88. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Education how many un-reorganised full-age-range schools are still functioning in England and Wales; and how many classes for children over the age of 11 plus are accommodated in schools officially designated as primary schools.

Mr. Tomlinson

There were in January, 1947, in the maintained and assisted schools of England and Wales 8,755 departments containing both senior and junior children out of a total of 28,145 departments. At the same time there were in un-reorganised departments 8,598 classes consisting entirely of children over II years old.
