What is another word for secondary modern school?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛkəndəɹi mˈɒdən skˈuːl] (IPA) 
A "secondary modern school" was a type of school in the UK for pupils aged between 11 and 16. The school was designed for students who did not pass the 11+ examination and were not accepted into the more academic grammar schools. Nowadays, the term "secondary modern" is rarely used. Instead, the phrase "comprehensive school" is used to describe schools that educate pupils of all abilities. Other synonyms for "secondary modern school" include "non-selective school," "community school," or simply "high school." These terms reflect the changes in education policies over time and how the focus has shifted from selective education to more inclusive approaches that seek to provide quality education for all students.
