00:00Stella and I thought it'd be best if we shared an office.
00:02I've got big plans.
00:04Never changed, do you, Donovan?
00:06Absolutely not.
00:07My time at Ofsted gave me invaluable insight,
00:09and let's work together to bring Waterloo Road back.
00:12All the budget lines, everything under my remit.
00:14Well done for taking the initiative.
00:16You're gonna come and stay with me?
00:17Just until you get yourself back on your feet?
00:22I'm sorry I don't know BSL.
00:24Cute.
00:25Don't be jealous that I'm a good footballer, Shola.
00:30Actually not.
00:31For once, I am getting a bit of tension.
00:33Just don't jump into anything too quickly, eh?
00:34Hey, that's nice.
00:35Thanks, coach.
00:36Hi, we're looking for a friend.
00:37She's called Portia.
00:38Apparently she comes here a lot.
00:40Tonya?
00:41Dad?
00:42So you're the coach Portia and Shola have been talking about?
00:45Tell her to ring me.
00:55I'm gonna fight.
01:20Dear staff members, this morning I've had notice that we are to receive an immediate
01:36visit from a team of Ofsted inspectors.
01:39I realise that this may seem alarming at first, but I have full confidence in the staff and
01:43pupils of the school, so there is no need for any panic.
01:47We will deal with this how we deal with everything else.
01:49As a strong and united team.
02:05Awful.
02:06We'll get an outstanding for tonsil tennis then, won't we?
02:09Didn't get Stella's email?
02:11E-mail?
02:12You bar-kidding.
02:13You bar-kidding.
02:15We want to find out about Ofsted.
02:17This morning.
02:18Can you collate the Alps figures for me please?
02:21Baw them into submission, yes.
02:23I'll organise a timetable.
02:24Er, it's too late for that.
02:26Find Debs and make sure that everything is doubly clean.
02:29Sorry.
02:30I went through two red lights to get here.
02:32Might have done me a favour getting knocked off.
02:34A&E or Ofsted?
02:35It's a difficult choice.
02:36Calm down Joseph.
02:37Sorry, I've got PTSD off the last inspection.
02:40It was...
02:41It's not you they've got a problem with.
02:43I was the one who left Ofsted under a cloud.
02:45Look, this is gonna be the last post of my career and I'm damned if I'm gonna be remembered
02:49for failing to turn this school around.
02:51Yes.
02:52Okay.
02:53Okay.
02:54Ow.
02:55It's not me.
02:56Check you out, lioness.
02:57Hey.
02:58That's what's worse you.
03:01Her make-up artist says she might have some work experience for you.
03:17Nah.
03:18Thanks but that was the old me.
03:20But you were so good at it.
03:22I owe my career to Portia Weaver.
03:24You've got me lip gloss.
03:25I don't mind using it but technically that's theft so.
03:29Come on.
03:30Well, I thought you could afford a new one with you.
03:32Your new posh job.
03:33Right.
03:34I tell you what.
03:35Why don't I take you shopping at the weekend.
03:37Get you a few bits.
03:38It's been ages since we've spent any time together.
03:40Sorry I can't.
03:41I've got plans.
03:42Can I just have the money?
03:43Hiya.
03:44Oh hey dad.
03:45Ten years nowhere to be seeing us.
03:47Suddenly you're everywhere.
03:49Er.
03:50Yeah.
03:51Sorry.
03:52Got a meeting with Mr Donovan.
03:53Not about what?
03:54About linking our football club up with the school.
03:56Great.
03:57What?
03:58Eh?
03:59That's G.
04:00Said.
04:011, 1, 1.
04:31Liam, take your cap!
04:45Is he in this? He's messaged me back.
04:57Morning.
04:58Ollie Gump from Offstead.
04:59Darius Donovan, Deputy Head.
05:00Do you want to park in one of those bays over there?
05:02One minute.
05:05These spaces are reserved for the staff.
05:07There's a public car park, two roads past the roundabout.
05:11It's, oh, it's 31 minutes before I'm obliged to let you into the school.
05:16So that should work out perfectly.
05:19Sure.
05:21That's the game we're playing, is it?
05:25Nicely played.
05:26I'll go and rally the troops.
05:27Thanks.
05:27Wait, are you messaging?
05:33Signed up to an app and this guy got in touch.
05:36We've not stopped talking.
05:39Come on then, let's see his photo.
05:41Do you think I should meet you in person?
05:42He's wealthy.
05:44Yes.
05:45And he's into you as well.
05:46Wish can help.
05:51Where does he live?
05:52The app says three miles from me.
05:54You should go for it then.
05:56Yeah?
05:57The face on that inspector who was not impressed.
05:59Yeah, but the board is time to get this place ship-shaped, isn't it?
06:02Can they just clear all this stuff up up here, please?
06:04Now, please, can you give me a hand with this, please?
06:06Yeah.
06:06You're not on the floor.
06:10Oh, sorry.
06:11Sorry.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I just mean I thought you were going to roll out the red carpet, not poke the bear.
