00:00Over a decade ago, the nation fell in love with a school in Yorkshire.
00:06When I browns, you should have told me I browns on.
00:09This is a coffee, coffee. Keep me awake, you know.
00:12And an inspiring English teacher, Mr. Burton.
00:15It's the same moment when the trees are loose.
00:18Bloody hell. That's insane.
00:21Now, ten years on, Mr. Burton's been promoted to head teacher.
00:26Shirts in, ties on, coats off.
00:28Slide the smirk off your face now.
00:31Don't make myself clear.
00:32You should be really, really, really proud of your achievements.
00:35In that time, we've had six prime ministers.
00:38A global pandemic.
00:40That's a bit dramatic.
00:41And Huddersfield Town have been in and out of the Premier League.
00:45Now, the cameras are back.
00:47These lot are insane.
00:49To capture the new challenges.
00:51Get rid of Snapchat, TikTok, get rid of Instagram.
00:54Facing the school.
00:55I'm not a therapist, you know.
00:57No!
00:58He said, leave me alone.
00:59I can tell you, you don't want me here.
01:00We do want you here, pal.
01:01It's a difficult world that we live in now.
01:03And it's a difficult world to grow up in.
01:05But these are moments that, hopefully, children will look back on.
01:08And the years to come and think, actually, I learned a lot from that school.
01:11Call me fat sly.
01:12Come on.
01:13How old are we?
01:14Five.
01:15Can we just talk about the fact that you kissed my ex-boyfriend?
01:18So we spent a year.
01:19I love him so much.
01:20Seeing the troubles.
01:21No.
01:22Tears.
01:23There's so much to do.
01:24It's toxic.
01:25It's dragging you down the wrong path.
01:27And triumphs.
01:28You little legend.
01:30Ready?
01:31Woo!
01:32Through the eyes of the staff.
01:34You've committed a criminal offence.
01:36And the students at the very start of adult life.
01:41My aim is to inspire you to achieve your goals.
01:45Time flies when you're having fun, baby cakes.
01:49Baby cakes?
01:50That was the most mentally exhausting three months of my entire life.
01:55Life would be so much easier working in a school if there were no students.
01:59Welcome to the world of education!
02:02Year 10 at Thornhill is a year where students often face a lot of big changes.
02:18Morning girls.
02:19You alright?
02:20Being in year 10 is a really tricky age.
02:24They are starting a new chapter in their life.
02:27That does set off a new set of expectations, a new level of scrutiny.
02:31It's a time in your life where relationships with friends and family are often morphing
02:45and changing into something very, very different.
02:47Where did the crisp hit him?
02:49In his eyes.
02:50In his eyes.
02:51And probably their understanding of themselves is changing hugely.
02:54I found a ruler.
02:55Turn it around.
02:56No.
02:57No.
02:58No.
02:59The ruler.
03:00It's like a magician came in and gave a voice to a Labrador or something.
03:04It's also the start of a journey that will end up with that brown envelope full of GCSEs.
03:09And that becomes really scary, really quickly for a lot of those young people.
03:12Ooh!
03:13Can't be bold words.
03:14Can't be bold words.
03:15Big built words.
03:16One, two, three, four, four, three.
03:18Two, three, four, for a letter.
03:19One, two, three, four, four, four look at the meinem book.
03:20One, two, three, four.
03:21Proother talking.
03:22It says stop.
03:23It says stop.
03:24It's period one.
03:28Science.
03:33Argh!
03:35Go outside.
03:37Take goggles off and go outside.
03:41Gets a bit crazy in the lab.
03:43Keep that on your eyes.
03:4414-year-old Scott had a difficult year nine at Thornhill,
03:47but is full of good intentions for year 10.
03:51In year nine, I was getting a lot of detentions,
03:53like nearly every day.
03:54Scott, make a start now, please.
03:58But year 10, it just hit me with everything.
04:01I think I need to settle down now, like, calm down a bit.
04:04You've got an ionic compound.
04:06What's an ion, Scott?
04:08An ideas?
04:09A charged particle.
04:10A charged particle.
04:11Excellent.
04:12That is literally it.
04:13Scott is really strong at science,
04:15and he really enjoys it.
04:17I think he's more able than he thinks he is,
04:19but he's very easily distracted.
04:21There is a required practical to do,
04:23and I want to get on with it as quickly as possible.
04:25I am going to let you work with who you want to work with.
04:28You don't need to go,
04:29are you working with me?
04:30Because no one else wants to work with you, Scott,
04:31so it's fine.
04:32And no one else is going to choose Keyon,
04:33so you can definitely work together.
04:36What's the face for?
04:38Like me.
04:39I don't know why you're talking to me, to be honest.
04:40Wow.
04:41Go outside.
04:42What?
04:43Go outside.
04:44Oh, my dears.
04:45There's no way.
04:47Thanks.
04:48What's the first thing you're going to do?
04:50Take the equipment.
04:52Wrong.
04:53What's the first thing you're going to do?
04:54Get the outlet.
04:55Wrong.
04:56First thing you're going to do?
04:57Scott does sometimes cross the line,
04:59and it can definitely be a big distraction in the class.
05:02Stop talking.
05:03I wish I could actually teach.
05:05At the end of the day, we are here trying to get our GCSEs,
05:07and I am a teacher, not a comedian or a children's entertainer.
05:16Sorry for saying that.
05:17Sorry.
05:18I shouldn't have said that at all.
05:19I'm really sorry.
05:20We need to remember that I am a teacher and your student.
05:21That's the only thing.
05:22I know.
05:23OK.
05:24So I had to do this a few times, hadn't I?
05:25Yeah.
05:26Just re-establishing boundaries.
05:27Yeah.
