A question for British members

Yesterday when I clearing out a shelf I found my old reports from when I was at school in the 70s. They all stated which position I was in the class , for example : 5th out of 33.
Is that still done in British schools?
I've been away from England for nany years.

I doubt if it is. My reports, in the 60s, always said what position I had achieved in end of year exams and so on, while also commenting on general work. Personally I think it’s better to be open about, rather than hiding underneath waffle which is what may happen nowadays.

@MartinII I have seen my mother's old reports from the 1930s. They had it back then.
