(Following the pattern in Appendix H to facilitate comparison)
School enrollment

at children's homes), county and voluntary, have a teaching staff, (including the
full-time equivalent of part-time and short-term supply teachers) of 22, 655 for
414, 830 pupils, including 10,349 children in half-time attendance at nursery classes
in primary schools.
Kindergarten & Nursery
Some nursery education for children aged three to five is provided in
nursery schools and some in nursery classes attached to primary schools. Attendance
is voluntary and many schools and classes provide part-time education for different
groups attending in the morning and afternoon.
Primary Education
Primary and secondary education is provided in 735 county schools,
and in 350 voluntary schools most of which are denominational. The Inner London
Education Authority meets the costs of running all the schools except that the governors
and managers of most voluntary schools have financial responsibilities for the
external repair and improvement of the buildings.
Secondary Education
In Secondary schools a full range of courses is available to all pupils.
Most schools, including all comprehensive, grammar and other large schools, offer
seven-year courses, and this applies to the Inner London Education Authority boarding
