Beckley School Log Book quote; On 12th July 1875-Mr W F O’Connell, the then Headmaster, wrote “In consequence of all the children being in one room and not having an efficient teacher for the Infants, I have discontinued giving lessons in Geography for the present. The Reverend Hedley visited and brought the following Report received from the Reverend R Blight, Diocesan Inspector of Schools:-“The Infants require a little more care and attention. The other children answer with such great care, intelligence and accuracy, that it was a pleasure examining them. The Master is evidently a very careful and judicious teacher. Several Hymns were sung and canticles chanted with earnestness. It is but fair to say that many of the children had been recently moved higher in the School, and therefore could not be expected to have mastered the deeper teaching of their division.”
