Focusing on pupils moving from primary to middle or secondary
school, it describes and evaluates the schools programmes to ease
transfer, and includes material provided by the pupils themselves.
The main body of the book is a rich and detailed account of the
first months of life in new secondary schools, where the pleasures
and perils of new friends, new teachers and new subjects, and a new
approach to teaching are encountered. The book conveys vividly how
pupils experience a new environment, and meet its dangers, rules
and regulations, timetable, complex groupings and ideology.
Inside the Secondary Classroom was the first comparative
ethnography of school life in Britain, carried out in six schools.
It reveals surprising similarities and differences between them.The
cases studied range from highly successful pupils with nine O
levels to others with severe social and personal problems.
