IU features in BBC Documentary with John Humphrys

Gemma Fagbadegun

We were delighted to be featured in the BBC2 Documentary, 'Unequal Opportunities with John Humphrys' the other night. The programme explored the attainment gap between advantaged and disadvantaged pupils, visiting state and private schools in order to ascertain how best to tackle the disparities. In the clip below, John Humphrys visits Old Ford Primary School, a partner school of ours, and discusses a recent IU FOCUS trip to the University of Cambridge with the children. It was heartwarming to hear how the trip had raised the aspirations of the primary students who took part, with one child quoting:

"IntoUniversity... inspired us to go to university, so then we could succeed in life"
