British Documentary exploring the emotional effects of boarding school on young kids and their heart-torn parents.

There is a cliché of boarding schools existing just so that rich distant parents can unburden themselves of their kids in search of less responsibility and a life of luxuries. Although this might be the true for some, like most clichés the reality for most cases is vastly different.

At Highfield Prep School in Hampshire, four new 8 year olds are about to find a new home that could shape the course of their whole lives. All coming from military families that are constantly on the move, every one of these girls parents decided that being in a stable environment as well as getting a top class education was the best way for them to grow up. But what kind of emotional strain does this put on both the homesick kids and their yearning parents.
