Description | Christopher Gillings was the Headmaster of Midhurst Intermediate School, West Sussex, a post from which he retired on his appointment to the Committee of Inquiry into Reading and the use of English, in 1972.
These papers reflect the full scope of Gillings' activities as part of the Bullock Committee, including: - General organisational administration - Meeting minutes - Papers relating to several sub-committees and working parties - Evidence submitted by expert witnesses to the Committee - Supplementary information - Draft versions of the report 'A Language for Life'
These papers are arranged by function; there are two further groups of papers that Gillings did not arrange in this way. They are titled 'Further papers' and 'Mixed Papers', and contain a mix of correspondence, informationa and evidence.