05:28All right?
05:29Mm-hm.
05:30Sound.
05:31Come on.
05:32Out of class, Scott's rarely without his best mates.
05:35Alfie, Medan and Keogh.
05:38Ah!
05:39They're often found working off their excess energy
05:42in the Thornhill corridors.
05:44Yeah!
05:45Get done.
05:46I've got boys, mate.
05:47We love winding each other up.
05:49It's literally what we do all day, every day.
05:51If it's, like, hitting each other, smacking each other,
05:54taking some off each other, it's just do whatever we can
05:56to wind each other up.
05:58If I'm with people that I find funny,
06:00I just tend to start just misbehaving.
06:04Oi!
06:05When was the last time you got in trouble?
06:07Today.
06:08They are just your typical teenage boys.
06:10All right, let's just leave him.
06:11Let's just leave, let's just leave.
06:12They're boisterous.
06:13Bye, Felicia.
06:14And they're daft.
06:17They're just trying to find anything that'll push a button.
06:20I'm going to smell.
06:22You flinch more than me.
06:23When we're together, it's like we all feed off each other.
06:26Mom!
06:27Most of the time, we go too far.
06:28Yeah, no, go outside, please.
06:29We need to go outside.
06:31The Year 10 boys are in the canteen.
06:34Cian, step away, please.
06:36Step away.
06:37I'm just walking again.
06:38Alfie, you can come with me to the laboratory.
06:41He's got a laboratory.
06:43No, he doesn't need an entourage.
06:46Today, Scott's not with them.
06:48His friends have wound him up and he's now roaming the corridors,
06:52having lost his temper.
06:54F*** off and leave me alone.
06:57F***ing watch where you're going, you daft f***er!
07:04Mr Young, I'm just going to log abusive language from Scott H.
07:07Can you pick him up, please?
07:09Yeah, what is it?
07:11Step out and about.
07:13Scott is walking around extremely angry and upset.
07:20When I get angry, I don't really think.
07:24Whatever comes into my brain that I need to do, I just do.
07:28I'll go and read the right act.
07:30Scott, is that happening too much, is this?
07:32The kid banged a door in my face!
07:34You're not going to walk around school shouting and swearing at people.
07:36I'm going to level with you, Scott.
07:39Your behaviour at the moment is nowhere near where we need it to be.
07:43I'm trying to get out of trouble, but everyone's following me.
07:45No, no, no.
07:46It's all right, sir.
07:47Right, Scott, what's going on, lads?
07:51I think what I'm learning about Scott is that he holds all this frustration in
07:55and then it just comes out.
07:57But when you look at your friendship circle
08:00and Alfie and Keone and all the rest of it,
08:03it's a lively mix of social time.
08:07It's toxic, and it is dragging you down the wrong path.
08:11Because if you cannot conduct yourself in the right way,
08:13if you can't be a leader in your year group, Scott,
08:17it isn't going to work out.
08:19I tried getting away from them.
08:21No, no, no, no.
08:22You are swearing on a corridor
08:23and then you're refusing to do what I'm telling you to do.
08:25It is not acceptable.
08:29You don't know how much is going on?
08:31I think you'd be surprised at how much I do know is going on.
08:33You haven't got a clue.
08:34So that means that you can swear at people in school, does it?
08:36Like I said, I shouldn't be swearing on that.
08:38Yeah, you're absolutely right, you shouldn't be.
08:40And if the only thing in your life that's a positive at the moment
08:43is the opportunity that you have got to be a professional sports person,
08:46right now it looks to me as if you are setting that piece of paper
08:49right on fire.
08:50And if you think I won't pick the phone up and speak to your coach
08:54and let the academy know exactly how you're behaving,
08:57then you've got another thing coming.
09:02You can shake your head all you like, Scott, but that's how it goes.
09:07I am quite tough on Scott because I expect the best from him.
09:10Because what we do need to keep an eye on is his potential
09:13and his potential is fantastic.
09:15Go on then, Scott.
09:16Scott is a gifted rugby league player.
09:19Outside school, he's at a professional club's academy,
09:23the Bradford Bulls.
09:31He's got this exceptional, exceptional talent that can be his career.
09:37The club are in regular contact with the school
09:39to check on Scott's progress.
09:41If he's not behaving, he risks being released by them.
09:48If I'm proper, proper annoyed, it does get overwhelming.
09:52Like, you just want to be left alone.
10:01The gentleman just leaves sensibly.
10:08He said to me he was vaping but he threw it in the bin.
10:10Why would you have a lighter?
10:11Yeah.
10:12He said for candles.
10:13What?
10:14Candles.
10:15That was my reaction.
10:16I said, why have you got a scented candle in?
10:18Are you plastering it or something?
10:19Bit of ginger spice for festive period.
10:35Just before I started high school, my mum,
10:37she bought us Mr Burton's book for going into high school.
10:42And then she made me get them signed.
10:45And I asked my PE teacher,
10:47can you ask Mr Burton if you can sign these books?
10:49But I want it anonymous.
10:50I don't want him to know it was me.
10:51And she's like, oh, yeah, absolutely.
10:52She went outside with the books.
10:54Then ten minutes later, he ran in saying,
10:56so, Alexa, I hear you're my biggest fan.
10:59You want me to, you know, get all your books signed?
11:02And I was like, I want it to die.
11:06What's it like having a famous headmaster?
11:08I mean, I wouldn't say he's famous,
11:10but, like, he blows his own trumpet quite a lot.
11:14You're walking down the corridor,
11:16be nice, work hard, work hard, be nice.
11:18I mean, it's a good message, but it's still mine
11:20when he's always shoving it down his neck.
