TitleWood Close School Admission Register, 1920-1947
Date(s)1920-1947
DescriptionAdmission register and related material for Wood Close School. The volume is a London County Council (LCC) admission register and the school name is recorded within as 'Wood Close' and the Department is: 'Girls'.

At the front of the volume there is an alphabetic index, followed by admission entries which date from April 1920 - September 1947, however, there is a gap during the period of the Second World War and subsequently there are no admissions recorded in the volume from 1 June 1939 until 1 October 1945. A note entered on 1 September 1939 reads 'evacuation of school children ordered. Temporary admission register during emergency periods', this is followed by a note dated 1 October 1945 which reads 'school re-organised under new Education Act: as Primary Mixed and Infants'.

The entries are arranged by chronological admission number which corresponds with a chronological admission/re-admission date. The range of information recorded within includes: admission number; date of admission/re-admission; name in full; name of parent/guardian; occupation of parent/guardian; address; date of birth; initials of teacher by whom birth certificate has been seen, last school attended; date of attendance at last school; date of attendance at this school; cause of leaving this school; remarks (including any exemption from religious teaching claimed).

Following the admissions entries there is a section entitled 'names of all children in Wood Close J, M, & I School on 29.9.1947 transferred from existing admission registers and entered alphabetically'. The volume also contains loose material such as, notes from parents; notes regarding pupils; pupil transfer forms; blank LCC data return forms; lists of pupil grades and pupil milk and malt entitlements.
