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.
03:15Can't be bold words.
03:16Can't be bold words.
03:17Oh!
03:22It says stop!
03:27It's period one.
03:29Science.
03:32Uhhhhh!
03:33Ah!
03:35Go outside.
03:37Take your goggles off and go outside.
03:41Gets a bit crazy in the lab. Keep that on your eyes.
03:4314-year-old Scott had a difficult Year 9 at Thornhill,
03:47but is full of good intentions for Year 10.
03:50In Year 9, I was getting a lot of detentions, like, nearly every day.
03:54Scott, make a start now, please. Thank you.
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. Excellent.
04:12That is literally it.
04:13Scott is really strong at science, and he really enjoys it.
04:16I 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,
04:29but you work with me cos 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, go outside.
04:41What?
04:42Go outside.
04:43You've just taken me car.
04:44Go outside.
04:45All my ears.
04:46There's no way...
04:47Thanks.
04:48What's the first thing you're going to do?
04:50Take the equipment.
04:52Wrong.
04:53First thing you're going to do?
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, sorry.
05:17I shouldn't have said that at all.
05:18I'm really sorry.
05:19We need to remember that I am a teacher and your student.
05:21Yeah, I know.
05:22I know.
05:23So I had to do this a few times, hadn't I?
05:24Yeah.
05:25Just re-establishing boundaries.
05:26Yeah.
05:27All right?
05:28Mm-hm.
05:29Sound.
05:30Come 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 got boys, mate.
05:47We love winding each other up.
05:48It'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,
05:55it's just do whatever we can to 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 flinched 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,
06:50and he's now roaming the corridors,
06:52having lost his temper.
06:54F**k off and leave me alone.
06:57F**king watch where you're going, you daft f**k!
07:04Mr Young, I'm just going to log abusive language from Scott H.
07:07Can you pick him up, please?
07:08Step out and about, Scott is walking around extremely angry and upset.
07:20When I get angry, I don't really think.
07:23Whatever comes into my brain that I need to do, I just do.
07:27I'll go and read the right act.
07:29Scott, is 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.
07:38I'm going to level with you, Scott.
07:40Your 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.
07:46No, no, no.
07:47Sorry, sir.
07:48Right, Scott, what's going on, lads?
07:52I 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 and Alfie and Keone
08:03and all the rest of it, it's a lively mix of social time.
08:07It's toxic, and it is dragging you down the wrong path.
08:12Because if you cannot conduct yourself in the right way,
08:14if you can't be a leader in your year group, Scott,
08:18it isn't going to work out.
08:19I tried getting away from them.
08:21No, no, no, no, no.
08:22You are swearing on a corridor, and then you're refusing to do
08:24what I'm telling you to do.
08:25It is not acceptable.
08:27You 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?
08:36No.
08:37I 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 sportsperson,
08:46right now it looks to me as if you are setting that piece of paper
08:49right on fire.
08:51And 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.
09:05I 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.
09:17Scott is a gifted rugby league player.
09:20Outside school, he's at a professional club's academy,
09:24the Bradford Bulls.
09:30He's got this exceptional, exceptional talent that
09:33can be his career.
09:37The club are in regular contact with the school
09:39to check on Scott's progress.
09:43If he's not behaving, he risks being released by them.
09:48If I'm proper, proper annoyed, it does get overwhelming.
09:52You just want to be left alone.
09:53Gentlemen, just leave sensibly.
10:03He said to me he was vaping, but he threw it in the bin.
10:06Why would you have a lighter?
10:07Yeah.
10:08He said for candles.
10:09What?
10:10Candles.
10:11That was my reaction.
10:12I said, why have you got scented candle in your classroom or something?
10:14Bit of ginger spice for festive period.
10:15Just before I started high school, my mum, she bought us Mr. Burton's book for going into high school.
10:29And then she made me get them signed.
10:32And I asked my PE teacher, can you ask Mr. Burton if you can sign these books?
10:34But I want it anonymous, I don't want him to know it was me.
10:35And she's like, oh, yeah, absolutely.
10:36She went outside with the books.
