The tripartite system used the 11+ exam to select pupils for:

popular schools that lay outside their catchment area
private, public and comprehensive schools
grammar, technical, and secondary modern schools
polytechnics, colleges and universities
grammar, technical, and secondary modern schools  The Education Act of 1944 created a tripartite structure of three types of institution: grammar schools, secondary moderns and technical schools. Pupils were selected for one of these by their performance in the 11+ exam, taken at the age of 11. However, it can be argued that the grammar schools were elitist and recruited those who possessed what Bourdieu called the ‘cultural capital’ needed to succeed, while secondary moderns essentially provided elementary education for the working classes. 330-331
