Transcription Notes:
looks like water damage so cant read the two sections below: Number of pupils enrolled last report. Number left school this month. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-15 15:40:36 Should there be vertical lines distinguishing parts?

(no vertical lines, this is not to be transcribed as a table which uses vertical lines) ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-15 20:54:15 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-16 10:08:49 removed the pipes, and the .... - pls read instructions - wont have to guess
