Shirley National School Admission Register (35 - 68)

The Admission Register should be kept exclusively by the Head Teacher, and made up at least once a week. Successive numbers should be allocated to the children on their admission so that each child may have its own number, which it should retain throughout its school career. A child who returns to school after an absence of any duration, would resume its original admission number.

This Register should show for each child in the school.