10:37Then 10 minutes later, he ran in saying, so, Alexa, I hear you're my biggest fan.
10:41You want me to, you know, get all your books signed?
10:42And I was like, I want it to die.
10:43I want it to die.
10:44I want it to die.
10:45I want it to die.
10:46And I want it to die.
10:47I want it to die.
10:48I want it to die.
10:49I want it to die.
10:50I want it to die.
10:51I want it to die.
10:52Just before I started high school, my mum, she bought us Mr. Burton's book for going into
10:53high school.
10:54And then she made me get them signed.
10:56And I asked my PE teacher, can you ask Mr. Burton if you can sign these books?
10:58But I want it anonymous.
10:59I want it to be my biggest fan.
11:00You 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, but, like, he blows his own trumpet quite a lot.
11:14You're walking down the corridor, be nice, work hard, work hard, be nice.
11:18It's a good message, but still knowing he's always shoving it down his necks.
11:23Scott's classmate, Alexa, is one of Year 10's keenest students.
11:28Mr. Burton makes fun of me because he thinks I'm from an American sitcom because I volunteer
11:33at the church every Tuesday because I'm a young leader for girl guiding.
11:38And he makes fun of me for that and because I've never had a detention.
11:42We get rewards and, like, with our rewards we get badges sometimes.
11:46I had two more, but mine got stamped on.
11:49It's Friday.
11:53Alexa and bestmate Ruby are heading into lunch to meet up with their other friends.
11:57Oh, I'm being pushed!
11:59Yeah!
12:00She's pushing a bit!
12:01Girls, come on! Play the game!
12:02I didn't do it!
12:03I think it's fair to say that at Year 10 there's a lot of hormones raging around
12:08and it's a perfect age for things to go spectacularly right and spectacularly wrong.
12:12What happened?
12:13Ruby pushed me.
12:14Aw, how evil!
12:16Lunch is an important time in the Year 10 social calendar,
12:20but friendships at this age can be pretty complicated.
12:24Friendship groups here, they're very set.
12:27We've sat at our table, I think, since the start of Year 9.
12:33Every single day, that's where you go to, on, like, break or lunch to meet with your friends.
12:38I sit with Daisy and Ellie and Zainab, but I'm close with, like, Daisy and Ellie.
12:44I'm friends with Heidi and Abby.
12:47Me, Faye, Anakin, Summer, and Alexa.
12:51Darcy 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, well, she said this and she said that, and, like, friendship's breaking up.
13:06Oh!
13:07We're improving on it!
13:09It can be a little bit overwhelming sometimes.
13:11It's really crazy.
13:13Shirts in, ties on, coats off, let's go!
13:16I think friendships for teenagers are hard,
13:18because, as a teenager, you're trying to identify yourself, almost,
13:21and 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.
13:48Papa came up to Alexa and said someone said that me and Alexa
13:52didn't want to be friends, but then Papa said that it was all my fault.
13:56OK, 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 who's gossiping
14:14and having drama all the time.
14:16Is there anybody who wasn't here yesterday?
14:18Is Poppy not in today?
14:20Well, she made a right scene at lunchtime.
14:24She stood up like that and went,
14:26I'm so betrayed by you,
14:28and started screaming at Ruby and I was like,
14:30this is ridiculous, so I just walked away.
14:32The fallout with Poppy has upset Alexa so much,
14:38she's going to see Year 10 student manager Mr Young with Ruby.
14:42I think she feels betrayed by us both.
14:46What Poppy does?
14:48Poppy's saying that she's honest about,
14:50like, I hate her and everything.
14:51Right.
14:52Do you hear Alexa?
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 won't and she's saying,
15:00oh, I'm leaving it till tomorrow.
15:01And I said, I don't want to leave it till tomorrow,
15:03because I'll just be stewing on it all night.
15:05And I've got bigger issues
15:06than just falling out with friends at school.
15:09100%.
15:10And I genuinely can't make myself stop
15:12thinking about everything that's happening.
