This determined which school you would go to, secondary school or grammar school. These schools where supposed to be equal, but as people who passed the 11+ went to grammar school, grammar school was considered better. But secondary schools taught practical things like art and cookery. Also, people who failed and went to secondary school, often didn’t get qualifications and went straight to work.
