Short filmTranscript
00:00Aimee, I'm sorry. I'm just sat here, the same clothes as Yisti, just thinking, why bother?
00:11You know, I've not done any of the work I said I would. Not a thing. I don't care.
00:16I haven't for a while now, because this job isn't right. It's just too much. It's just awful being a teacher.
00:23And the days are numbered for the school. They just are. Then what do we do? What do we have left after the job is just bled to drive all our energy?
00:32I thought I could get by into the bare minimum, but just hold on tight and retire in 20 years.
00:37It's too much. That's no way to live. So I'm not coming in again. I can't. I'm not the right person to be a teacher. I quit.
00:53Morning. Morning.
01:06Oh, hey, Meg.
01:08Photocopy is knackered again.
01:10I'll sort it. Can you check Drew's computer for lesson plan? He doesn't put anything on the shared drive. That is his login.
01:18Is he off sick?
01:20He quit.
01:20Yeah. No. Seriously, today?
01:24Yeah, today.
01:26Well, what are we going to do? We haven't got enough people.
01:29Well, we always do. Get on with it.
01:34It's a power play. Quit in the morning of an Oster inspection.
01:38Well, I did say this would happen. I mean, he's been doing very little for a very long time.
01:42I can't get you extra cover.
01:44We're down three already, plus next to no support staff.
01:47Yeah, that's a sick list right now. You get one general supply teacher.
01:51Oh, will they have an English degree?
01:56I'm sure they'll be a voracious reader. You're going to have to talk to Ofsted for the department.
02:01You're the assistant head.
02:02You're the only one that can.
02:03Yeah, because it's an inexperienced department full of ECTs.
02:06Yeah, not my fault.
02:07Where is Abel Andy?
02:10Yeah, I think he's doing another PowerPoint, because that'll help.
02:14None of this is ideal. Just do what you can with Ofsted.
02:18I'm going to be honest with him about Drew, so you don't need to perform miracles.
02:22You know he's prepped nothing for inspection. Like, at all.
02:26Christ, well, I'm not going to be that honest.
02:28We just need to get through this.
02:31Great. The copier I have just fixed is broken again.
02:35Your effort's wonky, by the way.
02:42Found a mathematician in the office. Shall we keep him?
02:45No, he doesn't read enough. Just looks up puzzle books.
02:48Is that for me?
02:49It is, but I'm regretting it now.
02:51Ooh, thank you.
02:52Aw, that's very sweet.
02:54I know, I'm cute, darling.
02:56Basically, in the wedding vows, I said I'd bring her a cup of tea before work each morning.
02:59So, I'm going to leave you to here. Have a lovely day.
03:02Have you told him?
03:04Ooh, hang on, told me what? What's the goss? What's the sitch?
03:07Drew Westhead's quit.
03:09What, on after that day?
03:12Of course he has. Why wouldn't you?
03:15I mean, you have been saying you could go at any point, haven't you?
03:17No, I have, haven't I? Thank you.
03:18You're welcome.
03:20OK, right, I am actually going to have to go.
03:22All right, love you. Bye, have a nice day.
03:26What?
03:27I'm left on Drew's computer, and there's nothing useful on it.
03:29No cover, lesson plans, nothing.
03:32All right, we'll pull some plans together.
03:34What, no one's got any time?
03:36What about Lewis, the new trainee? You could get him to copy and paste some bits.
03:40I can't make them for something else.
03:42I've not been up for a lesson yet.
03:44Well, no, I'll be with you, sort of.
03:46Aren't you teaching another class at the same time?
03:51Uh, yeah, that's the sort of bit.
03:53Heya, Jan, what's up?
03:54Claire Parkinson's dad's here.
03:56He's, um, he's kicking off, and I need to just come down as soon as you can.
04:01Gosh.
04:01All right, slight change of plan.
04:05You are going to start both lessons.
04:07Both?
04:09Make my hat off, earrings out.
04:11Guys, remember it's assembling.
04:12My groupie making your way down, please.
04:14I want headphones away, phones away, and correct uniform on.
04:18We will be checking.
04:19Amy, sorry, miss, I am...
04:21No, no, no, take a minute, all right?
04:23Go back to the office.
04:24Look at the lesson plan, the resources, the standard requirements.
04:27I've got this, all right?
04:29Hoodie off!
04:34Hey, Jan.
04:34Sorry, love.
04:35Um, I want to get away from the Ofsted fella.