15:14I mean, my mum fell out this morning,
15:16and for something like nothing,
15:17but it's so upset me
15:18because I don't want to fall out with her.
15:20My 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.
15:28Well, you're not stupid.
15:30At all.
15:31Your friends don't hate you.
15:33Missed you and her's 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.
15:46This 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 warm.
15:58So I'll try and get you both together at the end.
16:00OK.
16:01Officers know there's not much I can really do.
16:03No.
16:04All right.
16:05Cheers.
16:06Cheers.
16:09Mercy!
16:12Alexa's a model student.
16:13She's somebody who you would think just glides through the school day.
16:17But then under the surface, she'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.
16:29It's that dark cloud that you can carry around with you all day.
16:32So Marley's past, Marley's sins.
16:35They represent that sense of purgatory where they're stuck in the middle that day of judgment.
16:41He can't go to heaven or hell because of his actions and his sins.
16:45So he's within purgatory.
16:46Arvin.
16:47Retention.
16:48E4.
16:49See you later.
16:50Can you all say bye-bye?
16:51See you later.
16:52Can you all say bye-bye?
16:53Can you all say bye-bye to him?
16:54Na-na-na-na.
16:55Na-na-na-na-na.
16:56Hey, hey, hey.
16:57Don't swear.
16:58Goodbye.
16:59Anxiety.
17:00Keep on trying me.
17:01I feel it quiet.
17:02It's Friday morning.
17:03Boys.
17:04Boys.
17:05Nice and calm.
17:06Brake's over.
17:07Let go of in seafarison.
17:09My anxiety.
17:10Oh.
17:11Hiya, fellas.
17:12Come on, lads.
17:13Fellas.
17:14Fellas.
17:15Take you down a notch.
17:16Oh.
17:17Can you all say bye-bye to him?
17:18Can you all say bye-bye to him?
17:19Na-na-na-na.
17:20Na-na-na-na-na.
17:21Hey, hey, hey, hey.
17:22Don't swear.
17:23Goodbye.
17:24Anxiety.
17:25Keep on trying me.
17:26I feel it quiet.
17:27Boys, boys.
17:28Nice and calm.
17:29Hi.
17:30Settle down.
17:31No, you tell them all.
17:32You're just my assistant.
17:41Alexa is heading to Mr. Chippendale's science class.
17:45Is sir the common denominator of our unhappiness?
17:48No.
17:49I think he is.
17:50I think he is.
17:51Bitch.
17:52Yes.
17:53In year 10, students have to start working towards their GCSEs in earnings.
17:58Everyone have a test paper in front of you.
17:59Right.
18:00Sit down, please.
18:01Quietly.
18:02And today, Alexa's coming face to face with her first practice paper.
18:05Okay.
18:06Listen very carefully.
18:07This is your first test in year 10.
18:08It's going to be tough and that is what it is.
18:09Science is tough.
18:10It's not a negative thing if you're finding something really difficult.
18:11I think the hardest thing for year 10 is the change in expectations that teachers have.
18:12And what I am expecting is for you to answer every single question on the paper.
18:13Lots of students really struggle with it.
18:14I think I've seen more and more students being really anxious, especially around assessments
18:15Obviously, exam conditions.
18:16Obviously, exam conditions.
18:17Obviously, we're working in silence.
18:18We're working in silence.
18:19It's going to be tough.
18:20It's going to be tough and that is what it is.
18:21Science is tough.
18:22It's not a negative thing if you're finding something really difficult.
18:23I think the hardest thing for year 10 is the change in expectations that teachers
18:28have.
18:29And 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, especially around assessments.
18:43Obviously, exam conditions.
18:45Obviously, we're working in silence.
18:46Off you go.
18:54Alexa hates the word test or assessment or any other form of getting something right or
19:03wrong.
19:04I'd feel sick.
19:06When I get anxious, my dyslexia starts kicking in more and then I'm like, I can't read the
19:11test.
19:12I always feel like, well, maybe I'm not good enough.
19:17When the rest of my class are doing harder stuff or moving on quicker, I just get really
19:22anxious that I could drop sets.
