Really going to miss this show!

Surely I'm not the only one watching...

I loved watching this program, and if anyone out there knows Mr. Goddard and MR Drew in RL please tell them from me that THEY ARE MY HEROES.

My friends children go to the school, All the parents are petrified that someone will headhunt Mr Drew or Mr Goddard.

Mr Goddard and Mr Drew are an ACE team together.
How fantastic it must be to work for a boss that truly appreciates everything you do and vice versa.
There's probably not many of us that can say that.
I hope we get another series.

What a fantastic programme - a real education, pardon the pun. I was born in Harlow and went to a very similar school (not in Harlow though).

Poor Vinnie, clearly a bright kid. I did understand why they took a stand about the hair though, once you let one kid get away with it life becomes much harder in terms of discipline for the rest of the school.

And lovely Ryan, what can one say? I don't know anyone with Aspergers, I hear a lot about it on here but not much in RL. What a credit to himself, his parents and his school.

Wonder if they will do a followup.

I loved the series but I missed the last one. Must see if it's on catch-up. I hated seeing Vinnie go into care so sad that it sounds as if things don't work out too well for him.

The head teacher and deputy are just wonderful, aren't they? I really hope it makes people stop and think a little, seeing the work that the staff do, with such good humour and compassion. Teachers get such a slagging these days.

Agree that this has been a fantastic series. Hope there will be more. As a teacher myself it is lovely to see the effort that Mr Drew and all the others put in. Ryan's speech was v touching too.

This series made me want to get back into the classroom.

Ryan was a lovely charactet. So touching what he said to the head.
He did remind me of boris johnson thoughHmm
Obviously a younger version!