04:41Ah.
04:42Yeah, there's more than the Ofsted gets around, and he's the big boss.
04:46So, um, I've put Claire Parkinson's dad away and into the office, but please, yourself, not happy.
04:53I'm sorry.
04:54Thanks, Jan.
04:55Good luck.
04:56So, it's just you, yeah?
05:01Because I asked to see the head teacher and the head of English.
05:03No, I understand.
05:05Um, I'm sure the head is on his way.
05:07The head of English, however, isn't in.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Okay.
05:13Yeah, well, I don't think I'd come in either, if I was in.
05:15Oh, yeah, you smacking little idiot!
05:18You keep going on a bit!
05:19A bit!
05:20Is this what you want?
05:21Is this what you want?
05:22I'm trying to help you!
05:25I'm trying to help all you!
05:26I'm a fool!
05:26And then you just laugh at me face!
05:28What?
05:29What?
05:29You think I'm a joke?
05:30You're a joke!
05:31You're a joke!
05:32You're a joke!
05:33You're a joke!
05:33You're a joke!
05:34You're a joke!
05:34You're a joke!
05:34You're a joke!
05:39I'm a joke!
05:40I'm trying not into your face but real idiot who will never, ever, abort to aid me.
05:48Michael shouldn't have to come to school and have language like that.
05:51Hailed out by a teacher.
05:52No, I completely agree.
05:54It is unacceptable and I promise you there will be a full investigation.
05:58No, I don't want an investigation, love. I want him gone. Now.
06:02And I promise you he will not be teaching here again.
06:04Okay, the school are going to take this very seriously.
06:06I can't be taking it that seriously. Where's the headteacher?
06:09We've got a lot going on today. There is Osted coming in.
06:12Oh, so this isn't taking priority. Is that how it is, is it?
06:15No, of course it is.
06:16You know what? This place is a mess from top to bottom.
06:19Even the homework Claire gets as crap. It's easy.
06:23She says there's not even proper teachers in her class half the time.
06:26Don't teachers matter?
06:27Of course they do.
06:29I am investing in this place.
06:32I want you, I want yous to do well.
06:34I want my doors here to have the best.
06:36You have my word, Estelle.
06:41I want you to be bored in your room, are you?
06:43No, no, look, Claire is a fantastic student, but I need to be teaching right now.
06:49And that is how I can help give the students the best.
06:52So I'm really sorry, but I have to go.
06:55Are you just getting in?
06:58Sorry, Miss.
06:59Callum, come on, this isn't like you. You live around the corner.
07:02Hoodie off and pop your shoes on. Get to assembly.
07:04Miss, can I talk to you?
07:07Erm, not right now, no, but the class is later, yeah?
07:11You did great last week. We can have a chat. Please be wearing proper uniform.
07:16OK, Year 11. Unseen poetry.
07:29Got your questions to start?
07:31Where's Mr Westhead?
07:33I'll er, give you some more time on this and then we'll go through it.
07:38I'll just ask you a question, sir, don't be rude.
07:44Phone's away now, please.
07:46I've asked you to start.
07:48Look at the whiteboard and follow it. Unseen poetry.
07:51You've all done it before.
07:56Some of you have made a good start.
07:58I just need you to...
08:00I said, phone's away.
08:02Don't be filming things. Don't be filming me.
08:05I'm not here.
08:06What?
08:10Aw, you're done, sir.
08:21What's going on?
08:25That's what I just need for the minute.
08:27Oh, well you need to get back in there.
08:29I, erm...
08:30I'll let both classes in, but...
08:33I haven't checked on yours for a little while.
08:35My man said he was feeling ill, but I think he was having me on.
08:38I've usually got a routine and stuff, but it's...
08:40All right, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry.
08:41I was late, all right?
08:42But you can do this, okay?
08:43You can get it under control.
08:45Make them pay attention.
08:47All right?
08:48Right, Year 11, this is not an acceptable way to start class.
08:53Bags away, sitting in our chairs properly, ready to learn.
08:58Right, Mr. Westhead is off today, so Mr. Grantham will be talking you through class.
09:02I'll be popping in and out, and I expect to see hard work, okay?
09:06This is your GCSEs.
09:08Oh, the sound of enthusiasm.
09:12Over to you, Mr. Grantham.
09:15Okay, Year 11.
09:20Let's try again, then, shall we?
09:23Off the table, sit in your seats.
