In post-World War II England, Darrell Rivers is sent to Malory Towers, a boarding school in Cornwall, England. There, Darrell learns about kindness, honesty and empathy as she navigates her formative years with the help of her schoolmates and best friends. Based on Enid Blyton's books that were published in the late 1940s and early '50s, the TV series includes a more racially diverse and inclusive cast.
