Brymore School of Rural Technology is a Somerset state boarding school that puts farming and food at the heart of the curriculum. As well as offering the usual school subjects, boys have to take NVQs in agriculture and horticulture, and all take their turn in the milking shed, farm and walled gardens. And through this approach the school improves pupils’ often very poor previous academic achievement.

Sheila Dillon visits the school and speaks to pupils, teachers, governors and local businesses to find out what impact and relevance a rural education has in today's world.
