Secondary modern schools are a type of school in the UK educational system. They have been all but phased out and replaced by comprehensive and other schools. The Secondary modern school was introduced by the 1944 Education Act. Pupils who did not pass the '11 Plus' examination usually went to them. They were rather looked down on by many people, but often provided a good education. Labour Party politicians such as Shirley Williams were strongly in favour of comprehensive schools and their introduction, especially from 1964 onwards. Many people in turn have condemned the comprehensive school system for the 'lowering of standards' which is much-debated in the UK at the moment.
