Located at the seaside, Margate is among the poorest towns of southern England with an unemployment rate of 20%. This fact has a negative impact on parents' and students' attitudes towards learning. In King Ethelbert School, things are starting to change for the better, when the school introduced the International Baccalaureate (IBCC).

The idea of introducing the International Baccalaureate is to mix unconventional academic subjects and vocational training to better equip pupils for the needs in today's fast-changing world.  It's an approach that appears to be working at King Ethelbert School - some 70 percent of its student are now preparing to move on to university.
