and this has to serve also as an exit and as there are but nine
lavatories for an average attendance of 320 children, such an arrangement
causes much confusion and inconvenience.
Infants' Department.
Classrooms.—In room 7 the lighting is mainly from the back.
There is one small window facing the children. The lighting in room 2
has been improved by the lopping of trees whose foliage obscured the
windows.
ST. ANN'S WARD.
Seven Sisters' School.
Boys' Department.
The roof of this school which was defective has been repaired.
Infants' Department.
The heating of this department has been improved by uncovering
the hot water pipes in the corridor. The flooring has also been repaired.
Lavatory Accommodation.—The accommodation provided is insufficient
to meet the requirements of the children attending the school.
There is but one entrance to each set of lavatories and through this
the boys have to enter and leave the offices. As a result there is
great congestion at playtime when the lavatories are used by large
numbers.
The large playshed is still filled with coal thus depriving children
of shelter in inclement weather.
Stamford Hill School.
This school requires redecorating throughout.
Boys' Department.tories
Classrooms.—There is a dark dado throughout the school causing
darkness of the lower parts of the rooms. In rooms 1 and 2 the
lighting is defective, the windows being obscured by surrounding buildings.
In room 6 the lighting too is poor. Rooms 8 and 9 require hopper
ventilators over the doors in order to obtain efficient cross-ventilation.
Desks.—The desks in this school are of the old-fashioned type,
and a number are broken.
The flooring in the hall is in need of repair.