11:23Scott's classmate, Alexa,
11:25is one of Year 10's keenest students.
11:28Mr Burton makes fun of me
11:29because he thinks I'm from an American sitcom
11:32because I volunteer at the church every Tuesday
11:35because I'm a young leader for girl guiding,
11:38and he makes fun of me for that
11:40and because I've never had a detention.
11:42We get rewards, and, like, with our rewards,
11:44we get badges sometimes.
11:46Erm, I had two more, but mine got stamped on.
11:52It's Friday.
11:53Alexa and best mate Ruby are heading into lunch
11:56to meet up with their other friends.
11:58Oh, I'm being pushed!
12:00She's pushing me!
12:01Girls, come on, play the game.
12:02I didn't do it.
12:04I think it's fair to say that at Year 10,
12:06there's a lot of hormones raging around
12:08and it's a perfect age for things to go spectacularly right
12:11and spectacularly wrong.
12:13What happened?
12:14Ruby pushed me.
12:15Aw, how evil!
12:17Lunch is an important time in the Year 10 social calendar,
12:21but friendships at this age can be pretty complicated.
12:25Friendship groups here, they're very set.
12:28We've been friends, we have to say love!
12:30Yeah, anyway.
12:31We've sat at our table, I think, since the start of Year 9.
12:34Every single day, that's where you go to,
12:36on, like, break or lunch to meet with your friends.
12:38I sit with Daisy and Ellie and Zainab,
12:42but I'm close with, like, Daisy and Ellie.
12:44I'm friends with Heidi and Abby.
12:47Me, Faye, Anakin, Summer, and Alexa.
12:50Darcy is Abby.
12:53Poppy and Ruby.
12:54Why are you wanting to get close?
12:55Nobody's so hot!
12:58We can get a lot of drama in Year 10.
13:01Oh, she said this and she said that,
13:03and, like, friendships breaking up.
13:05Oh!
13:06No!
13:07It can be a little bit overwhelming sometimes.
13:10It's really crazy.
13:12Shirts in, ties on, coats off, let's go!
13:15I think friendships for teenagers are hard,
13:17because as a teenager, you're trying to identify yourself,
13:20almost, and you're trying to find your place in the world.
13:23But I think that hyper-consciousness of everything that you do at that age
13:28does feed into their anxieties around life in general.
13:39Some gossip has been spread that Alexa's best mate Ruby has gone off her,
13:44causing an argument amongst the girls' friendship group.
13:48So, I don't know.
13:49Poppy came up to Alexa and said someone...
13:51..said that me and Alexa didn't want to be friends,
13:54but then Poppy said that it was all my fault.
13:57OK, first thing first, your date title LP is up on the board for you.
14:00I'm coming round with these do-nows...
14:02I told Alexa about it,
14:04but now Ruby and this other girl are saying that I've lied.
14:09I love Poppy,
14:10but I don't want to be friends with someone
14:13who's gossiping and having drama all the time.
14:16Is there anybody who wasn't here yesterday?
14:19Is Poppy not in today?
14:23Well, she made a right scene at lunchtime,
14:25like, she stood up like that and went,
14:27I'm so betrayed by you,
14:29and started screaming at Ruby and I was like,
14:31this is ridiculous, so I just walked away.
14:35The fallout with Poppy has upset Alexa so much,
14:39she's going to see Year 10 student manager,
14:41Mr Young, with Ruby.
14:43I think she feels betrayed by us both.
14:46What Poppy does?
14:48Poppy's saying that, she's honest about that,
14:49like, I hate them and everything.
14:51Right.
14:52Do you wait a letter?
14:53No.
14:54We're best friends.
14:55Yeah?
14:56Yeah, so I'm trying to resolve it in, like, a mature way,
14:58and she just walked and she said,
15:00oh, I'm leaving it till tomorrow,
15:01and I said, I don't want to leave it till tomorrow,
15:02because I'll just be stewing on it all night,
15:04and I've got bigger issues than just a falling out with friends at school.
15:08100%.
15:09And I genuinely can't make myself stop thinking about everything that's happening.
15:13Like, me and my mum fell out this morning,
15:15and it was something like nothing,
15:17but it's so upset me,
15:18because I don't want to fall out with her.
15:19My grandma's not well.
15:21There's just so much to do.
15:25And I feel so stupid, because I'm crying all the time.
15:27Well, you're not stupid at all.
15:31Your friends don't hate you.
15:33Miss dealing with tissues for the first time ever.
15:36All right?
15:37Yeah.
15:38I get very anxious about everything.
15:41I get really nervous about tests
15:43and about friendships breaking up.
15:46And this year with starting GCSEs,
15:48it's been really overwhelming.
15:50It gets a lot sometimes.
15:54You're a 14-year-old teenager.
15:56You're not super-run.
15:58So, I'll try and get you both together at end.
16:00OK.
16:01Papa says no, there's not much I can really do.
16:03No.
16:04All right.
16:05Cheers.
16:06Cheers.
16:09Macy!
16:12Alexa's a model student.
16:14She's somebody who you would think just glides through the school day.
16:17But then under the surface,
16:19she's got so many things that she worries about,
16:22so many things she panics about.
16:24Over-worrying is exhausting,
16:26and it can easily dominate your thinking.
16:30It's that dark cloud that you can carry around with you all day.
16:34So, Marley's past, Marley's sins,
16:37they represent that sense of purgatory
16:39where they're stuck in the middle, that day of judgement.
16:42He can't go to heaven or hell because of his actions and his sins,
16:46so he's within purgatory.
16:48It's a good trip.
16:55Arvin!
16:56Attention!
16:57E4!
16:58See you later!
16:59Can you all say bye-bye?
17:00See you later!