09:26You're Year 11, I expect better.
09:28Just because I'm late doesn't mean you can skive.
09:31Right, unseen poetry.
09:33Let's get cracking.
09:35And after that, can we not miss?
09:37Um, I don't know, Henry.
09:39Let's just assume that they are, and have a good lesson, shall we?
09:42Have I got your report card?
09:44Miss, eh, I feel sick.
09:46Alex, do you feel ill?
09:51I'll take your silence, I don't know.
09:53Who needs a pen?
09:55Oh, my goodness me, you are Year 11.
09:58Bring your own pens in.
10:00You want to tackle them, Miss?
10:02Yeah, they're good, because I buy them myself.
10:04Hand these out.
10:05And I want them all back by the end of class, do you hear?
10:08Ow!
10:09Henry?
10:11I didn't do anything.
10:12Henry, I just saw you.
10:14I didn't do anything, you can't prove it.
10:16No, I don't need to prove anything, I literally just...
10:18That's enough, Ian Oliver!
10:22Wait.
10:23Sir?
10:24Bones?
10:25Or when?
10:27What are you filming me?
10:29I'm Williams, I swear it, Miss, I was taxing.
10:31No, it's alright, Ben, it's alright.
10:32Look, guys, settle down.
10:33I know this morning has been a bit odd, okay?
10:36But you're a good group, and you should be working hard.
10:39If you're not focused on tasks by the next time I come in,
10:42there's going to be consequences, do you understand?
10:45Right.
10:46Share at them isn't the answer, alright?
10:47Just focus on the lesson plan.
10:48And stay calm.
10:49You can do this.
10:50Right.
10:51No more distractions.
10:52Let's get focused.
10:53You can do this.
10:54Right.
10:55No more distractions.
10:56Let's get focused.
11:10Okay.
11:11Then they all started retching and I was like, are they all just going to bomb hit?
11:21Then they all started retching, and I was like, are they all just going to bomb, hit?
11:30That's horrible, that.
11:32Oh, no, that's not a bug, is it?
11:33No, he had two splits before school.
11:36I'm sorry, what? He had two splits before school?
11:39He wanted to be relaxed for Ofsted.
11:41Spent the rest of the lesson cleaning, trying to talk about poems, and...
11:47How was your morning?
11:48Well, clearly not as bad as yours.
11:51And I got observed.
11:53First lesson?
11:54Yeah.
11:54Shit. How was it?
11:57Awful.
11:58And then, okay.
11:59I just think the kids, they were, like, really hyped up.
12:03But I just started second-guessing everything I was saying, like, as I was saying it.
12:08But I don't think we're going to be getting all special measures.
12:11Oh, let's not even think about it, because if they've done maths, and they're definitely doing English,
12:16and I'm doing all the Ofsted bollocks for the department now.
12:19What?
12:23I just think it's mad.
12:26They seem to put everything on you.
12:28Oh, because of all the Drew stuff?
12:29Oh, let's have it right.
12:30Even if Drew was still here, you'd still be doing all this stuff anyway.
12:33He's down to us and fucked off.
12:35It just takes the piss.
12:36I know.
12:37And you know I know, so...
12:39I'm just saying, look, this place, it annoys me, okay?
12:42It puts too much on me, and it definitely puts too much on you.
12:45What use is it, me kicking off, hmm?
12:48It is what it is.
12:49We just keep going.
12:52I'd be glad when the day is, dog.
12:54I mean, it really does look like the Nando spice jar.
12:59Except there's ten things to fail on now, rather than five.
13:03What utter bullshit.
13:05What the hell is that?
13:07Drew hasn't done any mark on any end since the start of the year.
13:10If Ofsted see this, we're fucked.
13:12Yeah.
13:13That's going to be the judgment.
13:14Fucked.
13:15Jesus Christ.
13:18Okay.
13:18Okay.
13:19Look, we just have to get through with it, all right?
13:21From the cat's lick.
13:23Mix them in with our books that have been marked.
13:26We just get it done.
13:42Your ma took the low offer on the chase.
14:06Not appropriate.
14:12This is crap, miss.
14:15You always say this, Elle, and it's never true.
14:19Okay.
14:19You have Pip meaning Magwidge.
14:22What language choices do that have?
14:24Come on.
14:26Okay.
14:27So, well, we thought that words like cotton stone were to do with pain.
14:32So you might feel sorry for him because he's been through some stuff.
