Statement of Intent

Class in Education: Class is a defining factor in British culture, especially evident when looked through with the micro lens of schooling. School is compulsory in jersey from ages 5-16 and is a shared experience for all jersey citizens however the experience itself is often completely different and varies depending on class and financial status which seems unfair when considering how our education sets us up for later life, whether we are a success or a failure. There is a dramatic difference in the top schools and the bottom which we would like to study through photography and film. In the UK the best universities and schools are mostly only available to the most high-class pupils with the only exceptions for the academically gifted who push through class creating elitist segregation through education that continue to later life. We wish to bring to light this issue by photographing different types of students and schools.
