§ 37. Dr. Grayasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what general instructions are given to primary schools on the admission of children under five years of age when no nursery schools are available.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsLocal education authorities are asked to ensure that the number of children under five in the primary schools (excluding children due to reach their fifth birthday in their first term) does not exceed the corresponding number in 1956–57. Within this general requirement which has been slightly modified, it is for the authorities to give appropriate instructions to the heads of their primary schools in accordance with the local circumstances.
