Next Episode of Educating Yorkshire is
unknown.
Twelve years ago the nation fell in love with the Bafta and Emmy award winning series, Educating Yorkshire. Millions tuned in every week to watch the students and staff of Thornhill Community Academy in Dewsbury, revealing the unvarnished highs and lows of life in a 21st Century secondary school. Most famously watching Year 11 student Musharaf, with the help of his inspirational English teacher Mr Burton, triumph in miraculous fashion over his stammer. Building on the legacy of Educating Yorkshire, but in a wholly new reinvention of the brand, Thornhill is opening its doors to cameras once more to tell the stories of modern Britain through the eyes of one brilliant school. And there are a lot of new stories to tell. Things have changed in the past decade, for the school and for the country.
GCSEs are edging closer, and students Skyler, Olivia and Falak are feeling the pressure. While Maths teacher Mrs Delaney-Hudson is determined to see her pupils succeed, headteacher Mr Burton leads a crackdown on mobile phone use. Year 11 student and prefect Falak is struggling with anxiety as the pressure to achieve high grades starts to feel overwhelming. Plus, a special guest returns to the school.
Self-described 'massive nerd' Ismaeel campaigns for a place in student parliament with hopes of getting everyone to love school as much as he does. Newly qualified maths teacher Mr Geary has his work cut out handling the more challenging students and with a national shortage of teachers, the rest of the staff come together to encourage him to find the joy in the job.
The staff deal with the arrival of 191 new Year Seven pupils, including a girl who has lost the sight in one eye, and who faces the daunting prospect of her first reading test. An excitable boy's excessive energy lands him in trouble, but Miss Nurse and Miss Healey suggest that a part in the school play might be a way to channel his enthusiasm.
Pressure builds for the year 11 students as the school year draws to a close and ambitious year 10 students Darcie and Alexa go head-to-head in a race to become Head Girl. Mr Burton reflects on the challenges and successes of the academic year.
