This record of events at the Royal School for the Deaf in Derby during 1936 focuses on special events rather than showing teaching methods. The school's interest in the physical well-being of its students through the annual sports day is evident but the highlight is a trip by train to 'bracing' Skegness. The children joke to the camera en route to the seaside and are clearly delighted by the beach with its donkey rides and splash pools.
