Abstract

This paper explores community bonds, divisions and the cultural aspirations of young people in Welsh schools. It draws,
in particular, on data on how teachers view support given to those in varying extents of poverty, especially focussing on
those have with little cultural, parental, school, and community supports. The paper will outline the exclusionary impacts
of social and educational measures of poverty, showing how these shape school responses and community resources.
