Sanitary Conveniences.—The slate slabs of urinals are
corroded and dirty.
Girls' Department.
Classrooms.—Two classes are held in room No. 8,
without screens or partitions.
Natural Lighting.—The natural lighting in rooms 1,2,3
and 7 has already been reported as unsatisfactory, since the
main illumination is not from the left of the scholar.
Heating.—I am glad to note that the heating of rooms 5
and 8, which was reported as insufficient in last year's Report,
has been attended to, to the greatly increased comfort of
scholars and teachers.
Seating.—The desks are of an old type.
Cloakrooms.—The cloakrooms are without heating:
apparatus.