19:24She just puts too much pressure on herself and expects perfect.
19:29Your brain hurts.
19:30That means you tried.
19:31My 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.
19:42I'm never fine, but I'll be fine.
19:44I'm very ambitious.
19:46I want to be an English teacher.
19:49I want to do the best that I can do.
19:54And if I don't, I think I'll be really disappointed in myself.
20:01I don't recognise a time where as many children are presenting with mental health problems
20:07as now.
20:08And at the forefront of that queue is students who are presented as anxious.
20:12Tuesday morning, a bit emotional, a bit of a mess.
20:15Children 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.
20:25Of course you can over-indulge, but the way I see it, every 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 is a potential opportunity to steer their
20:38life in 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?
20:49Ah.
20:50Why?
20:51Me and my mum just had a massive argument in 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?
21:02Yeah.
21:03I used to have a relationship with him, but everything just went...
21:07I can't say the word.
21:09Everything just went wrong.
21:10Do you know what she's probably thinking?
21:12I don't want Scott to get hurt again.
21:13And I know you say it's hard at times and 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, but obviously I don't want to get hurt again.
21:34Yeah.
21:38Damn!
21:39The 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 icons like you.
21:49I've said I'd be civil with Ruby, but Alexa, there's no way Ruby would be civil with me, so...
21:54I'm not going to stop my friendship with Ruby, just because someone else has said something.
21:59You looked like you were going to tell us something.
22:02What happened?
22:03I sprayed probably in water.
22:05Aw, well done.
22:06Alexa!
22:07It's not a nice thing to fall out with someone who's supposed to be your friend.
22:16Someone who you talk to every day and then you lose in them, it can be difficult.
22:22Life is good. Come on, you two.
22:31With the girls struggling to solve their issues on their own, Year 10 student manager Mr Young
22:36has decided to step in and try and avoid more disruption.
22:40Take a seat, you two.
22:43Why are you sat in just a dark room on your own?
22:46In 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.
22:56You're in the same lessons, the 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, you shouted at me.
23:10Because you wouldn't let me speak at all.
23:13But I had said to you so many times, go 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, I was fine to talk to you.
23:20But you get going, no, let me talk.
23:23Conflict resolution, challenge.
23:27It's just about listening to them and give them that time to explain how they're feeling,
23:31let it get off their chest and then take it from there.
23:34Why haven't you said, we can talk about it with Ruby then?
23:37I 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.
23:43But if you don't want to be friends with her, that's fine, but you're just getting annoyed.
23:46Like, and I don't get white.
23:49I thought I'd better go out or else I will.
23:52Can I just say something, girls?
23:54Yeah.
23:55Because you're two mature, sensible girls.
23:58If you feel as though you've been heard, now look at how you're going to move it forward.
24:04Is that what you want to do, Alexa?
24:07I'm not sure.
24:08I think if we'd have talked about it yesterday, it 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?
24:17Yeah.
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, I were literally, me and my grandma were trying to watch the holiday
24:27and had, like, five people texting me.
24:29And there lies the problem.
24:31With social media, it's massive.
24:33Turn it off.
24:34Watch the film with your grandma.
24:36And what's not helping is everyone else throwing their two beds in, is it?
24:39That's always the worst part of it.
24:41That's the issue.
24:42I feel like Alexa's torn between being friends with Poppy and being friends with Ruby.
24:47Yeah.
24:48And I don't think she knows how to be friends with Brooke without upsetting with all the other.
24:52I still want to be friends with you.
24:57I do not want to be friends with you, but 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.
25:06We 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 before we can get back to one another.
25:14Yeah.
25:15Do you agree with Poppy?
25:16Please don't be sorry.
25:17I don't know why.
25:18I'm crying.
25:19I feel awful.
25:20Well, going, girls.
25:21Right.
25:22Right.
25:23What I'm just conscious of is there's been a few different names mentioned.
25:26Just...
25:27Just say, oh, I'm here, Poppy, so I don't know, I'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.
25:35He hates it.
25:36It's just so annoying.
25:37Right.
25:38Are we all good?
