HC Deb 17 February 1927 vol 202 cc1133-4W
Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Education the average size of classes in the elementary schools of Rossington, Armthorpe, and Thorne on 1st February or the most convenient date for which figures are available?

Lord E. PERCY

The late date for which figures are available is the last day upon which each school was open prior to the 1st April, 1926. The average size of classes on that date was 46 in the case of the Rossington Schools, 49 in the case of the Armthorpe Schools, and 41 in the case of the Thorne Schools.
