David Rogerson

Abstract


This article examines particular changes in the 1960s and the early 1970s in the pattern of secondary education in England and Wales. There is an emphasis on the immediate effects on institutions in the West Riding County Council in which the writer served. Nationally it details the effects of Circular 10/65 and the arguments used by the Labour Party to justify its implementation as well as the growing backlash against comprehensive reorganisation within the Conservative Party.
