HC Deb 10 June 1980 vol 986 c112W
30. Mr. John MacKay

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what advice he has received from the inspectorate on the value or otherwise of mixed ability teaching in secondary schools.

Dr. Boyson

: Her Majesty's Inspectorate published a discussion document in 1978, based on a survey of mixed ability work in comprehensive schools—HMI series : Matters for Discussion No. 6. There are also numerous references to mixed ability teaching in "Aspects of Secondary Education in England" which was published in December 1979. Both reports are available in the Library.
