HC Deb 26 November 1969 vol 792 cc109-10W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish a list of the educational priority areas in the London Borough of Lambeth, and the names of the schools in each area.

Miss Bacon

Educational priority areas have not been designated by the Department, but on the basis of proposals made by the Inner London Education Authority, 14 schools falling within the London Borough of Lambeth have benefited from one or more of the following:

  1. (i) The Department's school building programme for educational priority areas (6 schools);
  2. (ii) The special allowance of £75 per annum for teachers in schools of exceptional difficulty (6 schools), and
  3. (iii) Nursery classes or other provisions under the Urban Programme (8 schools).

The schools are:

  • Allan Edwards C.P.
  • Ashmole C.P.
  • Cowley C.P.
  • Effra C.P.
  • Hartington Road C.P.
  • Haseirigge C.P.
  • Heathbrook C.P.

was published last year in the 1967 U.N.E.S.C.O. Statistical Yearbook. It refers to 1965, and is given below. The conversion to sterling has been done in terms of 1965 exchange rates. Current exchange rates would show higher relative expenditure in some of the other countries.

  • Lark Hall C.P.
  • Reay C.P.
  • St. John the Divine C. of E.
  • St. Peter's C. of E.
  • Santley C.P.

In addition, a new four-class nursery school has been included in the Urban Programme.