06:16I was head of officer.
06:17I know what it takes to pass an inspection.
06:19There's not a rule I don't know how to bend.
06:21Okay.
06:22Crack open a playbook of dirty tricks.
06:23I'm all in.
06:24No, I said bend a rule, not break them.
06:26Hmm?
06:26Okay.
06:26Right, I need you to call the staff meeting.
06:29We need everybody pulling together.
06:31No slip-ups.
06:34Oh, no, stop.
06:36We only have a TA covering periods one and two art.
06:41You don't teach periods one and two?
06:42You're qualified.
06:43That's mad.
06:44No, I, no.
06:45I can't draw a pair of curtains.
06:47We all have to muck in together, Joseph.
06:48Look, get out of your comfort zone.
06:50Oh, right, yeah.
06:51You'll be asking me to cut an ear off next.
06:53No, engaging the students will suffice.
06:55Right, I'll just van go and get on with it, will I?
07:00Yeah, because you know he sliced his ear off.
07:02Yeah, you've got no choice now, have you?
07:05Well, I think I can just take you there if you want.
07:08No, visitors have to stay here.
07:10Can't have just anybody wandering around schooling, can I?
07:12Thanks, Dad.
07:13Yo, T.
07:14Hey.
07:15I've been looking at consoles, and I've found the best deals.
07:18Oh, yeah, hi to you too, Ashton.
07:20Oh, yeah, hey.
07:21I'm two seeing very pally.
07:23Yeah, Dad made us dinner the other night.
07:25They actually get along really well.
07:27Really?
07:28How cosy.
07:29Oh, er, Dickey, staff room, please.
07:32It's, er, Lufstead.
07:34What?
07:34Oh, men.
07:35Oh, er, Lufthead.
08:09We'll have a few more with you today.
08:32Keep the less desirables away from the inspectors.
08:35Is that ethical?
08:36The Geneva Convention does not apply to Ofsted inspections.
08:40But that's not what the inclusion unit's for.
08:43Well, today it is.
08:45OK, team, the nervous energy suggests you all already know
08:49that Ofsted are visiting the school today.
08:51If this is the first we're hearing,
08:52it must be an emergency inspection, right?
08:55What does that mean?
08:56Well, it's not going to be pat on the back, is it?
08:58No, it's not.
08:59But that's what you all deserve.
09:00You should be very proud of how far this school has come this year,
09:03even if they're...
09:03Let's not let the past define us.
09:05Best foot forward today.
09:07We must be squeaky clean.
09:09I want best behaviour in lessons.
09:11I'm sorry, So Ofsted,
09:12they're actually coming into the classes then?
09:14Yeah, just...
09:14Don't let them intimidate you, you know?
09:17The trick is,
09:19imagine them all naked.
09:21Really.
09:23Bit pervy.
09:24Look, I've got faith in all of you.
09:25If we work together, we will be fine.
09:28This is for you.
09:30Took me an hour to do that one braiding her hair
09:32cos she's such a fidget bum.
09:33I don't know if I'd have the patience.
09:35You've got to when it comes to kids.
09:36They're always first.
09:39Shame my mum didn't get the memo.
09:41You are nothing like your mum.
09:43She looks well happy.
09:44She has a moment, but...
09:46It's worth it.
09:48Shame you're missing out on Ivy, though.
09:51Look, you're so busy getting me ready this morning.
09:53You want me to have your breakfast?
09:54My new hot sauce?
09:56Yeah, well,
09:57this ain't gonna be enough if I pick me up.
09:59I'm gonna go get a coffee before lessons.
10:01Letters.
10:02See you, Vic.
10:06Poor Stace.
10:06You know she's putting on a brave face.
10:09Brave face on for what?
10:10A few weeks ago she was planning a holiday,
10:12and now she's competing for a high score
10:14on Unicorn Kingdom,
10:15with a four-year-old.
10:16But she loves having Mia.
10:18Yeah, we both do.
10:19Yeah, of course, but...
10:21Doesn't mean she's not missing out on stuff.
10:26Maybe you should talk to your parents again.
10:28You know, now that they know the truth,
10:30Leone knows they know, you know...
10:32You should all know the uniform policy by now.
10:35Yes, smart study spot.
10:36Shiri, tie.
10:37Tie.
10:38On, please.
10:41No, I'm not going.
10:43I haven't done anything.
10:44I haven't said that you have,
10:45and you need to calm down.
10:47Leone, you're not doing yourself any favours.
10:49Hey, Leone.
10:50I'm not going to inclusion.
10:52I'm fine.
10:53I thought you were on my side.
10:55I am!
10:56Look, she's only doing what I've asked her to.
10:58We've got Ofsted in today.
11:00We need to make a good impression.
11:02Can you hand on heart promise me
11:04you won't kick off with anyone?
11:05All right, come on, let's go.
11:12Come on.
11:13How is it, Stella?
11:14Dame Stella Drake.
11:16I trust you found somewhere to park?
11:18Nice to meet you.
11:19And you.
11:19You'd like to come through?
