This programme visits two very different schools as they each host an Aimhigher event aimed at getting pupils to start thinking about their futures, and finds out what the visits mean to the schools. In Barnsley, South Yorkshire the whole of Year 10 at St Michael's High School is being treated to a performance from the Impact Theatre Company, a show aimed at introducing them to the wide range of options they have when they leave the school after their GCSEs. At Hampstead School in Camden, North London, the whole of Year 9 is off timetable for a progression day, organised in conjunction with Aimhigher. Amongst the visitors hosting workshops are nine Aimhigher student ambassadors from six London universities, who have come to give the low down on university life.