25:39There's a big difference in the way that we will see arguments, conflicts, you know,
25:41normal teenage fallouts play out between boys and girls.
25:44Would you like one of these?
25:45Yes.
25:46Oh, my God.
25:47They're going through the same challenges, but the context behind them is very different
25:50because of the types of emotions they're going through.
25:53Right, that's squished, Ben.
26:00All right, so, found Scott.
26:02Been an issue in Irene and he's ended up punching a wall.
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.
26:13Oh, let's have a look.
26:15They are trying to navigate a route through adolescence
26:18that's quite a choppy one to do.
26:31Rugby is, like, my release of energy and anger
26:35and all the emotions.
26:36Any problems that I've got, I step onto the field and just, everything just goes away
26:41while I'm playing.
26:42It's Friday evening and Scott's at his professional club, the Bradford Bulls.
26:50He trains with them twice a week after school.
26:53If you get good grades, doing everything right, then they'll think you're a class player.
26:58But you've got to behave, otherwise you'll get kicked out.
27:04To be a professional rugby player, I think it'd be everything to me.
27:07To lose it, it'd just be like losing a piece of me.
27:12Back in school, Scott knows the stakes are high.
27:15I need one pile of books, one pile of patients.
27:19But the temptation to have fun with his mates is still proving hard for him to resist.
27:25Kiel, I need your help.
27:27What?
27:28Medin's going to get me.
27:29No, no, I'm not backing it, am I yet?
27:30Kiel, please.
27:32Scott, you ain't even there.
27:34Hi, Medin.
27:35Come on, Scott.
27:36You all right, Medin?
27:37I'll let you go first.
27:39What's going on?
27:40What's going on?
27:41Now we're friends.
27:42Oh, yeah?
27:43Yeah, yeah.
27:44We're playing the same rugby team.
27:45Yeah?
27:46Yeah.
27:47You two playing the same rugby team?
27:48Yeah.
27:49Obviously.
27:50He's saying you're big.
27:51I'm saying you're small.
27:52Oh, no.
27:53Yeah, but he's saying you're big.
27:54I am big.
27:55I know you are.
27:56I don't even know rugby.
27:59What I'm not seeing much of is what we call analysis.
28:04I want to focus on that word charge.
28:06Do we charge very often?
28:10Does it come at any risk to you?
28:12Of course it does.
28:14What happens?
28:16Potentially, you could get hurt.
28:17You're going to assault me.
28:19Quite often, the things that this group of friends are doing
28:22are not nasty, they're not malicious.
28:24No, you can't meet from it.
28:26Sorry, Ruth.
28:27But the frustration comes in when you think,
28:29right, this could potentially have a real impact on your future.
28:37Scott's now running late for his next lesson.
28:39OK.
28:40In here, please.
28:41You go down here.
28:42Once again.
28:43In here, please.
28:44Sir, do you want to tell the Steve to?
28:46No, you need to go to your lesson.
28:48All right.
28:49Sit down, please.
28:50Having caught Mr Burton's attention again,
28:53Scott's now facing yet another visit to internal exclusion.
28:58So, right, why, given what we've just talked about,
29:01going back into your quote and using the words
29:03and explaining how powerful they are,
29:05why does that prove...?
29:07Probably because I feel it's responsibility.
29:09Brilliant.
29:10That's the word I was looking for.
29:11Responsibility.
29:12Right, 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 ear, please.
29:20Right.
29:21We've got a choice on Scott, haven't we?
29:23But the rules are the rules.
29:24We make that so clear to you.
29:26We're constantly doing this thing
29:28where we're just looking into the middle distance
29:30as if what I'm saying doesn't really matter.
29:32We either start to engage with staff
29:34or we have to pick up that phone call.
29:36I really don't want to be doing that.
29:43You need to hear some tough messages, Scott.
29:45There is a link between being at school
29:50and the discipline you show there
29:51and the discipline you show in a rugby field.
29:53Those things need to co-exist together.
29:56If you feel like being unfairly treated,
29:58you're going to have to tell me who you was with.
30:00I don't know.
