I suspect the problem is this:
$_SESSION['pupilfield'] = trim($_POST['pupilfield']);
$_SESSION['gender'] = trim($_POST['gender']);

After the second form, this $_POST values are non-existent, so null, and
hence $_SESSION[key] get's set to null.

Use:
$_SESSION[key] = (isset($_POST[key])) ? trim($_POST[key]) : $_SESSION[key];
