Eleanor obvuiosly meant GCE

Probably.  It was rather a long time ago.

In my school (posh boarding school) you were either bright and did Latin or dim and did DS.  I had to do Latin but would have gained so many more life skills from DS, so I feel I was somewhat disadvantaged by my high intelligence.

No, she didn't.  That was why I asked, and got the relevant replies.

Have a nice day, as they say in America!

just pointing out that my reply was correct

[Angelo222]

The 11 plus was abolished in 76....were you still at school then.... I actually  think the present system is better... We are still producing just as many if not more professionals

I recall passing my mock 11+ but they changed the system that year and brought in so-called intelligence tests which I failed simply because we weren't ready for them.  I was accepted into grammar school however as a private feepaying student until I passed a further exam after a year. I always resented what occurred and the way we were treated as Guinea pigs.
