Storyline
Ian George, the head of an exclusive school, is asked to take a look at Hope Park Comprehensive School, which is in special measures, and asked to confirm its closure. The outgoing head breaks down during his farewell speech and delivers an emotional rant against the students, telling them how worthless they are. After meeting staff and pupils, George believes there is some hope for the school. The show was inspired by a real head teacher named William Atkinson.
