Title
Primary, Middle and Secondary Schools: 1991 dataset
Date
1991
Description
This dataset consists of data gathered from schools in England during the Schools' Census conducted by the Department of Education and Science in 1991. The enumeration date was the third Thursday in January (17 January 1991). The dataset covers Primary, Secondary, and Middle schools. City Technology Colleges are also included (there are 7 in 1991), and 2 categories for Grant-maintained Middle or Grant-maintained Secondary schools. The three main school types are further subdivided according to two classification schemes. Users are advised to display the fields PSMO, E-TYPE and F7TYPE88 together to obtain the complete picture. In addition, the field STATUSS distinguishes the various categories of LEA Maintained schools and identifies those schools under the aegis of the DES or not, Governing Body controlled schools, and Charitable Trust schools. The dataset also includes data on nursery classes and nursery pupils in primary schools, and a little data (mainly totals) on special classes and disabled pupils in primary, middle and secondary schools. The dataset consists of a single table containing one record for each school.
