Circular 10/65
Circular 10/65
was a
government circular
issued in 1965 by the
Department of Education and Science
(DES) requesting Local Education Authorities (LEAs) in
England and Wales
to begin converting their secondary schools to the
Comprehensive System
. For most of England and Wales, it marked the abolition of the old
grammar schools
and
secondary moderns
, and the
Eleven Plus
examination. Circular 10/65 was the initiative of recently appointed Education Secretary
Anthony Crosland
; it is sometimes called the
Crosland Circular
. It reflected the Labour government's view that the existing
Tripartite System
of education was flawed, and had to be replaced with
comprehensive schools
, which had been increasing in number over the previous sixteen years.