14:34He's also scary because he growls like an animal at Pip.
14:38See?
14:39Good stuff.
14:40Focusing on language is good.
14:42All right?
14:43And the growl was a nice catch.
14:44Well done.
14:45What I want everyone to do is really push our thinking when it comes to looking at...
14:49Excuse me?
14:52Sorry, miss.
14:53Where have you been, Callum?
14:55I don't want to just leave it, miss.
14:56Well, no.
14:57You do not get to walk into my class halfway through and act like it's my fault.
15:01Way outside, please.
15:02I'll...
15:02No.
15:03I'm going to be here.
15:08Sit down.
15:09Be quiet.
15:10And show me you're ready to learn.
15:12Take your hoodie off.
15:13I've asked you once before already.
15:15Yeah.
15:16When you do bear, do you look like a little scruff?
15:19Uh, Harvey, no.
15:20Stop.
15:21We've had a good lesson.
15:22Oh, no.
15:22Oh, no.
15:23Oh, no.
15:23Oh, no.
15:23Oh, no.
15:24Oh, no.
15:24Oh, no.
15:24Calm down.
15:25Harvey, stop.
15:26No, no.
15:26Over there.
15:27It's only having a laugh for a little look.
15:28Outside.
15:29No, I just want to be in here.
15:31Just let me sit down.
15:31No, you are not thinking straight, all right?
15:33You need to take a breath.
15:34Your behaviour...
15:34Harvey, stop.
15:36Hey, it's you.
15:36Yeah, all right.
15:37I will deal with Harvey.
15:38You have come in, disrupted my...
15:40Oh, tell me what I'm missing.
15:41Come on.
15:42Come on, tell me what I've missed.
15:44Calm down.
15:45I'm calm.
15:45I need to be in here.
15:46Let me be in here.
15:47Right, you need to think, okay?
15:49What choices?
15:50You're not listening.
15:51Why are you fucking listening to me?
15:54Helen, you are one step away from a phone call home.
15:57I know that's not what you want.
15:58Fuck off.
15:59Fuck off.
16:01I've come in for this.
16:02I want to do this.
16:04Just let me sit down.
16:06I've come in for this.
16:06I want to do this.
16:08You're going to the behaviour unit.
16:09Out.
16:17Are you all right, miss?
16:27Yeah, just back to it, everyone, please.
16:32Miss, I'm...
16:32Harvey, you go to the behaviour unit, too.
16:44You want a cuppa?
16:45I want plenty of stuff, then.
16:48I'm all right, thanks.
16:51Look, I'm sorry about before.
16:53No, it's my fault.
16:54My head's been all over the place.
16:56I wasn't thinking straight.
16:58Then I was late for the lesson.
17:00I usually have a routine and stuff before a lesson,
17:03but I don't know, I just...
17:05I got overwhelmed.
17:07A job can do that.
17:09I did well on the resilience module at uni.
17:12Being here, though, is something else.
17:15No, I feel for you.
17:17This is a hard school to train at.
17:19I mean, the job's good when you start to see the kids develop in interesting ways
17:24or understand new things,
17:27make sure you're a good teacher.
17:30But that takes time, and we don't have that here.
17:33You've just got to keep moving forward and get to the end of the day.
17:37Teaching here, I think I'll swim.
17:42It just is.
17:44You're throwing them at the deep end, and you don't swim.
17:49You don't.
17:50Hiya, it's me.
18:01Leave me a message, and I'll text you back.
18:04Mum, I need you, please.
18:07Run on, Mum.
18:08Alan, what are you doing?
18:10You should be in behaviour unit with me.
18:12Come on.
18:12I want to talk to Mrs. Garrison.
18:15Well, you can't right now.
18:16Let's go.
18:16Come on, take your body off as well.
18:21No.
18:21Are you supposed to talk to my teacher?
18:23The writing has purpose.
18:25Yes, which could be...
18:27Erm...
18:29If you want me to buy better snacks for these lunch clubs,
18:32what will you have to do?
18:34Not just ask me, but...
18:36Convince, persuade.
18:39Yes!
18:40So that's why it's transactional writing.
18:41It wants something from its reader.
18:43All right.
18:45That's all we've got time for today.
18:47Pack up your bits and go get some fresh air.
18:50Ben, think of it like this.
18:52Tactics in football.
18:53Different choices bring about different results.
18:56Same goes for your writing choices.
18:58Yeah?
