H.M.Inspector's 1st Annual Report. Miss Burrows seems to have found this school in a most inefficient state when she took charge on 13th April last.
Since that time the scholars have made fair progress. The infants require great attention. Those in the third standard read badly. Writing is pretty good but arithmetic and needlework are pretty fair. The children attend very irregularly.
As many infants as possible should be sent to Speen and Loosley Row and the older children brought to this school.
My Lords have allowed the full grant with hesitation. They will look for a much better report next year. The ninth supplementary rule must be observed in future. My Lords have overlooked its infringement, as this is the first inspection of the school.
Researcher's Note. 1975 continued with visits from the Reverend Burgess, particularly as the annual examination date approached. Mrs Burgess and Miss Powel continued to help with the needlework