17:01Can you all say bye-bye to him?
17:02Na-na-na-na!
17:03Na-na-na-na!
17:04Na-na-na-na!
17:05Hey!
17:06Hey!
17:07Hey!
17:08Hey!
17:09Hey!
17:10Hey!
17:11Hey!
17:12Hey!
17:13Hey!
17:14Hey!
17:15Hey!
17:16Hey!
17:17Hey!
17:18Hey!
17:19Hey!
17:20Hey!
17:21Hey!
17:22Hey!
17:23Hey!
17:24Hey!
17:25Hey!
17:26Hey!
17:27Hey!
17:28Hey!
17:29Hey!
17:30Hey!
17:31Hey!
17:32Hey!
17:33Hey!
17:34Hey!
17:35Hey!
17:36Hey!
17:37Hey!
17:38Alexa is heading to Mr. Chippendale's science class.
17:45Is sir the common denominator of our unhappiness?
17:48No, I think he is.
17:52Beatrice.
17:53Yes.
17:54In year 10, students have to start working towards their GCSEs in earnest.
18:00Everyone have a test paper in front of you.
18:02Right, sit down please, quietly.
18:03And today, Alexa's coming face-to-face with her first practice paper.
18:10OK, listen very carefully.
18:12This is your first test in year 10.
18:16It's going to be tough, and that is what it is.
18:18Science is tough.
18:20It's not a negative thing if you're finding something really difficult.
18:23I think the hardest thing for year 10
18:25is the change in expectations that teachers have.
18:28And what I am expecting is for you to answer every single question on the paper.
18:34Lots of students really struggle with it.
18:36I think I've seen more and more students being really anxious,
18:39especially around assessments.
18:42Obviously, exam conditions.
18:44Obviously, working in silence.
18:46Off you go.
18:46Alexa hates the word test or assessment
18:58or any other form of getting something right or wrong.
19:03I'd feel sick.
19:05When I get anxious, my dyslexia starts kicking in more
19:08and then I'm like, I can't read the words properly.
19:11I always feel like, well, maybe I'm not good enough.
19:17When the rest of my class are doing harder stuff
19:20or moving on quicker,
19:21I just get really anxious that I could drop sets.
19:23She just puts too much pressure on herself
19:27and expects perfect.
19:30Your brain hurts.
19:30That means you've tried.
19:34My hands are shaking so much now.
19:36Take a second.
19:37Are you sure you're all right?
19:38I'll be fine.
19:39You'll be fine or are you fine?
19:41No, I'll be fine.
19:41I'm never fine, but I'll be fine.
19:43I'm very ambitious.
19:47I want to be an English teacher.
19:50I want to do the best that I can do.
19:54And if I don't, I think I'll be really disappointed in myself.
19:58I don't recognise a time where as many children are presenting
20:05with mental health problems as now.
20:08And at the forefront of that queue is a student who are presented as anxious.
20:12Tuesday morning, a bit emotional, a bit of a mess.
20:14Children deserve to be listened to.
20:16They deserve to have their voice heard.
20:18You are building your resilience and you are getting there.
20:20And for some children, the place where they get their voice heard is school.
20:24Of course you can overindulge, but the way I see it,
20:28every interaction is an intervention.
20:30I'm not a therapist.
20:32Yeah, I don't.
20:33Everything that we do, every word that we say,
20:36is a potential opportunity to steer their life
20:39in an ever so slightly different direction.
20:41All right, lad.
20:42Yeah.
20:43And we need to take that responsibility extremely seriously.
20:47How are we feeling?
20:49Crap.
20:50Why?
20:51Me and my mum just had a massive argument in the car.
20:53Yeah.
20:54It's because I'm getting back in contact with my dad.
20:56OK.
20:57When was the last time you spoke to him?
20:59Four years ago.
21:00Oh, so it's been a while, hasn't it?
21:01Yeah.
21:03I used to have a relationship with him,
21:05but everything just went...
21:07I can't say the word.
21:09Everything just went wrong.
21:10Do you know what she's probably thinking?
21:11I don't want Scott to get hurt again.
21:13And I know you say it's hard at times
21:15and you shout and you bicker and you fall out.
21:17That's natural.
21:18You're a teenager.
21:19You're harder work than you probably think you are.
21:21I stopped seeing my dad when I was ten.
21:25I try not to think about it at all.
21:28I would like to see him,
21:30but obviously I don't want to get hurt again.
21:34Yeah.
21:37Damn!
21:38The fallout between Alexa and Poppy is still ongoing.
21:43At lunch, they're now sitting at the opposite ends of the table.
21:47I'm trying to avoid the eye contact with you.
21:49I've said I'd be civil with Ruby,
21:51but Alexa, there's no way Ruby would be civil with me, so...
21:54I'm not going to stop my friendship with Ruby
21:56just because someone else has said something.
21:59You looked like you were going to tell us something.
22:02What happened?
22:03I sprayed Poppy and water.
22:05Aw, well done.
22:07Alexa!
22:11It's not a nice thing to fall out with someone
22:13who's supposed to be your friend.
22:16Someone who you, like, talk to every day
22:18and then you lose in them, it's...
22:20can be difficult.
22:21Life is good.
22:29Come on, you two.
22:30With the girls struggling to solve their issues on their own,
22:34Year 10 student manager Mr Young has decided to step in
22:38and try and avoid more disruption.
22:40Take a seat, you two.
22:43Why are you sat in just a dark room on your own?
22:45In the hope that people think I'm not in.
22:49Fair enough.
22:50Right, you two, let's bang your heads together.
22:54No, thanks.
22:55Right.
22:57You're in the same lessons,
22:58the same friendship groups.
23:00So, who wants to go first?