18:58Yeah, okay.
18:59That makes sense.
19:00All right.
19:01Well done, guys.
19:03Same again tomorrow if you fancy.
19:04I'll be here as always.
19:05You all right, Kirsty?
19:10Yeah.
19:13Can I take some of these snacks home for tea tonight?
19:21Of course you can, yeah.
19:26If you ever want to talk, you know I'm here, don't you?
19:31Yeah.
19:32Thanks, miss.
19:33Sit down.
19:39I'll get you some work.
19:55So it was Callum from Year 10?
19:57I mean, I really thought he was going to hit me,
19:59which is so unlike how he usually is.
20:03I'll have a word with him once he's cooled down.
20:05Have you told pupils report?
20:08I emailed them, but apparently no one's in until next week.
20:12So a bit like the behaviour management we were promised last year.
20:15Non-existent.
20:16I've literally just done two classes, send pupils, yeah,
20:19and I'm fully convinced.
20:20They just want to cut back and cut back
20:22and just see what the bare minimum we can function with.
20:24And I'm, you know what, I'm sick of it.
20:26I mean, totally honest, Amy.
20:30What's your thing about leaving?
20:31You say this again and again.
20:34Yeah, because it's getting worse.
20:35This is a job, Joe.
20:37I mean, you nearly getting hit, it's not part of the job.
20:39That's not normal, is it?
20:40Look, I know the places, they're going to have to...
20:42They'll just have similar problems.
20:43Not enough money, not enough staff.
20:45We can't just quit because it's getting tough, OK?
20:48I went to a school like this, and the kids need us here.
20:51So what are you going to do?
20:51Just stay here just for the sake of it.
20:53What? I'm not saying that.
20:54All right, well, I'm not having a go at you.
20:56Yeah, you are a bit, actually.
21:01Amy, I...
21:02Look, I've been thinking a lot, OK?
21:06I just...
21:07I just think...
21:08if we do have a kid
21:10and we're spending all of our time here,
21:13just working, what, 70, 80 hour weeks,
21:15working ourselves to the bone,
21:16become just two husks of people,
21:21expending all our time and effort and energy
21:22on other people's kids
21:23and not being able to look after our own.
21:26That's not right.
21:27That's not fair, is it?
21:34Yeah.
21:38Well, what is it?
21:41Um.
21:44Well, I was going to tell you later, but...
21:46well, it's been weighing on me, actually,
21:49and then...
21:50we have everything that's gone on today,
21:52just...
21:54I'm not pregnant.
22:03I felt a bit funny this morning.
22:05I thought...
22:06maybe...
22:07but I took a test,
22:10and I'm not, so...
22:13you OK?
22:19Yeah.
22:21Just maybe need a break from time, though.
22:25Yeah, yeah, I get that.
22:27I think it's just because you're acting head of the department.
22:42Oh, eh, grey and far more of the truth
22:45that hasn't been done.
22:46Yeah, I think you'd eat bottom set.
22:47What, and you just thought,
22:48dump them on Amy's desk?
22:50I think it's just because you're acting head of the department.
22:52No, I'm not.
22:53Well, no, not officially, but...
22:55And marking books is something that we can all do?
22:57Eh?
22:58I've been doing loads.
23:00Are we doing another late night tonight?
23:03Only because if we are,
23:04I'll order us another pizza.
23:08Hello?
23:09Amy?
23:09Oh, my God, Christ, Meg.
23:10I don't know, I don't know.
23:12I'm just trying to think about Osted today, OK?
23:14Never mind tomorrow.
23:15I'm just trying to get my lessons bulletproof,
23:17but I can't, can I?
23:18Because there's never any fucking time.
23:23We're all having a bad day, Amy?
23:25Yeah.
23:26Oh, eh, if you go on a photocopy
23:29and it's broken again, sorry.
23:32I was meant to say, sorry.
23:34Well, never mind telling me, Megs.
23:35How about someone else go fix it?
23:37Hmm?
23:37I don't do anything special.
23:38Just follow the instructions,
23:40turn it off and on again.
23:41All right.
23:42Do you know what?
23:42I'm getting sick to my back teeth
23:44of everyone just dumping everything on my desk
23:45expecting me to suit it.
23:51Oh, God.
23:55Hey, Amy?
24:01Bad time?
24:03Massively so, but go on.
24:09I'll be quick.
24:10We're putting together a response
24:12to the Drew situation.
