Miss Seely, Head Mistress of Nedderton Council School visited this school this morning - on the advice of Mr. J. Mr. J. Scothorne, H.M.I. Earlier in the year visits were paid by Assistant teachers from Belford and Backworth Council Schools. They desired, chiefly to see the "Individual Work". LB.

During the last term of the last school year it was found necessary to form an extra class - St. I b - consisting chiefly of backward children whose ages were about 7½ or 8 years. These children are now part of St. II b, along with younger, quicker children. St. II b. and St. I are consequently very mixed. Careful grading of work is necessary to ensure good progress. It is expected that when the numbers increase, a separate small class of children will form St. II b and promotion will then take place in the lower classes. LB.
