Report by H.M.I. Mr. H.H. Parker.

Mixed

This school gives the impression of being a vigorous and active community which is thriving under the resourceful guidance of the new Head Master who was appointed in January 1934. Both teachers & taught are industrious and willing and a healthy tradition is being established. The children conduct themselves well in the school buildings, during and out of lesson times and the older scholars give assistance in supervision as prefects. The team system is found useful to assist in the development of individual and collective responsibility for the well being of the school. The first number of a school magazine has recently been published and this institution should contribute further to this end.

There are now 436 children on roll, divided into six junior and four senior classes with a clean break at the age of eleven. There is a four year junior course and a three year senior course of study; the classes are arranged on a single stream basis with, in addition, one senior and two junior classes containing less able scholars. The number of children who have passes in recent years to Secondary Schools and to the Rushden Intermediate School has naturally, somewhat lowered the standard of ability in the Senior part of the school.

Children are received twice a year, at the commencement of the autumn and summer terms from the adjacent Infants’ Department and from the Moor Road Infants’ School, the age of admission being as near 7 years and 2 months as possible.

The scheme of work in all subjects have been thoughtfully planned and carefully worked out to provide well graded courses of study; modified schemes are available for the less able children. Sixty one senior boys attend at the centre at the Intermediate School for instruction in Handicrafts and a Gardening class of 18 boys is given practical instruction not far from the school; 34 senior girls attend the Domestic Science centre at Higham Ferrers. Physical Training is handicapped by the lack of space; there are two playgrounds but one is shared with the Infants’ Department. The Hall is used as a classroom.

Specialisation in several subjects by the teachers of the Senior Classes has been instituted and is working very well. The Head Master takes an active part in the teaching throughout the school and also carefully supervises the work in general and that of individual teachers. His written reports contain useful and constructive criticisms which should be helpful to his staff. Most of the teachers have attended sessional courses of instruction and some of them have attended vacation courses.

In addition to class plays, dramatisation is fostered by the recently established Dramatic Society for past and present scholars which meets on one evening each week. Fifty scholars also attend voluntary evening classes for instruction in violin playing and a small orchestra accompanies the singing and marching at assembly. School concerts are held annually and the school choir has competed both at Bedford and Northampton Musical Festivals.

Arithmetic

The present sensible grouping of Juniors in two streams permits different rates of progress and different methods of approach, which are already proving fruitful. Class 5 , which is the highest of the Junior forms presents a somewhat difficult problem; some of the children appear to be suffering – not from the present teaching which is earnest and sincere – but from faulty grading and preparation in past years. The remaining “A” forms make good progress showing a response and achievement much above the average. Children in the “B” stream are well cared for, sympathetically taught and are making progress commensurate with their abilities. It is true that “deep creaming” for Secondary and Intermediate Schools has left its mark on the four Senior Forms, but it is pleasing to note that, on the whole, the teaching is successful and intelligent and the work properly graded.

Nature Study & Science.

Nature lessons in the lower forms are on good lines and appear to arouse healthy interest. Some classes have made extensive collections of wild flowers which they have named. Girls from the two highest forms receive instruction in Hygiene and Home Nursing. They talked intelligently on the ground covered and showed creditable ability in the manipulation of the bandages.

Science taught to Senior 3 and the boys of Senior ! & 2 embraces General Elementary Science together with some consideration of gardening. There is no special room but the Master responsible arranges the desks in the classroom so that it is possible for practical work to be done and simple working models have been erected. An electrical demonstration board has been wired to show different circuits and a telephone arranged between two rooms. Essential principles have been mastered and a precise knowledge of the subject mater of the lessons was displayed by most of the older boys.

English

The schemes in English are well thought out and developed, providing a graded training in Reading and Composition. In the upper classes there is a wide range of books for study and directed reading. The Head Master makes himself responsible for this part of the work and also for introducing the scholars to a number of outstanding figures in English Literature. Many of these boys and girls appear to be gaining benefit from this aspect of the curriculum. Apart from some careless errors in spelling in the Senior class, written tests in Composition were well done. Reading aloud is generally satisfactory.

History

The “A” junior Classes are receiving a good general introduction to History: the methods of teaching are suitable and varied. The teacher of Class 8, a “B” group, is arousing enthusiasm by practical and pictorial methods and the teacher of the other Junior “B” class would do well to follow the lead. The four Senior Classes are taught by one teacher. He only took charge of the subject in September last and is at present experimenting with methods of teaching and feeling his own way in the materials to be taught.

Geography

In general the schemes give a good outline of local, world and home geography and include weather study and map work. The junior “A” classes respond very well both on general knowledge and on maps. Class 10 also respond well, but methods for these “B” children might be more practical as are those in Class 8 where the children are really keen. The Seniors are taught by one teacher who ably carried out suggestions given to him. Good use is made of the globe and maps, collections of pictures, stamps and general literature. Methods are varied and should arouse interest. The locational knowledge of Senior 1 is relatively poor but the other Seniors are reasonably able to show where places are and have a good general knowledge of the ground covered.

Handwork

A very satisfactory syllabus of Handwork is operated in the Junior part of the school and the specimens seen in 2a and 3a were particularly pleasing. About a year ago a start was made in teaching pottery to the senior children. The Head Master has expert knowledge of the craft and he has imbued a member of staff, who is now responsible for the subject, with his enthusiasm. This teacher has given much time and thought to the work and has thoroughly mastered the craft in its many branches. The children are keen and have developed considerable skill. A kiln has been erected at the joint cost of the school and the Authority, in addition the school funds have provided a wheel. The excellent finished ware is deserving testimony of what can be achieved in a short space of time when enthusiastic endeavour is wisely guided and directed.

Handicraft

Instruction in Woodwork is provided for the Senior Boys at a centre under a capable teacher who has developed the work on modern lines and succeeds in getting the best from his pupils. Not only are they trained in the best methods of tool technique, but also they are taught how to produce soundly constructed pieces and apply suitable finishes.

Drawing

A progressive course of Drawing through the school culminates in some very creditable work both in pencil and colour in the Highest Form. It is unfortunate that the Senior Girls do not participate in the instruction.

Music

Both vocal and instrumental music is well taught. The school choir has an extensive repertoire from which the members sing delightfully. The establishment of the school orchestra of violins has met with much success and reflects much credit on the tutor.
