ABSTRACT
This chapter describes work which explores some evidence on the differences in atmosphere between co-educational and single-sex secondary schools but at the same time, by the use of an indirect technique on the attitude of a new sample of students towards their schools. It examines whether the tenor of previous findings is confirmed. It is also hypothesized that such differences in the evaluation of school concepts may well be greater between the women's groups than between the men's. For the men's groups there is virtual equality between the co-educated and the single-sex educated on the evaluation of 'my school', and for 'schoolteacher' a non-significantly higher evaluation among those from boys' schools. The differences between the co-educated students and those from single-sex schools are smaller for the university concepts than for the school concepts.
