§ 66. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that the average attendance at each of the Church of England schools at Copthorno and Crawley Down, parish of Worth, East Sussex, is larger than the recognised accommodation; and what steps are proposed to remedy the overcrowding of children in the schools?
Mr. PEASEIn both the schools referred to the recognised accommodation was in excess of the average attendance for the last completed school year, which ended on the 31st May, 1912. A rearrangement of the accommodation in the Copthorne schools was suggested by His Majesty's Inspector in a report dated the 28th February, 1912, and on the 4th March the local authority reported that his criticism had been met.