30:02We do.
30:06I think if Scott doesn't own his own behaviour,
30:08then there is a risk that he ain't going to be
30:10on that pitch for much longer, let's put it that way.
30:15It's Friday morning.
30:22Right, Mariette, what are we late for?
30:25My dad slept in.
30:26Your dad slept in.
30:27Right, that's really not your fault, is it?
30:28Mrs Elscudde, who's on late today?
30:31Mrs Elscudde, I believe it.
30:34What? What is?
30:36Val?
30:37Yeah, I heard my name. What have I missed?
30:39Lates.
30:40Just on my way down.
30:42We'll mark you late.
30:44I 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,
30:57how 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.
31:10I 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?
31:17Although he's still marking the tests.
31:19Mr Chippendale's revealed he's planning on moving some of the Year 10s down a set.
31:24Wait, is there a set thing just from the tests 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 now.
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.
31:52Wow, sir.
31:53I can't sleep tonight now.
31:54Bro, you can't move us down, babe.
31:55Bro, I can't move you down.
31:56Is that what you just said to me?
31:57Bro's a banned word.
31:58Bro's a banned word.
31:59What about brev?
32:00Can I say brev?
32:01No.
32:02Sir, can I call you the mandem?
32:06Try it.
32:07I want to hear what it sounds like.
32:08Say it.
32:09The mandem, sir.
32:10How do I answer this?
32:11No, forget about it.
32:12Oh.
32:15Scott, meanwhile, has been trying to turn over a new leaf
32:18under Mr. Burton's watchful eye.
32:21Can I pay it, please?
32:22Is your mum an OnlyFans?
32:24How do I subscribe?
32:28It's a bit expensive.
32:30No, is it 50p? That's all she needs.
32:33Today's lesson is about the ghost of Christmas yet to come.
32:37In class, Scott's behaviour has been showing some signs of improvement.
32:41Oh, miss.
32:42Go on.
32:43I don't know if there's a word for it, but, like, when he walks in silently,
32:46Scrooge is trapped in his own thoughts.
32:48Lovely.
32:49Scott, you're smashing it.
32:50I know, cheers, miss.
32:51Appreciate that.
32:52It's all right.
32:53Head up, please.
32:54Stay focused.
32:56But it's not all been smooth sailing.
32:59I meant spin or something.
33:01Spin, yes.
33:03The combination of Scott and his mates...
33:06..often equals trouble.
33:10I don't mean to do some of the things I do or say,
33:14but in that moment, it just comes out.
33:16And that's how teachers see it, like, they see that as my everyday self.
33:22Right, Scott.
33:24An invitation to try out for the Welsh under-16 squad
33:28as up the rugby pressures outside school.
33:31Hey, sir.
33:32I've got him, sir.
33:33I've just come across it and he's in my office.
33:36Which is having a big impact on Scott's mood in school.
33:39You've got to get into the mentality of rugby constantly
33:41when you do it this much.
33:44It's just, like, your emotions are all over the place, like,
33:47you're getting angry, you're getting in the zone.
33:50If something don't go well, it's...
33:52I 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.
34:00Yeah.
34:01And then I've got to do a trial for Wales on the Sunday.
34:06So...
34:07And then we've got to travel back from Wales, so...
34:09That's good, isn't it?
34:12Our responsibility is not necessarily to make sure
34:14that he's playing international rugby.
34:15Our responsibility is to make sure that he leaves
34:17at the end of Year 11 with fantastic GCSE results.
34:21Cheers, Scott.
34:24So we've just got to make sure that we keep him on the right track.
34:31Excuse me, let's line up sensibly, please.
34:35Do you want to take your scarf off, Skylar?
34:37Not really.
34:38Turn this way, please.
34:39What do we call that if there is a disruption
34:40to the order of your DNA, your DNA goes wrong?
34:44Genetic mutation.
34:45A mutation.
34:46That's a really serious problem.
34:48Scott and the other Year 10s are in another science class.
34:53What does that mutation in your DNA potentially cause?
34:55Cancer.
34:56It potentially causes cancer.