23:03I think the thing that really annoyed me yesterday was
23:07whilst I was on the steps going up to maths,
23:09you shouted at me because you wouldn't let me speak at all.
23:13But I had said to you so many times,
23:15go on, say it, and you said,
23:16I'm not sorting it out today, I'm not sorting it out today.
23:18That was at lunch, at break,
23:19I was fine to talk to you, but you get going,
23:21no, let me talk.
23:23Conflict resolution is a challenge.
23:27It's just about listening to them
23:28and give them that time to explain how they're feeling,
23:31let it get off their chest and then take it from there.
23:33Why haven't you said,
23:35we can talk about it with Ruby then?
23:36I don't want to talk to Ruby.
23:38But then you're not prepared to fix the friendship then, are you?
23:41I don't want to fix the friendship with Ruby.
23:43If you don't want to be friends with her, that's fine,
23:45but you're just getting annoyed.
23:47And I don't get why...
23:48I thought I'd better go out or else I will.
23:52Can I just say something, girls?
23:54Yeah.
23:54Because you're two mature, sensible girls.
23:58If you feel as though you've been heard,
24:01now look at how you're going to move it forward.
24:05Is that what you want to do, Alexa?
24:07I'm not sure.
24:08I think if we'd have talked about it yesterday,
24:11it would have been fine,
24:12but I think it's become such a massive thing.
24:15Poppy, would you agree it's been a bit of a drama?
24:18Yeah.
24:19So she's not disagreeing with you there?
24:21And there's been, like, dramas with other people,
24:23like, Saturday night,
24:24I were literally, me and my grandma were trying to watch the holiday
24:27and I had, like, five people texting me.
24:29And there lies the problem.
24:31With social media, it's massive.
24:33Turn it off.
24:35Watch the film with your grandma.
24:36What's not helping is everyone else throwing their two beds in, is it?
24:39That's always the worst part of it.
24:42I feel like Alexa's torn between...
24:45..being friends with Poppy and being friends with Ruby.
24:47Yeah.
24:48And I don't think she knows how to be friends with both of you
24:50without upsetting with all the other.
24:52I still want to be friends with you.
24:57I don't want to be friends with you,
24:58but I'm not pushing Ruby out for you.
25:01Yeah.
25:02Because she's been there for me when I need her.
25:04I think we just need to move on.
25:05We can still be friends.
25:07I'm going for the detentions.
25:08I think it's worth just having a little bit of time of chill out
25:11before we can get back to one another.
25:14Yeah.
25:15Please don't be a poppy.
25:16I don't know why I'm crying.
25:19I've been a while, Doug.
25:20Well, go on, girls.
25:21Right.
25:22What I'm just conscious of is there's been a few different names mentioned.
25:26Just say, oh, I'm being a poppy, so I don't know.
25:28I'm just...
25:29He keeps coming up to me and going, oh, you're going to scrap her.
25:32It's because I'm his ex and his girlfriend can't get over that.
25:35It's just so annoying.
25:37Are we all good?
25:38There tends to be a difference in the way that we will see
25:40arguments, conflicts, you know, normal teenage fallouts
25:42play out between boys and girls.
25:44Would you like one of these?
25:46Yes.
25:46Oh, my God.
25:47They're going through the same challenges,
25:48but the context behind them is very different
25:49because of the types of emotions they're going through.
25:53Right, that's squished, then.
25:54All right, sir, found Scott, been an issue in Irene,
26:03and he's ended up punching the walls.
26:05Right.
26:06Finding your place as a young man is really, really hard.
26:09They can suffer from a shortage of role models,
26:11and there's lots of negative influences out there.
26:13Well, let's have a look.
26:15They are trying to navigate a route through adolescence
26:18that's quite a choppy one to do.
26:24Rugby is like my release of energy and anger and all the emotions.
26:36Any problems that I've got, I step onto the field
26:39and just everything just goes away while I'm playing.
26:42It's Friday evening,
26:44and Scott's at his professional club, the Bradford Bulls.
26:49He trains with them twice a week after school.
26:52If you get good grades, doing everything right,
26:55then they'll think you're a class player.
26:58But you've got to behave, otherwise you get kicked out.
27:03To be a professional rugby player, I think it'd be everything to me.
27:06To lose it, it'd just be like losing a piece of me.
27:11Back in school, Scott knows the stakes are high.
27:14I need one pile of books, one pile of pensions.
27:19But the temptation to have fun with his mates
27:22is still proving hard for him to resist.
27:26Keon, I need your help.
27:27What?
27:28Medin's going to get me.
27:29No, no, I'm not backing it. Am I yet?
27:30Keon, please.
27:32Scott, you ain't even there.
27:33Hi, Medin.
27:35Come on, Scott.
27:35You all right, Medin?
27:36I'll let you go first.
27:38What's going on?
27:39What's going on?
27:40Now we're friends.
27:41Oh, yeah?
27:41Yeah, yeah.
27:42We don't like you being friends to me.
27:43No, we are friends to me.
27:44We're playing the same rubber team.
27:45Yeah?
27:45Yeah.
27:45You two playing the same rubber team?
27:46Yeah.
27:47So, are you...
27:48In our positions?
27:48Yeah, obviously.
27:49He's saying you're big.
27:51I'm saying you're small.
27:51Oh, no, he's saying you're big.
27:53I am big.
27:54I know you are.
27:54Tell what, is it your rubber?
27:55I don't even know rubber.
27:59What I'm not seeing much of is what we call analysis.
28:03I want to focus on that word charge.
28:06Do we charge very often?
28:09Does it come at any risk to you?
28:12Of course it does.
28:15Potentially, you could get hurt.
28:17You know, assault me.
