List Of Middle Schools In England
Middle schools in England are defined in English and Welsh law as schools in which the age range of pupils starts younger than 10 years and six months and finishes older than 12 years of age. The number of middle schools, including combined schools for children aged between 5 and 12, reached a peak of over 1400 by 1983. In 2019 there were 107 middle schools remaining in England, operating in just 14 local authority areas. History Middle schools were permitted by the Education Act of 1964, which made additional arrangements to allow for schools which crossed the traditional primary-secondary threshold at age 11. Notably, these changes did not define a new type of school, but rather permitted a variation on existing schemes, while providing for regulations which allowed the Secretary of State to determine whether such schools should be treated as primary or secondary. This had not been provided for in the Education Act of 1944. The move, pushed forward by Alec Clegg, then Chie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
