One major purpose of this study was to compare the opinions of students, their parents and the teaching staff, on desirable overall educational objectives for students at a particular high school. The comparisons were made at all six form levels in the school. A second major purpose was to assess the stability of opinions at each form level after the elapse of twelve months. The investigation was carried out in a traditional, coeducational, suburban high school, situated in a middle class area. Respondents were asked to complete a questionnaire containing 27 statements of educational objectives for students, and responses were made on a five-point scale of importance. Significant differences between the means of responses of parents and teachers were few in number and generally arose from teachers giving lower ratings than parents in junior forms and higher ratings than parents in senior forms. Teachers attached greater importance to cultural objectives than parents or students, but teachers, parents and students tended to agree on the importance of artistic objectives. Parents and teachers consistently attached greater importance than students to attitudes to school and learning. Some significant differences between parents and teachers again rose because teachers gave lower ratings than parents in the junior forms and higher ratings in the senior forms. Students consistently attached less importance than parents and teachers to social objectives reflecting general community concern and there were no significant differences between teachers and parents. Students also attached less importance than parents or teachers to social skills of a personal developmental kind.
