Board of Education
Inspected on 18th February 1929
Report by HMI Mr H R Sweeting
Infants Department
The inspection took place under rather unfavourable circumstances. Since the beginning of the present term the attendance has been consistently low; the attendances for the past few weeks have been disregarded in accordance with regulations. In the Babies’ class only eight children were present out of twenty-five. In the other two classes matters were better, but many of the scholars had just returned to school after several weeks absence owing to sickness.
Despite these adverse conditions it is possible and gratifying to endorse the favourable comment contained in the last report. The Department provides a thoroughly sound preparation for the Senior Mixed Department. This is due to the well-planned schemes of work and the unreserved efforts of the Head Mistress and her assistants. The Head Mistress is to be congratulated on her enterprise in arranging, in such cramped premises, for some training in Eurythmics and dancing. Some minor defects of the work in Composition and History in the highest class were pointed out during the inspection with a view to still further development of what is already a well-conducted and well-taught school.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have signed the registers having found them in order. Owing to illness the attendance has been rather badly affected. I have seen the Inspector’s Report with much pleasure and heartily congratulate the Head Mistress.
