Fifteen-year-old Santana is planning a lavish 16th birthday party, to include a 16-tier cake decorated with fireworks.
No longer at school, Santana spends a lot of her time cleaning the family chalet. While 16-year-old Cassa is bucking the trend of many traveller teens by still going to school, is her motivation qualifications, or the opportunity to attend the prom in a giant Barbie-inspired prom dress?
Meanwhile, Alice left school after primary and works at her dad's horse fair. But her best friend Angel has decided to stay on and plans to take her GCSEs.
Angel's decision to continue her education has been made harder due to the racial abuse she experiences at school.