28:19Quite often, the things that this group of friends are doing are not nasty, they're not malicious.
28:24No, you can't meet some of it.
28:26But the frustration comes in when you think, right, this could potentially have a real impact on your future.
28:32So...
28:34Scott's now running late for his next lesson.
28:39OK, in here, please.
28:40You go down here.
28:41Once again.
28:44In here, please.
28:44So, do you want to tell us to eat, Jim?
28:46No, you need to go to your lesson.
28:48Sit down, please.
28:49Having caught Mr Burton's attention again, Scott's now facing yet another visit to internal exclusion.
28:57So, right, why, given what we've just talked about, going back into your quote and using the words, and explaining how powerful they are, why does that prove...?
29:08Probably because I feel this is responsibility.
29:09Brilliant.
29:10That's the word I was looking for.
29:11Responsibility.
29:11Right, we're going to stop now.
29:14Close your book nice and neatly, please.
29:16Mr Young, are you there, please?
29:18Needs to spend at least lunchtime in our youth, please.
29:20But we've got a choice on Scott, haven't we?
29:23But the rules are the rules.
29:24We make that so clear to you.
29:27We're constantly doing this thing where we're just looking into the middle distance as if what I'm saying doesn't really matter.
29:33We either start to engage with staff, or we have to pick up that phone call.
29:37I really don't want to be doing that.
29:41You need to hear some tough messages, Scott.
29:48There is a link between being at school and the discipline you show there and the discipline you show in a rugby field.
29:53Those things need to coexist together.
29:56If you feel like being unfairly treated, you're going to have to tell me who you was with.
30:00I don't know.
30:02We do.
30:05I think if Scott doesn't own his own behaviour, then there is a risk that he ain't going to be on that pitch for much longer.
30:11Let's put it that way.
30:21It's Friday morning.
30:23Right, Mariette, what are we late for?
30:25My dad.
30:26Your dad slept it.
30:27Right, that's really not your fault, is it?
30:29Mrs Elscudde, who's on late today?
30:32Mr Elscudde, I believe it.
30:33Mr Levy.
30:34What?
30:34What is?
30:36Val.
30:37Yeah, I heard my name.
30:38What have I missed?
30:39Late.
30:40Just on my way down.
30:43We'll mark you late.
30:48I wrote my name and I wrote the date.
30:50That was fine.
30:51At first, I got about three marks.
30:53In the canteen, the Year 10 girls have one thing on their minds.
30:58How they've done in their practice science GCSE test.
31:01That sheet, we're absolutely useless.
31:03I know.
31:04I wanted to bang my head against the table most of the time in that test.
31:09I want you to get things wrong.
31:13Because what am I doing here if you never get anything wrong?
31:15What am I getting paid for?
31:16Although he's still marking the tests,
31:19Mr Chippendale's revealed he's planning on moving some of the Year 10s down a set.
31:23Wait, is there a set thing just from the test that we did?
31:28No, it's a bit more than just that.
31:30Oh, I'm moving down.
31:31What's it on?
31:32I don't know.
31:33I asked him if it was on just the test and he's not really giving me an answer.
31:37I didn't say you were moving down.
31:38But I'm going to be moving down.
31:39I didn't say you were moving down, Alexa.
31:41My hands are shaking off.
31:43Like...
31:44I don't need people to worry about it.
31:46Well, now it's made me worry about it.
31:48I don't want you to run your weekend.
31:49Yeah, well, you already have to by telling me that.
31:51Wow, sir.
31:52I can't sleep tonight now.
31:53Bro, you can't move us down, babe.
31:55Bro, I can't move you down.
31:56Is that what you said?
31:57Bro's a bad word.
31:57Bro's a bad word.
31:59What about brev?
31:59Can I say brev?
32:00No.
32:01So can I call you the man-dem?
32:05Try it.
32:06I want to hear what it sounds like.
32:07Say it.
32:08The man-dem, sir.
32:09No, forget about it.
32:10That were bad.
32:15Scott, meanwhile, has been trying to turn over a new leaf
32:18under Mr Burton's watchful eye.
32:20Can I pick it, please?
32:22Is your mum an OnlyFans?
32:24How do I subscribe?
32:27It's a bit expensive.
32:29I'm not offended.
32:30No, is it 50p, man?
32:31That's all she needs.
32:33Today's lesson is about the ghost of Christmas yet to come.
32:36In class, Scott's behaviour has been showing some signs of improvement.
32:41I don't know if there's a word for it, but when he walks in silently, Scrooge is trapped in
32:47his own thoughts.
32:48Lovely.
32:49Scott, you're smashing it.
32:49I know.
32:50Cheers, miss.
32:50Appreciate that.
32:51It's all right.
32:52Head up, please.
32:52Stay focused.
32:53But it's not all been smooth sailing.
32:59I meant spinners.
33:00Spinners?
33:02The combination of Scott and his mates often equals trouble.
33:09I don't mean to do some of the things I do or say, but in that moment it just comes out
33:15and that's how teachers see it, like they see that as my everyday self.
33:20All right, Scott.
33:24An invitation to try out for the Welsh under-16 squad as up the rugby pressures outside school.
33:31Hey, sir.
33:32I've got him, sir.
33:33I've just come across him.
33:34He's in my office.
33:35Which is having a big impact on Scott's mood in school.
33:39You've got to get into the mentality of rugby constantly when you do it this much.
33:44It's just like your emotions are all over the place, like you're getting angry, you're
33:48getting in the zone.
33:49And if summer don't go well, it's, I take it quite hard.
33:53I might not be in the best of moods next Monday.
33:55What's next Monday?
33:57I've got to travel down to Wales on the Saturday.
