Description (What the record is about)
- This dataset consists of data gathered from primary, middle and secondary schools in England during the Schools' Census conducted by the Department of Education and Science in 1980. As in other Schools' Censuses, the enumeration date was the third Thursday in January (17 January 1980). Most of the data reflects the position in schools on that date. The dataset covers the following types of schools: Primary schools, such as infants schools covering children aged 5-7; junior schools covering chidren aged 7-11; junior and infants schools covering both age groups; and first schools covering children aged"5 to 8, 9 or 10". Middle schools, in local education authorities (LEAs) employing a three-tier system of first schools, middle schools and secondary (usually comprehensive) schools. Depending on the age range of their pupils, middle schools were deemed to be either primary or secondary by order of the Secretary of State for Education and Science, or (for schools covering ages 9-13) by choice of the LEA. Secondary schools, such as comprehensive schools (schools with admission arrangements "without reference to ability and aptitude"), secondary modern schools, secondary grammar schools, technical schools and sixth form colleges. Immigrant centres (centres for teaching English as a second language), which catered for all age groups and provided "basic English language tuition, before enrolment in ordinary school, for children whose mother tongue is other than English". The dataset contains records for 28 institutions in this category. The dataset consists of a single table (scenf780) which contains one record per school. The field names and original field descriptions are taken from a data dictionary which was transferred with the dataset.