24:13I want us to be prepared,
24:15so we're looking at a full staff conduct review
24:16across the board by an external.
24:19We're also moving you
24:21into the head of English role.
24:24Your experience,
24:25you're trusted by the parents and staff.
24:26It's a good, positive move.
24:28If we could just get a quote from you
24:30about taking on the role
24:31and moving forward,
24:33that'd be brilliant.
24:33You can really shape the department.
24:38I want a more holistic approach
24:39with a fantastic teacher at the centre.
24:42And it's a great opportunity.
24:47Why is it that man has to fail
24:48so spectacularly
24:50for a woman to get a great opportunity?
24:52That's not what this is.
24:54It feels like PR.
24:55It feels like you want me to come and clean up.
24:57Look, we've had this conversation before.
24:58You know,
24:59you know I backed you
25:00for that job I had to do last year.
25:02And I also know
25:02that I ended up doing the role anyway,
25:04just without the pay or job title.
25:07Well, that can change.
25:08Look, I want these kids
25:09to have their absolute best
25:10because I think they deserve it.
25:11And I know you feel the same.
25:13I know it.
25:14The school needs you.
25:15You're a fixer.
25:16You make the best of what we've got.
25:18And that's all we need going forward.
25:20Yeah?
25:22Will you replace Drew?
25:23Because if nothing else,
25:25he was a body in the room.
25:28We can't straight away.
25:29We're going to have to be creative
25:30with the timetabling.
25:31Yeah, so that's my problem.
25:33I will be head of department.
25:35I'll come to you with a problem
25:36and you'll tell me,
25:37sorry, Amy,
25:38nothing we can do.
25:39That's not good.
25:40No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
25:41Hold on.
25:41Because as much as I'm thinking about it,
25:43as much as I'm interested,
25:44I'm also thinking
25:45you're offering this to me
25:46because I'm not a fixer.
25:48I just put up with things.
25:49I mean, Chris, look,
25:51I try my hardest, I do,
25:53but let's be honest,
25:55it's not getting any better
25:56around here, is it?
25:57Well, that's why I want you
25:58ahead of English.
25:59You can raise the standards,
26:01imprint on it.
26:02We are limited, yes,
26:04but better days are coming
26:06if we work at it.
26:07All right, all right.
26:12Cards on the table.
26:13The head's done.
26:15The head's done after this Hofstede.
26:17He took us into special measures
26:19and he's not getting us out.
26:21Schools evolve and thrive
26:22or they stagnate in mediocrity and die.
26:26We're close to the abyss and...
26:28You're going to save us all.
26:30Well, the governor's not got ambition.
26:32They know I can spend the money
26:33better than Andy,
26:34make better decisions,
26:34like putting you in a position of power.
26:37Look, the kids need us.
26:43Let me know by the end of the day.
26:44I really want you for this.
27:04What?
27:23Stop!
27:25Stop right now!
27:26Get in!
27:26Get in!
27:27Get in!
27:28Get in!
27:28Stop right now!
27:30Get in!
27:30Get in!
27:31Get in!
27:31Help you sit down, Callum. Outside now.
27:38Now!
27:40I can't do this. This isn't fair.
27:44Everyone back in your seats!
27:46What happened?
27:47Well, the bleeding hell were you.
27:49It's only went to Lou.
27:50Callum!
27:59You all right? Miss?
28:00Yes.
28:25Right, more poetry.
28:28We are going to be looking at two poems today,
28:32picking them apart in our pairs,
28:35and then maybe some writing at the end.
28:37Paul, can you hand those up for me, please?
28:39It's going to be a good one today,
28:40so let's get started,
28:42and it will be closer to home time.
28:43So what is Wordsworth doing here with the language of...
28:57Blake, miss? It's bleak.
28:59Yes, Blake. Sorry.
29:04Um...
29:05So here we have Blake,
29:07wandering through London in the 1790s,
29:10describing a nightmarish dystopia,
29:14corrupted by those in power,
29:15inflaming everyone who lives there.
29:17What?
29:18Hi.
29:20Mind if I pop in?
29:23Yeah, of course.
29:26Hello.
29:28Settle down, everyone.
29:29Back to work, please.
29:33Well, what have you done it, miss?
29:34Come on.
29:35Oh, yeah.
29:37Okay, right.
29:39So, then...
29:40Tell me things.
29:42What is it?
29:43Any answer.
