Queen Elizabeth II Visits a Secondary Modern School (1962)
On this day in 1962, Queen Elizabeth II paid a visit to Charters Secondary School in Berkshire, England, to see up close what sort of work is done in England's secondary modern schools. Under the post-war tripartite education system, the majority of pupils between 11 and 15 were educated at secondary modern schools. Seeing children being given lessons in woodwork, home economics, and dancing, the Queen was given a sense of how the other half learned.

Reel History of Britain Ep 15 Britain's Secondary Modern Schools
Melvyn Bragg, accompanied by a vintage mobile cinema, travels across the country, to show incredible footage preserved by the British Film Institute and other national and regional film archives, and tell the history of modern Britain.
This episode comes from the Francis Combe Academy in Watford and looks back to the 1960s, a time when passing or failing an exam - the eleven-plus - could map out a child's future.
Former Francis Combe pupil Bernie Batchelor comes face-to-face with his mischievous 12-year-old former self; former TV presenter Marylyn Mason explains how failing the eleven-plus drove her to work harder in later life, and pioneering film-maker John Krish, who made a documentary about this very school back in 1962, shares his memories of filming at the school.

Our School (1962) - extract
By kind permission of the National Union of Teachers, here is a scene from a documentary they commissioned about the Francis Combe County Secondary School in Hertfordshire (interestingly, a secondary modern as opposed to a higher-profile grammar school). It's a fascinating record of teaching styles at the time, as demonstrated here in which a Scottish teacher discusses accents and ways of speaking with his pupils. You can read more about the film at: http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1078626/index.html

Morris Wordsworth Balby Secondary Modern School (Ossie) Pupil 1949-53
This is an 'Ossie through the Ages' production that features one of the great contributors to British Basketball, Morris Wordsworth. Watch as he tells his story of being inspired by one teacher’s passion for a sport and how as a result, a group of lads based out of Oswin Avenue School Gymnasium formed a basketball team. Clad in iconic black kit, they became known as ‘The Panthers’.
In the following three decades, the Panthers enjoyed continued success on National and International courts. Although the number of former Oswin Avenue pupils playing for the Panthers dwindled over the years, Morris Wordsworth remained a constant link to the team’s ‘Ossie’ routes.
Whilst financial restraints saw the demise of the team, its legacy cannot be erased from the record. It can be argued that the Pan...

This is an 'Ossie through the Ages' production that features one of the great contributors to British Basketball, Morris Wordsworth. Watch as he tells his story of being inspired by one teacher’s passion for a sport and how as a result, a group of lads based out of Oswin Avenue School Gymnasium formed a basketball team. Clad in iconic black kit, they became known as ‘The Panthers’.
In the following three decades, the Panthers enjoyed continued success on National and International courts. Although the number of former Oswin Avenue pupils playing for the Panthers dwindled over the years, Morris Wordsworth remained a constant link to the team’s ‘Ossie’ routes.
Whilst financial restraints saw the demise of the team, its legacy cannot be erased from the record. It can be argued that the Panthers personified the philosophy of their leader, constantly seeking out and rising to new challenges.
Morris Wordsworth built both a team and a career in the sport demanding of lasting respect. Wordsworth
