WEST BYFLEET SECONDARY SCHOOL SPEECH DAY 1964

 

THE REAL NEED IN SCHOOLS

 

 

 

The real need in schools in this county is to grant all skill and knowledge to character building, while still concentrating on work already done in the schools.

 

This was state by Mr. D.W. Steel, the deputy chief education officer for Surrey at the West Byfleet C.S. School speech day on Wednesday.

 

 

He said that while it was here that parents entered the picture the schools could do a great deal in the equipping the boys and girls in the material world and also for the challenge in life.

 

 

The threat of poverty in an extreme form had disappeared and in the next 20 years hours of work would become shorter.  By the time you reach middle age you will have the kind of jobs where you will be engaged only half the time and here is where the danger comes in, warning Mr. Steel.  “There is an element of truth in the saying that ‘Satin will find work for idle hands’.

 

                “Build up a sense of being discriminating and be critical.  Go through life asking questions, but at the same time be kind and understanding”, Mr. Steel advised the pupils.

 

 

                Mr. F.W. Goodyer (headmaster) in his report, enumerated visits made by pupils during the year and the number of clubs flourishing in the school.  These included the School Society, which continued to look after the ages and the lonely and which this year had raised enough money to supply 70 old people with Christmas cheer.

 

 

                Mr. Goodger said it had been an outstanding year in the school for money-raising efforts, and an outstanding afford had been made for mentally handicapped children.  It was a proud moment for the school, when they were able to present to the chairman of Woking Council, a cheque for £385, which was a tenth of the money raised in the whole of the Woking area.

 

                Dealing with examination results, he said that they had been the best results the school had ever had academically.   One hundred and two candidates passed a total of 330 papers at ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels.   For the first time in the history of the school, a girl passed the third grade in an R.S.A. examination.

 

                Mr. Goodger paid tribute to the work of his staff.  He also paid tribute to two members of the staff who were retiring shortly – Mr. D. Rose, the art master, and Mr. M.J. Allen, history master.

 

                Rev. A.J. Costin, chairman of the school governors, traced the history of education in this country and the establishing of secondary schools in 1944, when West Byfleet C.S. School was established.  “Education and educational advantages have increased and we’re in the process of expanding”, said Rev. Costin.
