  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.