34:57But Alexa's not in her usual seat.
35:01Well, when you get a sunburn,
35:02they are all your skin cells that have been ionised
35:06by the radiation from the sun,
35:08and they are destroying themselves...
35:10What have they done?
35:11..then you get cancer.
35:14Just takes one.
35:18You're not all right?
35:19No, I'm not.
35:20They're doing quite a cancer in there and I don't want anything.
35:22Come on with me.
35:24OK.
35:27Sit yourself down.
35:35And that's really hard, isn't it?
35:37And 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.
35:51Mrs Crowther is taking Alexa to see Student Support Manager,
35:55Mrs Whittaker.
35:56If you're feeling vulnerable at any stage through the day,
35:58you know where I am.
36:00All right, come and see me.
36:02Thank you, Nick.
36:05There's a lot going on there.
36:07Prosper exists because we're dealing with young people who are not emotionally mature adults,
36:16who 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,
36:24like different sides of my head.
36:26Yeah.
36:28The challenge that Alexa's got is not letting things get on top of each other
36:31all at the same time and build up to a point where they're quite crippling.
36:47It's Monday morning.
36:50And Scott will find out today if his trial for the Welsh under-16 rugby team
36:55has been successful.
37:01The struggle for the Welsh under-16 rugby team,
37:03The organisation in the Welsh under-16 secure sexuality
37:10Have you got oil for glasses?
37:14I find out, today.
37:17Oh, I keep thinking, he's in...
37:20Yeah.
37:22I find out in the next half of the other.
37:25Staff have given him special permission to have his phone in school,
37:28so he can see the message as soon as it comes through now what today will be is
37:41you'll be doing your final make that's the priority Scott you are going to need
37:46a laptop today so I'll grab you one of them in a minute any questions I got my
37:53number I know it is my mom
37:59I'll do email me
38:17I mean
38:23Oh, I mean, oh, that is fantastic news. How you doing? Overwhelmed. Well, look, take a minute.
38:43You'll tell me you're out of breath and running for one corridor because you're playing international
38:48rugby suit, so you need to be fitter than that. Have a little read. I see you're new straight
38:54away from the subject line. Yeah. Well, I'm really, really proud of you, Scott. Absolutely
39:02buzzing. Do you know what you want me at? I emailed her as well. She just tried ringing
39:06me while I was in class then. Get on phone. Hiya. I'm in. Oh, no! I'm literally crying
39:17out. Oh, I'm so proud of you, Scott. Well done. Thank you. Oh, I've just done my make-up.
39:28All right, Scott, I love you and I'm proud of you. Well done. Well of you, too. See you
39:33later. See you soon. Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye. It's just unreal. It's just like a rush of energy
39:40and, like, joy. Let's see this at the start, eh? Yeah. Good lad. Cheers, sir. Scott. Take
39:46a second. Sorry. I'm a Welshman. I've got in. It's just made me feel, like, really good
39:57about myself. Because, obviously, I'm playing for a country and I'm going to be playing England,
40:01Ireland and Scotland. No. It's period three and Alexa's facing her own moment of truth. Have
40:12you got the test back? I don't know. Assessment QLA. What does that even mean? Oh. We're
40:19so good. We failed it. Mr. Chippendale is due to announce the results of their science test.
40:25Right, so let's hold this line out. Alexa, just wait there for me one second, please. Aw.
40:30They'll play a part in the decision on set moves. Here we go, please. Right, listen
40:37up. We are going to go through some of the assessments today. We're going to get your
40:41results back and things like that. Since my grandma got diagnosed, it's, like, all the
40:46control, it feels like it's been taken out of your hands. And when, like, you have lack
40:50of control, you just want to control the only things you can. And I think how I do in school
40:57is one of those things. Uh, Alexa. I'm in trouble. No, you're in trouble. Oh, God. So, this
41:05assessment, I just wanted to have a word before I gave it to you back. Yeah. Because I don't
41:10want you to get the big red number on the front and think... And have a freak out. Have
41:14a freak out and think, well, I hate science. OK. I've got something like two. You've got
41:18slightly more than two, don't worry. Slightly more than two. But we're two months into year
41:2110. OK. And this is a year 11 GCSE paper that you'll be sitting in two years' time. OK.
