Educating Yorkshire

Joining Passmores School's deputy head Mr Drew on the front line of school discipline. Dealing with emotional teenagers, enforcing detentions and maintaining the school's high standards - as well as teaching history - is all in a day's work for Mr Drew. Some love him, others love to hate him. It's the last few days of term before Christmas and Mr Drew has more to contend with than a few snowballs in the playground.

From cyber-harassment to an old-fashioned scrap, bullying is something that every school faces. Rebel Sam and model student Gabby come from opposite ends of the academic spectrum, but both of them, in different ways, have been affected by bullying. When Gabby starts to receive threatening text messages, deputy headteacher Mr Drew plays detective as he tries to discover the culprit and bring them to justice.

The school is dealing with a good kid heading in the wrong direction. Charming but cheeky Vinni was a model student when he started at the school, but since the recent break-up of Vinni's parents' marriage his behaviour has deteriorated. So much so that head teacher Mr Goddard worries whether Vinni will make it to the end of Year 11. Some staff question how far the school can go to keep him in school.

Passmores School is dealing with friends in their final academic year who are facing very different challenges. Sky and Liam's world is turned upside down when they discover they're expecting a baby. Sky desperately wants to finish school, but will she manage to when the baby is due at the same time as her GCSEs? Luke has a troubled relationship with school. His temper can get the better of him and the staff are worried.

As Mollie finds herself on report to him so begins a series of demanding, but often delightful, daily encounters between teacher and pupil. Another regular with Mr Drew is Mollie's equally bright sister Charlotte, who viewers saw bantering with the Deputy Head earlier in the series. Can the school's teachers coax the two talented girls to finally apply their energy to their academic work?
