Educational planners around the country have been caught on the hop by an unexpected increase in the birth rate leading to a lack of school places. West Norwood has been one such affected area, something which Lambeth Council is now attempting to address. The primary school had just opened a week or two before, even though the rear is still a building site and at the front workmen can be seen finishing off the landscaping. The outdoor space - on the right - is rather cramped. This pleasant Arts and Crafts style building began life as a Jewish orphanage - a panel above the entrance bears the inscription, "Arnold and Jane Gabriel Home 1910". Prior to the school, it was used as offices by a local housing association.
