| NUMBERS AT EAST WORLINGTON SCHOOL | ||||
| The total number on roll pre-June 1940 averaged about 38. No evacuees | ||||
| had yet made their way to East Worlington. However, this was to change | ||||
| by the end of June. | ||||
| Consider the impact of this on such a small school and on the whole | ||||
| community. At the time, the school had only 2 classrooms, and had | ||||
| children up to the age of 14. | ||||
