Summary
The staff and pupils return for a fresh term - and ruling the roost is new headmaster Michael Byrne, brought in by the education authority to turn the school around. But he has his own demons, having been attacked by a knife-wielding pupil at his last school - and when the boy is acquitted of attempted murder, the aggrieved teacher vows revenge. The old staff have their noses put out of joint when the head also introduces his own team of high-achieving teachers, while brothers and new pupils Phoenix and Harley have a shocking start to the day when they discover the death of their nan. Alec Newman (Hope Springs), Jaye Jacobs (Holby City's Donna) and Alex Walkinshaw (The Bill's Smithy) all join the cast
Review
Karen Fisher’s “mollycoddling ways” do not impress her successor, super-head Michael Byrne (Alec Newman), a hard-liner who bears the scars of out-of-control pupils. Literally. He was stabbed by one. He’s brought in high-achieving staff (Holby City’s Jaye Jacobs and The Bill’s Alex Walkinshaw), as well as policies that go down with the old guard like detention duty on a sunny Friday.
Add a gang of lads who’ve been excluded from everywhere for unruly behaviour (they make naughty boy Finn look like an angel), a couple of youngsters with a secret (and not just that their dad is played by John Thomson) and this term looks like it’s going to be a tough one.
