Abstract	This paper, based on ESRC-funded research work in four case study schools, explores the "pressures" to "deliver" which bear upon English secondary schools in relation to GCSE performance. It further illustrates the ways in which pressure is transformed into tactics which focus on particular students, with the effect of "rationing" education in the schools. Foucault's analysis from "Discipline and Punish" is deployed to examine these tactics and to relate them to more general changes in the regime of techniques and "play of dominations" operating in English schools. (Contains 1 figure and 3 notes.) (As Provided).
