List TV programmes about schools

[bcareathe]

I'm fascinated by TV programmes filmed in real schools (not ones invented for the programme!) - doesn't really matter what kind of school or what age children, they're all interesting. I want something to watch and am wondering if I've missed any - also, maybe there are other people here who might have missed some of the ones I've seen. So here's a list of the ones I can think of:

• Britain's Biggest Primary School, Channel 5, recent, state primary
• Educating Essex, Channel 4, 2011, state comprehensive
• Educating Yorkshire, Channel 4, 2013, state comprehensive
• My Life: most famous school in the world, CBBC, 2014, independent senior
• Britain's Youngest Boarders, BBC2, 2010, independent prep
• Tough Young Teachers, BBC3, 2014, several state comprehensives
• Secret Life of the Classroom, Channel4, 2006?, state primary
• Harrow: a very British school, Sky1, 2013, independent senior

What have I missed? Or, what should they make, if it doesn't exist?

CBBC Our School

Thanks! Any more, anyone? I think there are some much older ones, but say from the last decade?

Educating the East End - the most recent of the series

There was the Harrow one about the Peter Beckwith Scholarship, Too poor for posh school.

There was the one where Gareth Malone tried to cure everything wrong with education by forming a choir

Rhod Gilbert did a 'Work Experience' programme as a teacher......

CBBC School for Stars

There was a series about people trying to get their kids to grammar schools. Not actually set in an individual school, but quite an eye-opener.
Also there have been several programmes about life as a chorister and the associated music school (I can't remember if they were series in themselves, or just episodes in the various programmes about cathedral life).
Sorry a bit lacking in details

Will watch this thread with interest. MIL is a primary school teacher in Australia and enjoys watching documentaries on British schools when she visits.

Can I slip in one of my only claims to fame here? The suave headmaster of Harrow and his wife sat next to us in a coffee shop a few months ago. They were charming and spent lots of time admiring DD2 and her chubby arms. It took me a while to work out where I recognised them from.

There's a CBBC one about starting year 7 (airs in the autumn). Name eludes me for now, but definitely filmed in real schools.

Sorry - it's Our School (which LIZS has already mentioned)

Think the grammar school/school choice one was called The Big School Lottery? Was on BBC2 in 2010.

There was one last year set in Birmingham, looking at the options that a variety of dc had when making their choices for secondary.

Public School (about Radley) is on YouTube.

Have you seen Excluded:Kicked out of School? It's a series set in a pupil referral unit.

I know it's already been mentioned, but cbbc Our School is fab. (Conyers School.) Wish we lived near enough for my children to go there.
