Me! I was just about to start this thread but you beat me to it.

I am a bit shocked actually. Some of these kids seem feral...

Me! Liking it already, the girl with the head teacher is so like Catherine Tate's Lauren character, the kids seem to give far more lip than when I was at school thought

I just started watching it. It is nowhere near as bad as some of the schools I have worked in...and most of them were 'good' schools Grin

My history teacher was a god. We all loved him and I was delighted to find that when he retired a couple of years ago his current pupils started a facebook page in his praise.

Mind you another history teacher married a girl in my year. Bet that doesn't happen in this programme....

I work in harlow and my friends children go there and has one in yr 11.
Apparently Mr drew is legend but she is dreading watching it as she is worried about the picture of the school it will paint

Well, if your DH thinks it's a spoof, then the south of the river school that I work at is a spoof every day! WinkGrin

Agree, Norman. This is pretty tame compared to one school in particular I worked at.

NT Normal???? I admit I haven't been in a secondary school since 198 but surely modern schools aren't really like this? Really??

They aren't allowed them, which is why they're confiscated if they're seen.

In a school that size you couldn't check everyone's bag.

It's not a spoof. I know someone who worked on it. That Dep Head is amazing!
