Summary
The enquiry outlined below is part of one which surveyed the school‐college linked course in the County of Herefordshire. As a result of the survey it was possible to construct bases for the judgement of the relative success of the linked course as a part of the secondary curriculum.
Comments from seventy teachers and others engaged in education together with statements from the relevant literature on the subject were used to write an attitude scale. This scale was applied to 273 past and present pupils of a mixed four‐form entry rural comprehensive school with about 550 pupils. The measure of the success of linked courses was derived from the results of the test of the pupil's attitude.
