HC Deb 21 June 1972 vol 839 c101W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the latest visit of his inspectors to the Corsbie Hall School for handicapped children, in view of the deterioration in staffing standards since the school was officially registered.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The school was inspected on 26th May, and visited again on 15th June. The inspectors reported that the resignation of the headmaster had led to some falling off in standards and they were concerned at the possibility of further deterioration if he and the experienced teachers who are resigning at the end of the term (21st June) were not replaced by competent staff. The proprietor has been asked to ensure that the school is suitably staffed when it resumes after the holidays.