29:45Any answer will do.
29:46A poem.
29:47Yes, Paul, it is a poem.
29:49But how do we know it's a poem?
29:52Hmm?
29:53The way it looks.
29:55Yes, Gabby, but, you know,
29:57it's not enough to just say that.
29:58Come on, give me more.
29:59Use what we've been over already.
30:01It's about London.
30:06And it uses...
30:09a metaphor.
30:10Yes!
30:11Well done, that's great.
30:12Excellent.
30:13Come on, anyone else?
30:14It's an...
30:15What?
30:16Our poem.
30:17It is an old poem, correct?
30:19But how do we know?
30:23Hmm?
30:25Anyone?
30:27Guys, it's not enough to just say it's a poem, okay?
30:29What type of poem is it?
30:31How do we know it's a poem?
30:33What language is Blake using, okay?
30:36More.
30:37You guys, come on, keep going.
30:38You need to give me more.
30:45Move on, yeah, miss?
30:46Yeah, just look at the Wordsworth, okay?
30:49Blake, miss.
30:51You know what I mean, Gabby.
30:52Just turn off and on, miss, come on.
30:54Just carry on looking out, everyone, okay?
30:57It's gonna be fine.
30:59It's normally worse than it's Ofsted.
31:01This is why we got him set.
31:05Miss, can you come check when I've done, please?
31:07Miss, this is so boring.
31:08I hate you.
31:08I'm not.
31:09Miss, like, bring.
31:10Why are we even doing this?
31:11I'm not.
31:12I don't know, miss.
31:16Stop!
31:16Just stop, okay?
31:18You can see I'm having a problem here.
31:20You can see it's not working.
31:21So just stop.
31:28It wasn't a good lesson.
31:30But the lesson plan was good, though.
31:32You've seen that.
31:34You've read that.
31:35Yes, well, these things can happen.
31:38I'd love to have a wider chat about the department.
31:41Maybe think about doing a learning walk through lessons tomorrow.
31:44Yeah.
31:44Yeah, that's fine.
31:46And what did you write down about the lesson?
31:48Oh, I can't talk about it.
31:52Bad, then?
31:54You know, it's not about one individual lesson.
31:57It's more about the learning across the larger landscape of the school.
32:00Yeah, but, you know, I said it was a bad lesson.
32:03I understand where I went wrong.
32:05Does that not count for anything in your report?
32:08Well, you may know you've had one bad lesson.
32:11We're here to make sure that it's not something which is occurring regularly.
32:14So the point of view is to come here and tell us things we already know.
32:19Brilliant.
32:21Absolutely brilliant.
32:22I'm not sure what this is, but I do understand that this is a school going through tough times.
32:27No, you do not care.
32:29I do care.
32:30Oh, please.
32:30And we want rapid improvement.
32:34This is a school you put into special measures.
32:36A school that has no support, finance cuts, staff cuts, and you expect rapid improvements.
32:43It can be done.
32:44Oh.
32:44Even in the toughest of circumstances and with limitations, improvements have to be made.
32:50That's the job.
32:51I have heard it time and time again.
32:53We need to be doing more with less.
32:56But we have nothing.
32:57And you are expecting everything from us.
33:02Your eye looks swollen.
33:04Yes, I am having a bad day.
33:07Where does that stand in your larger landscape of things?
33:10Well, what happened?
33:11You shouldn't have been teaching.
33:12There you go.
33:14Telling me things I already know.
33:15Again.
33:16Look, I was a teacher too.
33:19I do understand.
33:20You were last in a classroom when?
33:23No, you judge us based on your own whims with zero consideration for the fact that the system is fucking shattered.
33:31Now, I don't know what's going on here, but I do know that if you're going through something, then it needs to be done away from the classroom.
33:38Your bad day should not affect the children's learning.
33:41If it were your child, you would want the best.
33:44And if you weren't getting it, then you would want intervention and action.
33:50Now, I'm going to go and look for some ice for your eye.
33:53You shouldn't have done that lesson.
33:57Hey, come on.
35:23No.
35:32Come on.
35:34Let's go for a walk.
35:36It was a good lesson you missed.
35:39All about picking up on language and how to convey meaning through choice.
35:44All stuff you're good at.
35:47Probably the best lesson of the day, which is saying something.
35:49I didn't mean to hurt you.
35:54You shouldn't have been fighting, Callum.
35:57People are taking piss, laughing at me, are they?
