Vocation

Vocation tells the story of Maggie, a newly qualified teacher in a Non Mainstream Specialist School who has been given a class for the first time, but when faced with a crumbling system, a lack of support and impossible standards things quickly start to unravel.
Vocation explores what happens when the people who care, aren't cared for and is a battle cry for urgent Educational reform.
