Harrowing was really quiet swotty
A geek and a little bit spotty
Squeezed a black head one day.
Hit the teacher they say
So he got the cane 'cross his botty

:T :rotfl: wondered if you were "plotting" an ode!

Certificate of Secondary Education

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search
The Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE) is the name of a school leaving qualification which was awarded in the period from 1965 to 1987 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It was introduced to provide an examination for the majority of pupils and was available in addition to GCE O-Levels which were aimed at the more academically-able pupils[1]. There were five pass grades in its grading system ranging from grades 1 to 5 with grade 1 being recognised as equivalent to one O-Level grade C pass or above. Pupils could take a mixture of CSEs and O-levels.

It was replaced along with the O-levels by the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) in 1988.

Yes H the CSE was a "lesser" qualiifcation and the standard was the GCE O level -although TBH I was in the lower set (we all graded those days) for Maths and physics and chemistry so took CSE and if you otained grades 1 and it was O level standard -and tbh they were ok and they were not at all for simple pupils
