REPORT ON SCHOOL PREMISES.
HARRINGAY WARD.
West Green School.—Boys' Department.
Classrooms.—The natural lighting in rooms 2 and 7 is badly
arranged, the light coming from the back of the room. Dados are of a
dark olive colour and should be painted a light shade and the windows
are too high. The galleries throughout the school should be removed
in order to allow of re-arrangement of desks in such a way as to
secure more favourable lighting.
Cloakrooms.—The cloakroom accommodation is insufficient.
Playshed.—This is placed in close proximity to the offices and
should be moved to a portion of the playground remote from them.
Girls' Department.
Classrooms.—Rooms 2 and 7 are lit from the back.
Infants' Department.
Classrooms.—Rooms 1, 2, 3 and 6 have windows placed so that
the light falls on scholars' backs. The platforms should be removed'
and desks turned round and additional windows constructed in rooms
1 and 2.
The babies' cloakroom is dark and devoid of heating.
The flooring of the classrooms throughout the school is uneven
and should be renewed. The halls of both Boys' and Girls' departments
have been refloored, a patent flooring known as Ebnerite having
been laid down.
Woodlands Park School.
This school requires redecorating throughout.
Boys' Department.
Hall.—The floor is in need of repair, being uneven n places.
Playshed.—The seat is damaged.
Girls' Department.
Playground.—The ground is uneven allowing water to accumulate
in pools.
Infants' Department.
Classrooms.—In room 6 the walls are very dirty and stained, this
being due to the entry of water through a defective roof.
Lavatories.—Urinals are offensive and require more frequent
flushing.
