Some intertitles are used (in the form of filmed signs). "Royal Institute for the Deaf School Sports 1947". We see various shots of the school's sports day including races and a maypole dance. "A Trip To Skegness". A quick shot of buses leaving Derby is followed by scenes of the children on a rollercoaster, boating, playing on the beach, riding donkeys and swimming at Skegness lido. "W. Carey Roe OBE BA. At a gathering of past and present colleagues, a presentation was made to Mr and Mrs Roe". We see a group of people and a presentation to the Roes. We then see (colour) shots of the children visiting London including London Zoo, feeding pigeons and a teacher using sign language to a group of pupils on the street. "D. D. I. Juniors". A football match for junior boys from the school including shots of them eating half-time oranges. We then return to b/w for more shots of a visit to Skegness (poor quality - these may have been spliced in here from another year) and finally b/w shots of the children in the school's garden.