41:27I'm happy with this. You make me really scared always. Why? It's like this.
41:32Alexa's scored five out of 56. It's more than I thought I'd get to be honest, I thought
41:37I'd get to. It'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. But, you know,
41:50I'm trying to manage that. I don't want to have my anxiety at all. Like, it's awful. But
41:59I think if I didn't have it, I might not have the same drive that I do. Oops. So, I don't
42:05think I'd be kind of the same person. Get out. Bye! What's the next one?
42:11Mr Chippendale also has some news about the potential set move. Have a good weekend.
42:18Hey! Wait for me outside. Two seconds. Thank you very much. Right, you aren't going down.
42:25OK? OK. Your scores were low. I really do mean everything that I said about changing sets.
42:32However, I decided that you'd be better suited in this class. OK. OK?
42:36Thank you. Have a nice weekend, Alexa. You too. I'm not moving down. Are you not? No.
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.
42:56My mum's always had my back. Any time I've needed anything, my mum's always been there. Like, 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.
43:07Today's been well good. Everyone's been coming up saying, have you been in? Every teacher that I've gone to, they've been so proud.
43:14You know, when I came in earlier, Miss Nurse gave me a massive cuddle. She's...
43:19Me and my mum are close. I did go through a period of time where I didn't really speak to her about my problems.
43:26But I think she understood, because she was a teenager when she had me. She was only my age.
43:32She 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.
43:41You've got a free mister!
43:49For those students in Year 10, it's almost waving goodbye to that phase in your life of being a child and going into young adulthood.
43:57And that comes with a great deal of responsibility. And that's difficult.
44:02A 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. Just trust us, because we've seen it before.
44:12But also, it's really important to celebrate success.
44:15PHONE RINGS
44:17Whatever success looks like.
44:18Hello?
44:19Hello, is that Scots Rugby Coach? It's Mr Burton.
44:22Hiya 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 close sometimes.
44:38Whether it might be academic achievements, improving attendance, improving behaviour, whatever it might be.
44:42So 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, because that really, really matters.
44:53Morning Year 10. Me and the student parliament are here to introduce the start of the election campaign for head students.
45:00And Alexa's decided to tackle her anxieties head on by entering the race to be head girl.
45:08I'm definitely challenging myself going for head girl.
45:12If I were to win, I'd be elated. I'd be so happy.
45:16But she's up against some tough competition.
45:27Yeah, I think I'm quite competitive.
45:29I 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.
45:42My mum has specifically told me I cannot say anything to them about my campaign on my poster.
45:48Why?
45:50My mum gets really competitive too.
45:52What are you thinking? If you don't win, I'm going to scrap you all.
45:55Make it hand action.
45:56My 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. I mean, not like a virus or a fungus, but you know what I mean.
46:24I'm going to try to get your chin to your chest and roll your shoulders.
46:30And one young year eight who's trying to change his ways.
46:34I know that one. It's Chad. I do, Chad. It is, sir. Trust me, it is.
46:40He's a very, very lovely boy, but he's been getting into trouble quite a lot.
46:44Out of 960 students, Chad, could be the third worst at the minute.
46:48See that same time next Sunday, and there is support information for the issues raised at channel4.com slash support.
47:04And a new one from the Bake Off tent on Tuesday night at eight.
47:07It's bread week, but who will be toast?
47:10And next tonight, they're not just cutting one person.
47:13The inheritance strikes.
47:18The inheritance strikes.
47:23The inheritance strikes, like two monelenos.
47:29The inheritance originals, the inheritance strikes.
47:31And there are non-conclusion placed in a woven ersten arms.
47:33The Alaskanamed
47:35The Treaty of July 965
47:38The Dist hélico mü ll lie for asking a group of thousands of years.
47:42The sneaking noises should be approaching.
47:44The authorities have lived in the kennenlot on Tuesday whether it's a nurse at night.
