S ummary . Studies of streaming policy typically show small differences in average attainment between different school regimes. Data are presented for 13 mixed‐sex junior schools which show different effects of school regime on boys’ and girls’ attainment in relation to intelligence. Individual differences in Reading and Comprehension are more strongly related to differences in intelligence among boys in streamed schools and among girls in non‐streamed schools. The finding for Arithmetic is in the same direction but cannot be stated with the same confidence.
