19th May

HMI Report received today - Copy of report:

" The head master makes much earnest effort both in the general supervision of the School and in the teaching of his own class. In this class useful points of procedure are noticeable and the more mechanical parts of the work are done with considerable success. Arithmetic is generally accurate, but easy tests disclosed some weakness in the method of dealing with problems and a good deal of effective correction in detail is still needed in Composition. Oral lessons are intelligently given but continued care is needed to avoid very limited forms of questions, so as to give reasonable opportunity for full and individual answering. The delivery of the reading and oral answers should be more forcible confident and clear. The Junior class receives bright and stimulating teaching and makes fairly good progress on the whole. The new Standard I appears to be more backward than usual in some respects, particularly in responding to the oral teaching and persistent effort will be needed to improve the class in this respect.

Infant Class

The infants group is in general quite creditably handled and in many respects the children receive suitable training. Some of the Reading is pretty good and Drawing and Writing are also fairly well don. Number and other oral lessons have not been so successful this year, and the teacher should endeavour to develop freer and more general response."
