I want to render a partial from two different views (class/index;
cohort/index) in order to iterate (?) through the pupils model using
_pupil.html.erb (in the pupils/views directory)
class has many pupils
cohort has many pupils
pupil belongs to class
pupil belongs to cohort
It works well, and the _pupil.html.erb partial is rendered correctly
from both views.
* But, and this is the thing, I want the pupil partial to be slightly
different in each case i.e. when it's called from cohort/index I want
to display the pupil data in a table, but not when it's rendered from
class/index.
How do I go about having two _pupil.html.erb partials without breaking
links between views/controllers/models please?

Why wouldn't you just move views/pupils/_pupil.html.erb into views/class/_pupil.html.erb and views/cohort/_pupil.html.erb and change them to do what you want? Then update the render :partial calls from the two calling files to look to their own version?
