S ummary . A 40‐item, Likert‐type attitude inventory was completed by a sample of 448 teachers in schools with sixth forms. The inventory comprised five scales of equal length relating to attitudes to sixth form education defined in discussion with teachers and through searches of the relevant literature. A first order factor analysis yielded eight factors, six of which are interpreted. A second order analysis is described in which two factors only are retained from the eight principal components. It is concluded that this analysis shows features similar to those discovered in studies of American teachers, and provides some confirmation for the view that attitudes towards education are basically dualistic. Implications for policy making in the area of sixth form education are briefly discussed
