Selection for secondary education at 11-plus still arouses widespread controversy; and the psychological techniques which are employed, such as intelligence and attainments tests, are often criticised. Originally published in 1957, under the auspices of the British Psychological Society, a group of psychologists, experienced in this field, tried to present a balanced survey of the situation at the time. They show that the real problems of secondary schooling cannot be solved by simple administrative changes; they arise from historical causes, from the class structure of English society and the educational and vocational ambitions of parents. Psychology has studied the development and differentiation of children’s abilities and interests with age, and thus throws light on the need for, and the consequences of, streaming children in different classes or schools, and the value of alternative systems such as the comprehensive school. Selection at 11-plus, it is admitted, does have harmful effects on teaching in the junior school and produces much emotional strain, though these effects are often exaggerated. It was, in fact, accurate for some ninety per cent of children; yet the implications of its inevitable inaccuracy for some pupils cannot be ignored. The functions, and the value, of intelligence and attainments tests and the essay are examined, and full consideration given to the use of teachers’ estimates of suitability and other techniques. The Report is addressed primarily to teachers, educational administrator, and psychologists – that is people with some background knowledge of the problems involved; but it should also be intelligible and helpful to the educated layman, since the more technical details are confined to Appendices.

This publication is the fourth of the Committees inquiry into aspects of secondary education, and this report focuses on the impact of Government policy relating to school admissions, particularly in terms of school composition and pupil achievement. Issues discussed include: the process of school admissions, the quality of schools and parental preference in allocation of places, the School Admissions Code of Practice, the use of interviews in the admissions process, the position of City Technology Colleges (CTCs) in the state system, co-ordinated admission arrangements, oversubscription criteria, costs, appeals, selection policies, including fair banding, aptitude tests and partial selection, and grammar school ballots. The Committees findings include: i) the Code of Practice should be supported by revised regulations, to ensure greater consistency and enforceability, with mandatory and discretionary criteria made explicit; ii) the current system of grammar school ballots is flawed and should be withdrawn; and iii) there is need for an informed debate about the role of selection in secondary education, so that the Government can explain how it can reconcile its insistence that there will be no return to selection with its willingness to retain and increase selection where it already exists; otherwise its policy on selection will continue to appear ad hoc and without principle. Overall, it recommends that the Government should focus its attention on ensuring that the quality of provision in all schools is good enough.

Friends in School: Patterns of Selection and Influence in Secondary Schools is a collection of research and commentaries that focuses on the connections between the social organization of schools and classrooms, the social processes of peer association, friendship selection, as well as the social development of students. The papers center around the topic on simultaneous influence of developmental and environmental factors on adolescent friendships. One paper examines the various theories of adolescent friendships: that differences exist between theories applied to, and theories generated from the experiences of different age groups. Another paper discusses the patterns of selection of friends and the characteristics of selected friends in high- and low-participatory schools. One paper explains the components of a contact theory and of cooperative learning methods in terms of their impact on intergroup relations. Another paper reviews sex differences in forming and maintaining friendships based on earlier studies made on the subject. The paper focuses on environmental and developmental points on how sex differences and school organization can interact on the student's adjustment to transition or growth. One paper notes that peer and friendship groups can be positive forces in the classroom to advance the goals of the teachers, students, and school, but the decision should depend on the teacher's knowledge of organizational structure, group processes, and on the desired outcome of the educational activity. The collection is suitable for teachers, child educators, school counselors, school administrators, psychologists and sociologists.