33:59Yeah.
34:00And then I've got to do a trial for Wales on the Sunday.
34:06So I never got to travel back from Wales.
34:08That's good, isn't it?
34:11Our responsibility is not necessarily to make sure that he's playing international rugby.
34:15Our responsibility is to make sure that he leaves at the end of year 11.
34:18With fantastic GCSE results.
34:21Cheers, Scott.
34:23So we've just got to make sure that we keep him on the right track.
34:26What do we call that if there is a disruption to the order of your DNA, your DNA goes wrong?
34:43Genetic mutation.
34:44A mutation.
34:45That's a really serious problem.
34:48Scott and the other year 10s are in another science class.
34:52What does that mutation in your DNA potentially cause?
34:54Cancer.
34:55It potentially causes cancer.
34:57But Alexa's not in her usual seat.
35:00Well, when you get a sunburn, they are all your skin cells that have been ionised by the radiation from the sun and they are destroying themselves.
35:09What have they done?
35:11Then you get cancer.
35:14Just takes one.
35:15You're not all right?
35:19No, I'm not.
35:20They're doing my cancer in there and I don't want anything to be.
35:23Come on with me.
35:26Sit yourself down.
35:28My grandma has it until it's been red.
35:32Then she has stage four cancer.
35:34And that's really hard, isn't it?
35:36And do you know what?
35:39It's all right to be upset.
35:42But what I don't want is you stood on the corridor crying, all right?
35:46I'd rather we get you somewhere where you feel safe.
35:50Mrs Crowther is taking Alexa to see student support manager, Mrs Whittaker.
35:55If you're feeling vulnerable at any stage through the day, you know where I am.
35:59All right, come and see me.
36:03There's a lot going on there.
36:10Prosper exists because we're dealing with young people who are not emotionally mature adults
36:15who are not, at this point, by design, ready for the big wide world.
36:20My head constantly feels loud, like they're screaming at each other,
36:23like different sides of my head.
36:25Yeah.
36:26It's just like sensory overload.
36:28The challenge that Alexa's got is not letting things get on top of each other all at the same time
36:32and build up to a point where they're quite crippling.
36:46It's Monday morning.
36:49And Scott will find out today if his trial for the Welsh under-16 rugby team has been successful.
36:55MUSIC PLAYS
37:10Have you got my house, Kyle?
37:12I find out today.
37:16Oh!
37:17I keep thinking, is it...
37:18Yeah.
37:20I find out in the next half an hour.
37:22Staff have given him special permission to have his phone in school
37:27so he can see the message as soon as it comes through.
37:35This?
37:39Now, what today will be is you'll be doing your final make.
37:43That's the priority.
37:44Scott, you are going to need a laptop today,
37:46so I'll grab you one of them in a minute.
37:48I'll grab you one of them in a minute.
37:49Any questions?
37:53I ain't got my number.
37:54I don't know who it is.
37:56I'm actually a mum.
37:59Rather have emailed me.
38:00I don't know who it is.
38:17On then?
38:17MR SING
38:23Hello. I'm in.
38:38Oh, that is fantastic news.
38:40How are you feeling? Overwhelmed.
38:42Well, look, take a minute.
38:45You'll tell me you're out of breath and running for one corridor
38:48because you're playing international rugby soon, so you need to be fitter than that.
38:51Have a little read.
38:53I've seen you do straight away from the subject line.
38:55Yeah.
38:59I'm really, really proud of you, Scott.
39:01Absolutely buzzing.
39:02Do you want me out?
39:04I emailed her as well.
39:05She just tried ringing me while I was in class, then.
39:07Get on phone.
39:08PHONE RINGS
39:10Hiya. I'm in.
39:12Oh, no!
39:13I'm literally crying in my head.
39:17Oh, I'm so proud of you, Scott. Well done.
39:23Oh, I've just done my make-up.
39:25All right, Scott. I love you and I'm proud of you. Well done.
39:29Well of you, too. See you later.
39:30See you soon. Bye.
39:31Bye, bye, bye, bye.
39:32It's just unreal.
39:33It's just like a rush of energy and, like, joy.
39:36Let's see this at the start, eh?
39:37Yeah.
39:38Good, lad.
39:39Cheers, sir.
39:40Go on.
39:41Take a shake.
39:42Sorry.
39:43I'm a Welshman.
39:44I've got it in.
39:45It's just made me feel, like, really good about myself because, obviously, I'm playing for
39:59a country and I'm going to be playing England, Ireland and Scotland.
40:04It's period three and Alexa's facing her own moment of truth.
40:12Have you got the test back?
40:13I don't know.
40:14Assessment QLA.
40:15What does that even mean?
40:17Oh, of course.
40:18Failed it.
40:19Mr. Chippendale is due to announce the results of their science test.
40:25Right, so let's throw this line out.
40:27Alexa, just wait there for me one second.
40:29They'll play a part in the decision on set moves.
40:33Here we go, please.
40:37Right, listen up.
40:38We are going to go through some of the assessments today.
40:40We're going to get your results back and things like that.
40:43Since my grandma got diagnosed, it's like all the control, it feels like it's been taken
40:48out of your hands and when, like, you have lack of control, you just want to control the
40:53only things you can and I think how I do in school is one of those things.
40:59Alexa.
41:00I'm in trouble.
41:01No, you're in trouble.
41:02Oh, God.
41:03So, this assessment, I just wanted to have a word before I gave it to you back.
41:09Yeah.
41:10Because I don't want you to get the big red number on the front and think...
41:13And have a freak out.
41:14Have a freak out and think, well, I hate science.
41:16OK.
41:17I've got something like two.
41:18You've got slightly more than two, don't worry.
41:20Slightly more than two.