36:00That's why you need to be in your proper uniform.
36:02What?
36:02I like it.
36:04I haven't got it.
36:06That's nice.
36:07Keep it for when you're not at school.
36:11I really didn't mean to it, yeah.
36:13I know.
36:15Still did, though.
36:16I'm sorry.
36:19Really am.
36:20What's going on, Callum?
36:23You've not been right today.
36:27Are you still my teacher?
36:29You can talk to me, you know that.
36:30I wanted to come to office, but I didn't want to see any of the teachers.
36:39Because I was going to come and see you.
36:40I wanted to come and see you this morning.
36:42That's why you were late.
36:44Then I wanted to talk to you in the lesson.
36:46I wanted to be in the lesson.
36:47I did.
36:47I proper did.
36:48I wanted to be there.
36:49It didn't seem like it.
36:50I did.
36:51I would just fucking...
36:52I couldn't hack it.
36:55I just...
36:55I wanted to talk.
36:57Well, talk to me now.
36:58What's wrong?
36:59I was going to...
37:00I did want to tell you.
37:02I was going to come and then I didn't.
37:04And it all just...
37:05Built up in me head and...
37:08Tell me now, Callum.
37:10Tell me.
37:14I think...
37:16I think...
37:19I think my mum's dead.
37:22Just leave it, miss.
37:30Just leave it, you know.
37:34We agreed.
37:36I'm going to go in.
37:38Check.
37:39And then we can make some calls.
37:41I don't want anyone else.
37:43I just...
37:43I think I'm wrong.
37:45I'm probably wrong.
37:45Do you want me to go in?
37:48I don't know.
38:18God bless you.
38:48God bless you.
39:18God bless you.
39:48I wish I was calling you and not 999.
39:51Okay, well, I'll, um, I'll let the school know.
39:54Thanks.
39:55I'll bring him back to school as well.
39:58Can't just keep him here.
40:00Okay.
40:01I don't think there's anyone else, is there?
40:04Not that I know of.
40:06I, um, I'll call the social as well.
40:11What kid?
40:15He isn't bits.
40:19How did you find him?
40:21He was at the bus stop in his school.
40:26I, um, walked out.
40:29What do you mean?
40:29You walked out?
40:30Are you okay?
40:32No.
40:33We'll talk later.
40:35Love you.
40:35I love you too.
40:39And listen, you're brilliant.
40:42Okay.
40:45Bye.
40:45I shouldn't have said anything.
40:56No.
40:57You did the right thing.
40:58I don't know what happened.
41:07I went to bed.
41:10She stayed up.
41:12She stays with it, you know.
41:13I get up in the morning.
41:18I wake her up because she sleeps heavy.
41:22She makes breakfast.
41:24I get ready.
41:27I have breakfast together and then I go to school.
41:34See her for tea.
41:36Help her make tea and that's what we do.
41:38She wasn't in bed this morning.
41:44She was in the chair.
41:48And I tried to wake her up.
41:51Did it quietly and then a bit louder.
41:56Didn't know what to do on me.
41:57She was so cold.
42:01Honey, why didn't you tell anyone?
42:04Because everything's going to change and I don't want it to.
42:08I just wanted to go to school.
42:11It didn't work.
42:12But I couldn't.
42:14I promised that I'd do better in school, be better.
42:17But I've been...
42:18It's been fucked all day.
42:19It's okay.
42:22It's okay.
42:27No, no.
42:28Yesterday it was fine.
42:30Last night it was fine.
42:31No, it's not.
42:34I don't understand why I don't get it, miss.
42:36It's not fair.
42:37Callum, is there not anyone I can call that can come and help?
42:45This is it.
42:47Without where I'm alone.
42:52And I don't understand why she's in there, but she's not.
42:56She's not.
42:57I want her to tell her what to do, but she can't.
43:06She's not fair, miss.
43:07I don't want this, miss.
43:08I don't want it.
43:09It's okay.
43:11It's okay.
43:12It's okay.
43:12Is that a lot, mate?
43:38It's about me and this place.
43:43Go on, you go.
43:44Two seconds, yeah?
43:46Are you in trouble?
43:47No.
43:48Nothing right now.
43:51I'm not doing this on my own.
43:54You won't.
43:56All right?
43:57I'm right behind you.
43:58I'm not looking.
44:18I'm not looking.
44:18I'm not looking.
44:19I'm not looking.
44:19No.
