It is difficult to decide on which is the most economical heating scheme for Norfolk schools. The design for the school included a central heating system with a heating chamber. But this is not until a later phase. Oil-fired boilers have implications for the heating installation but if required then the extra cost would be £900 for the building and £800 for the central heating apparatus.

Scheme for central heating system prepared and tenders obtained listed [7 off]. The cost of the contract will be within the £10,000 limit for minor projects. Paragraph on the type and extent of installation.

The scheme for the central heating system has received Ministry approval and sanction for the extra cost.

A window was broken in the new building. Children use the site as a playground and cyclists use it as a shortcut. Need for fencing to be installed prior to the Managers taking over the school. Wondered whether an Insurance company would cover casual damage such as this.

returning the signed form. I will try to raise £200 per annum as the target figure

Title: "Statement of Managers' or Governors' resources to defray expenses which would fall to be borne by them under section 15 (3) (a) of the Education Act 1944"

Nottinghamshire Diocese is considering building a secondary school in the Boston area. King's Lynn may be within the range if it was sited at Holbeach or Sutton Bridge. Local knowledge is invited.

Final payment (£690.6.7) from the Ministry for St Martha project. Hope by the end of the year to have reduced the debt to £2,000.

Gathering information for Mr Cole to bring to the meeting. Boston is out of the running but perhaps Lynn itself or Sutton Bridge as a site for the Secondary School? M&GN [Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway] closed down and has cut us off.

Further discussion on the potential for a secondary school located nearer to King's Lynn. He provided a few examples of what this may mean in terms of cost to parents and time to travel for children. Enclosed is an extract from the Managers' meeting discussion on the topic.

Discussion about a letter from Fr Brewer regarding Nottingham Diocese contacting them about the potential for a secondary school placed in a central position to serve a district on either side of the diocesan boundary and two LEAs.

Bishop of Nottingham [Edward Ellis]) writes that the replacement school was not what he thought it may have been. Mentions Peterborough "them's my sentiments".

Fr J F McLean (secretary of Nottingham Diocese Commission for Schools) writes that the distances between the various places (King's Lynn, Boston, Spalding, Sutton Bridge) all seem too great and may not get parents' approval. Meet in London to discuss.

The letter has been triggered by the attached (copy) letter sent by Mr Sauvain (Education).
Asking for Fr Brewer to provide a best line to take. The development programme by the lEA has progressed well and to King's Lynn's advantage. Suggests that they press on with the next phase for St Martha's. Debt down to £1,000 by the end of the year.
Discusses the origins of the school and the potential for an extra teaching space. If all Catholic children went to the school then all the 160 places would be taken; Quite a few go to the Convent. The nuns are generous in reducing fees for a bright child. He continues to discuss the growth of numbers can be anticipated and the need for the extra fourth classroom.
Present numbers are just over 100.

Fr Sammons has provided a copy of two letters.
letter 1: Mr Sauvain writes to know when the work to complete St Martha's school may commence. Need to make a decision about the size of the school.
letter 2: Fr Sammons writes that he will contact those concerned and have something for the next Managers' meeting.

Includes a letter from Mr Sauvain and comments that they are waiting for Canon Hunting on the matter of insurance.
Within a 6-mile radius, he estimates some 300 (baptised catholic) children.

Aletter from Mr Sauvain (Education). has been copied and the reply placed on the reverse.
Side 1: Describes the Architect's visit to St Martha's school and the concern raised about the capacity of the boiler being insufficient for the whole school. Estimates cost of heating installation to be £850. All of which would be the responsibility of the school Managers.#
Side 2: Noted that work already done has improved heating at the school. Will bring the Architect's comments to the Managers for consideration.

Mr Sauvain requests estimates for 1961-1962 for numbers of juniors and infants at the new school. Also, should its completion be dealt with by his committee on the originally agreed terms?

Official answer must come from higher up than the Managers - provide one or a line to take. Points to make - safeguard against overcrowding; need to cover for forces (Americans with large families and a higher incidence of Catholics than our own); own people send children to NC [Non-Catholic] schools are being urged to mend their ways (have had cards sent out some time ago).

Mainly minutes of meetings of the School Managers (later Governors) addressing issues to do with St Mary' sand then St Martha's