41:21But we're two months into year 10.
41:22OK.
41:23And this is a year 11 GCSE paper that you'll be sitting in two years' time.
41:26OK.
41:27I'm happy with this.
41:28You make me really scared always.
41:30Why?
41:31It's like this.
41:32Alexa's scored five out of 56.
41:35It's more than I thought I'd get to be honest, I thought I'd get to be honest.
41:39It's one of the lower marks in the class, but Alexa's trying to take it in her stride.
41:44I think I get a bit in over my head sometimes and I get too worried about it.
41:50But I'm trying to manage that.
41:52I don't want to have my anxiety at all, like it's awful, but I think if I didn't have it, I might not have the same drive that I do.
42:04Oops.
42:05So I don't think I'd be kind of the same person.
42:08Get out.
42:09Yay!
42:10Bye!
42:11What's the next one?
42:12Mr. Chippendale also has some news about the potential set move.
42:17Have a good weekend.
42:18Hey!
42:19Wait for me outside.
42:21Two seconds.
42:22Thank you very much.
42:23Right, you aren't going down.
42:25OK?
42:26OK.
42:27Your scores were low.
42:28I really do mean everything that I said about changing sets.
42:32However, I decided that you'd be better suited in this class.
42:35OK.
42:36OK?
42:38Have a nice weekend, Alexa.
42:39You too.
42:40I'm not moving down.
42:41Are you not?
42:42No.
42:43He told me because he was like, I know you're going to have a figure.
42:47After class, Scott's mum is waiting for him in the school corridor.
42:52Well done.
42:55Cheers.
42:56My mum's always had my back.
42:58Any time I've needed anything, my mum's always been there.
43:01Like, if I needed to speak, my mum's been there.
43:04When I stopped seeing my dad, she was always the shoulder I cried on.
43:08Today's been well good.
43:10Everyone's been coming up saying, have you been in?
43:12Every teacher that I've gone to, they've been so proud.
43:15You know, when I came in earlier, Miss Nurse gave me a massive cuddle.
43:18She's...
43:19Me and my mum are close.
43:21I did go through a period of time where I didn't really speak to her
43:24about my problems.
43:26But I think she understood, because she was a teenager when she had me.
43:29She was only my age.
43:31She was 14, and she was in Year 10, like, studying for GCSEs.
43:37You've actually been a dad at your age.
43:39I can't look after myself.
43:47You've got a free biscuit!
43:49For those students in Year 10, it's almost waving goodbye to that phase in your life
43:54of being a child and going into young adulthood.
43:57And that comes with a great deal of responsibility.
43:59And that's difficult.
44:01A huge part of what we have to do are just let them know that we're not going anywhere.
44:07And we'll look after you.
44:10Just trust us, because we've seen it before.
44:12But also, it's really important to celebrate success.
44:16Whatever success looks like.
44:18Hello?
44:19Hello, is that Scots Rugby Coach?
44:20It's Mr Burton.
44:21Hiya there, you all right?
44:24Yeah, how are you?
44:25What might come across as quite an insignificant achievement to some people, for others, is absolutely huge.
44:30I'll pass the positive feedback on to our coaches.
44:33Whether it's overcoming a particularly anxious episode.
44:36See, I am closer sometimes.
44:38Whether it might be academic achievements, improving attendance, improving behaviour, whatever it might be.
44:43So, let's open the book and get today's dating, title and...
44:46If it means something to that student, we need to celebrate it and show that we are proud of them.
44:51Because that really, really matters.
44:53Morning Year 10.
44:54Me and the Student Parliament are here to introduce the start of the election campaign for head students.
45:01And Alexa's decided to tackle her anxieties head-on by entering the race to be head girl.
45:09I'm definitely challenging myself going for head girl.
45:12If I were to win, I'd be elated, I'd be so happy.
45:17But she's up against some tough competition.
45:27Yeah, I think I'm quite competitive.
45:30I do think that we all want it.
45:32What, you like your main ideas?
45:33Yeah.
45:34What's everyone's ideas?
45:36I'll pass it on to the next person for now, let me think.
45:39Darcy won't tell anybody what she's doing.
45:41My mum has specifically told me I cannot say anything to them about my campaign on my poster.
45:48Why?
45:49My mum gets really competitive too.
45:52What are you thinking if you don't win?
45:54I'm going to scrap you all.
45:55Yeah.
45:56My mum!
45:57My mum!
45:59Where's your vote going?
46:02I can't say where my vote's going, you can't ask me that.
46:05I'm not going to say that, bloody hell, fire.
46:07Next time.
46:08Hello, welcome to chess club.
46:09People think it's for nerds, but actually it's so cool.
46:10A year nine who's struggling to fit in.
46:11I guess you could just say a grown people.
46:12I mean, not like a virus or a fungus, but you know what I mean.
46:13I'm going to try to get you into your chest and roll your shoulders.
46:17And one young year eight who's trying to change his ways.
46:18I know that one.
46:19It's Chad.
46:20Do Chad.
46:21It is, sir, trust me, it is.
46:22He's a very, very lovely boy.
46:23But he's been getting into trouble quite a lot.
46:24Out of 960 students, Jay, could be the third worst at the minute.
46:25I'm going to try to get you into your chest and roll your shoulders.

46:35I know that one.
46:36It's Chad.

46:40He's a very, very lovely boy, but he's been getting into trouble quite a lot.

46:52See that same time next Sunday.
46:57And there is support information for the issues raised at channel4.com slash support.
47:03And a new one from the Bake Off tent on Tuesday night at 8.
47:07It's bread week, but who will be toast?
47:09And next tonight, they're not just cutting one person.
47:13The inheritance strikes.
