Lordship Lane Partially Sighted School.
The following is a report received from the Head Teacher of this school
with respect to Tottenham children:—
Number on Roll on April 1st, 1935 12
Number admitted during the year 5
Number left during the year 6
Number on Roll at the end of the year (6 boys and
5 girls) 11
Old Scholars.—Of the 6 leavers, 3 boys and 2 girls have gone to work
and 1 girl left the district.
The little information I have been able to receive about other old
scholars has been through the children visiting the school. It is as
follows:—
1927 S.H.— Milk round.
1933 L.B.—Grocer's assistant. Attends Moorfield's Hospital
for eye treatment.
1934 W.G.—Still at home—is too small to get work.
1934 G.H.—Working as a presser in a factory and doing well.
1934 F.K.—Still working in a motor-cycle factory.
1935 W.W.—Toy factory—cutting out animals.
Present Scholars.—The present scholars are all making satisfactory
progress, and now we have no exceptionally backward child.
In July the annual "Open Day" was held and there was the usual
sale of handwork, and a concert given by the children.
In December we had a "Parents' Day" when an entertainment was
given by the children. There was also a sale of handwork, calendars
and sweets of all kinds made by the girls in the Domestic Science Centre.
Tea was served by the senior girls.
The usual Christmas Tea-party and Games was held just before
breaking up for the Christmas holiday, and this year the Mayor and
Mayoress of Wood Green honoured us with a visit on the occasion.
The boys still receive instruction two half-days a week in the
Woodwork Centre and the girls, over 11 years of age, spend a whole day
each week in the Domestic Science Centre.
