Imagine you’re a student in an isolated secondary school in a rural, coastal or former industrial area of England. You look and sound like all your classmates; there’s very little diversity. The only hot meal many of you get each day is in the school hall at lunchtime. You want to learn, but sometimes teachers leave during the school year and it’s disruptive.
Imagine you’re a teacher at the school. You and your colleagues want to collaborate with other schools to improve the quality of teaching for your students, but it takes too long to travel along narrow country lanes to get there. You want to broaden your students’ horizons, but cultural sites are too far away and too expensive to travel to.
