Changing schools at 11 or 12+ is a critical, often traumatic event
in a pupil's career. Earlier studies had looked at this
transitional stage from the schools' point of view, in the light of
institutional aims and objectives. Originally published in 1984,
this richly detailed and readable study looks at it from the
pupils' point of view: it illustrates their perceptions of the
transfer, their anxieties and their experiences. The book is the
result of a research project, in which children transferring from a
typical middle school to a typical comprehensive in a Midlands town
were observed over a period of eighteen months. The authors reveal
various ways in which children adjust to a large, more complex
school organisation, to new forms of discipline and authority, and
new demands in school work. They emphasise the significance of
teenage culture during this period, and identify an important area
of interplay between school culture and sub-culture. They pay
special attention to gender identities, and the ways in which these
affect pupils' responses to different subjects in the curriculum.
Finally, they consider the theoretical and policy implications of
their survey, and make positive recommendations for improving
school and classroom practice at both primary and secondary level.
