Summary:

A look at one secondary school's use of aspirational targets, focusing on an English lesson and an RE lesson that utilise teaching resources from the Sport Relief 08 fund-raising campaign for Comic Relief. King Edward VI School in Bury St Edmunds has adopted a whole-school approach to raising attainment. Val McGregor, a DCSF Schools Standards Adviser, is convinced of the importance of setting aspirational targets. Val observes and comments on an English lesson at the school which uses a Sport Relief 08 educational resource to help a Year 9 class think more deeply about their hopes and aspirations. She also assesses an RE lesson that is designed to develop problem-solving and the setting of small personal goals.
