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.
