COUNCIL SCHOOLS.
During the past year two new schools have been
opened, one at Goodmayes and the other at Uphall. These
are both of brick (replacing two corrugated iron buildings),
built on the central hall plan, with improved details for
ventilation, lavatory supply, cloak.room accommodation,
and numerous other details.
A small school has also been built at Little Heath. Part
of one of the other corrugated iron buildings was utilised
for this purpose.
Owing to the rapid growth of the district, all the
Council schools are of comparatively recent origin, are all
built on the central hall principle, and have all been designed
by one architect. Consequently the improvement in detail
from one of the first to the last is very interesting and very
marked.
