In this paper, Leslie Francis, Mansel
Jones Fellow of Trinity College,
Carmarthen, reports on the findings of
a study which explores the attitudes of
pupils to schools of different size.
A semantic differentiated scale of
attitude towards school was completed
by 4,746 pupils from 192 primary
or junior schools. Those attending
schools of 60 or fewer pupils were
found to be significantly more positive
in their attitudes than those attending
larger schools.
