This book explores the aspirations of 'working class' girls' in an
ex-mining community in the UK. It highlights the difficulties
present in these 'post-industrial' settings, which are often areas
of severe deprivation, and questions whether these place
limitations on the achievements of the girls within the community.
Based on an eight-year longitudinal study of girls in three primary
schools and two secondary schools which differed in levels of
attainment, the book examines the girls' initial aspirations,
decision-making, and later achievements when in post-compulsory
education. It will be compelling reading for students, academics
and practitioners in Education, offering a unique appreciation of
how working-class girls balance their own aspirations with the
educational opportunities perceived to be available to them.
