Formal Integrated Schools

g. Grammar Provision

45. The general policy in relation to grammar provision is that there should be sufficient grammar places in a local area for all grade As and about 80% of grade Bs, ie about 33% of the Transfer Age Group. If that level of provision already exists there is no case for additional provision. More specifically, it is considered that a Grammar School should have a viable 6' form. The Department's general view on C form provision, is that, in order to provide a broad and balanced W level curriculum, at least 1 6- 10 out of the 14 most popular subjects should be available and for this level of provision to be viable and cost effective a minimum of 80W level pupils would be required post 16. No specific proposals to change this policy for integrated schools were put forward.
