The number of pupils registered at December 31st, 1946, was
54. During the year 1947, 26 new pupils were registered and 19
left. With the final closure of the British Restaurant in March the
school has been able to re-establish itself completely. The carpentry
room has been restored. At Easter a nursery class was opened with
great success, and the achievements of the pupils are most satisfactory.
There is now in being a progressive parent-teacher
association which is of particular value in enabling the parents to
understand the methods employed in teaching the children and to
maintain the progress of the children in their homes.
The new School for Aphasics opened at Oxted was visited by the
School Medical Officer, an assistant Medical Officer, and the Head
Teacher of the School for the Deaf. In the Spring, a film "The
Education of the Deaf Child," was shown, and an address given by
the Borough Education Officer on "The New Education Outlook."
