Charlotte Smith goes back to school to discuss how best to educate young people about farming. She meets students and staff at Brymore Academy, a state boarding school which specialises in agriculture. From next year farming and land based BTEC courses will no longer count towards school league tables and the future of land based GCSEs is also uncertain. The headteacher of Brymore, Mark Thomas, explains why he believes farming deserves a place on the curriculum.
