What's it like being on the receiving end of the education system? What's it like being in Year 8, when progress can dip? This revealing series follows four Year 8 children, from Hove Park School in Sussex, offering snapshots of their perceptions and experience of school. The programmes interweaves intimate classroom footage with frank video diary recorded by the children at home. Bradley knows that he's a bundle of energy. In some subjects, like French and science, his teachers have keyed into his personality and devised strategies to keep him occupied, and he's achieving well. But elsewhere he can feel bored or left behind, and his energy and intelligence are spent finding ways around the system, playing computer games and chatting with his mates
