Record Cards
7.15
After pupils have been allocated to their schools, upil record
cards will be issued by the Education Department. These cards will be kept
and updated by the schools and when pupils change schools the cards will be
transferred to the new school.
7.16
Each card will consist of a record of the schools and classes
which the pupil has attended and will contain no assessments or comments
on ability, performance or behaviour.
7.17
The purpose of record cards is to enable schools to trace the
educational history of their pupils so that they can provide this
information when required for research or record purposes. This will be
of great value in providing information on repetition, facilitating
research and generally assisting in the monitoring of the educational
system.
The Secondary School Places Allocation System (SSPA)
7.18
The findings of a Working Party set up to review the procedures
for allocating secondary school places have recently been published.
7.19
One of the recommendations of the Working Party concerned feeder
and nominated schools (these are schools where a fixed percentage of places
are reserved for pupils from related primary schools). The recommendation
was that this fixed percentage should drop from 85% to 50% in 1983 in the
case of feeder schools and remain at 25% in the case of nominated schools.
The recommendation was made in the context of previous policies and uncertainty
regarding the Government's likely decision on the control of entry proposals
which were outlined in the Green Paper.
