 Secondary modern school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Secondary Modern School was a type of secondary school that existed in Britain from 1944 until the early 1970s under the Tripartite System, and designed for those who had done too poorly in their eleven plus examinations, to go to grammar school.
The first secondary moderns were created by converting around 3,000 Senior Elementary schools, which had previously offered a continuation of primary education to 14, into separate institutions.
Secondary moderns prepared their students for the CSE examination, rather than the more prestigious O level, and although training for the latter was established in later years, less than one in ten children took advantage of it.

 "A Modern School": Abraham Flexner Outlines Progressive Education
The Modern School would prove a disappointment, unless greater intellectual power is procurable on the basis of a realistic training than has been procured from formal education, which is prematurely intellectual, and to no slight extent a mere make-believe.
The formal difficulties which the Modern School discards are educationally inferior to the genuine difficulties involved in science, industry, literature, and politics; for formal problems are not apt to evoke prolonged and resourceful effort.
The Modern School should be a laboratory from which would issue scientific studies of all kinds of educational problems—a laboratory, first of all, which would test and evaluate critically the fundamental propositions on which it is itself based, and the results as they are obtained.
