HC Deb 08 May 1930 vol 238 cc1115-6
40. Mr. LOVAT-FRASER

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will require that in all mixed schools, where reorganisation for children over 11 years of age into a separate department is impossible, all children over 11 years of age shall be placed in a separate division with suitable schemes, time tables, apparatus, and books?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

The Board's aim is to secure that all children at the age of 11 are transferred to a fresh school or department. Where this is for the time being impracticable, the aim is, as my hon. Friend suggests, to secure at that age an effective break in organisation and curriculum within the school.
