Classroom. Lighting.
The window of this room is so small as to make the
room suitable only for a few pupils.
Walls.
Those require cleansing.
Lavatory Accommodation.
Three basins are provided, of which one is not in use on
account of the trap beneath leaking.
Closet Accomviodation.
Two are piovided and both are of the long hopper
pattern with spiral flush. They cannot, therefore, be
considered self-cleansing. A foul odour emanated from one
of these closets on the day of inspection and probably arose
from its being insufficiently trapped. It is doubtful if these
closets are connected with the Council's sewer.
Playground.
This is in good condition, but the gravel walk from the
gate to the entrance door of the school requires re-making
and re-gravelling near the gates.
All other conditions at this school are satisfactory.
Grove Road Schools.
Heating.
The open fire places provided are insufficient. A low
pressure hot-water system consisting of a single pipe or a
single radiator suitably placed in each room should be added
for the purpose of maintaining a uniform temperature
throughout.
Heating should also be provided in the cloakrooms for
drying the children's clothes.
Lighting.
At the corners of many of the rooms the lighting is
bad. Especially is this the case in the main rooms of all
three departments and additional windows should be inserted
in the walls here.
