As of about 2015, but in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s many were secondary moderns. Ok not the secondary moderns of the 40’s, 50, 60’s but still not quite comprehensives. There is no way to tell from the 2000’s data which of those schools offered what, but many achieved poor results. I’m not just talking about Kent, but all of England.

Yes. If I wasn’t good enough for A Levels then I would have fail to get a B/A/A* on the higher paper, BUT I at least would have had chance. I’m saying all children should have that chance.

No because the teacher would still offer their professional advice, it’s just that pupils wouldn’t be forced to take the foundation paper thus restricting them to a C/5.

In the County there was, but not the town/City. It only had two Secondary Schools - a Grammar, and a Secondary Modern. It only started to offer the proper subject, and improve it’s outcomes significantly, when it converted to a Comp in the 2010’s, albeit in the form of an Academy.

They were underfunded and acted like a hybrid between the old sec mods and comps, ie they are not actually comps because they don’t like them.

Probably the results were so bad because they were underfunded/not Comprehensive schools, not because the pupils were stupid.
If you look at schools which became comps in the 2010’s, that used to be sec moderns in the 2000’s, the results are far better, although the Grammars are still superior.

But it creates a system where even those who narrowly fail by a few marks have to go to terrible secondary modern schools. In the 2000’s there were about 160 or so Secondary Moderns and many were poor, with poor opportunities relative to both Grammar Schools and Comprehensives. Even more of an injustice - they were underfunded, depsite being in rich areas.

Well they went from 1300 of them in 1965 to about 165 in 1975. It’s totally unfair that 90% of pupils from then on, got to go to a comprehensive school, while 5% of pupils in places like Kent and Lincolnshire, were forced through circumstance to go to Secondary Moderns.