11:26Have you ever taught art before, sir?
11:28No.
11:29Please bear in mind that...
11:31Sorry, sorry.
11:33But please bear in mind, okay,
11:34that we may be observed by Ofsted today, so...
11:37No, no, that is not what it means, all right?
11:41It means that we have to be on our best behaviour
11:43for the inspector,
11:44taking pride in our...
11:45What is he doing?
11:46...school?
11:47Yes, Luca.
11:54No, oh, what are you...
11:56No, please, come on.
11:57Right, okay.
11:58I haven't got time for this,
12:00so can we just settle down?
12:02That's good.
12:04Hey, Don.
12:05What's going on with Portia?
12:08What, the new look?
12:09It's like she's gone football crazy.
12:11She's just throwing herself into it.
12:13Apparently my dad's really helped her find a purpose.
12:16I reckon it's good for her.
12:17Was your dad looking for you before?
12:23Oh, no, he's here to see Mr. Donovan
12:25about some football coaching.
12:28Coaching...
12:28Here?
12:30Mm-hmm.
12:31At the school?
12:31Mm-hmm.
12:34Cool.
12:35Oh, nice.
12:49What are you doing?
12:52Oh, that is hanging.
12:53That is hanging.
12:54No.
12:56Right, come on.
12:56We could have Ofsted in any minute.
12:59Get that off before it goes.
13:00Do not do that.
13:01Do not put in anyone's...
13:02Er, excuse me.
13:03Oh, yeah, please.
13:04Come on.
13:05Wash it off now, okay?
13:07It's enough.
13:08She seems the same to me.
13:10Doing anything to get out of lessons.
13:15Here you go.
13:17These are the Alps figures that, er, you requested.
13:20Having worked as an inspector yourself,
13:23you know that an emergency inspection
13:24is indicative of concerns being raised.
13:27Concerns about the school or concerns about me.
13:30I'd hate to think that we were being singled out
13:32because of my history with Ofsted.
13:34This is nothing personal.
13:35In fact, I have huge respect for all you've achieved,
13:38but we received information about drugs in the school.
13:41Yeah, but that has been dealt with.
13:43Senior leadership have been working closely with the police.
13:46We also had parental complaints,
13:47which necessitates us observing lessons.
13:50Nothing's off limits today.
13:51And we have nothing to hide.
14:05Oh, hi, Tony.
14:10Portia?
14:11What are you doing here?
14:14Did one of the lads get on your nerves?
14:16Do I need to ring an ambulance?
14:17Nah, leave him.
14:19Sam, have I made it onto the team this week or what?
14:22Well, I'm just figuring all that out now.
14:25Shouldn't you be in class?
14:26Proper boring.
14:27I can't concentrate.
14:29Really?
14:30You've got a great concentration in matches.
14:32Yeah, that's because it's fun.
14:33Low's going on.
14:34No time for your mind to wander.
14:38Have you ever tried
14:39the rubber band trick?
14:42Yeah.
14:44And you find yourself drifting off?
14:46Just a little snap.
14:47Like that.
14:49Just reminds you to come back into the moment.
14:51Worth a try.
14:52You better get rid of the victim's DNA.
14:56Go on.
15:04Ah, Tony.
15:05Hi.
15:06Thanks for coming in.
15:08Tony's a qualified coach from a local club.
15:10Just one of the ways we are building links with the community
15:13and utilising external expertise.
15:15Pleased to meet you.
15:16Nice to meet you.
15:18Do you want to come through?
15:22Is there a way to check if
15:31someone's profile pic's not real?
15:34Er, yeah.
15:36It's a reverse image search.
15:38Should be able to show if the photo's been used anywhere else.
15:42Oh.
15:46Oh.
15:48You might not be as local as you thought, though.
15:51Try Webster.
15:52A deaf influencer from New York.
15:55Oh, sorry, Freds.
15:56That sucks.
15:58So the guy I'm messaging the photo's not him?
16:02Is this a scam or, like, some pervy granddad?
16:06I mean, I suppose it could be a real guy
16:08and he just doesn't want to use his own photo.
16:10Well, Lenin had a utopian vision of a new society.
16:24One where land could be redistributed to peasants
16:26and workers were entitled to unemployment pay and pensions.
16:30Sir, I thought I read somewhere that he wanted to ban history.
16:34Well, you read wrong.
16:35History is the bedrock of education.
16:38It's the bedrock of fake news.
16:40Yes, thank you for that, Lois.
16:41Now...
16:41I mean, the clues in the titles are history.
16:44We never hear about herstory.
16:46And history isn't even facts.
16:48It's opinions.
16:49Men's opinions.
16:50Here we go.
16:52Herodotus, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Lord Acton,
16:55Hobsbawm.
16:56Name me one female historian.
16:59Um...
16:59Uh...
17:01Mary Beard.
17:03Bloke's name.
17:04Pre-20th century.
17:07Uh...
17:08I thought you knew everything.
17:11Just, um...
17:12Come on, sir.
17:13Can't handle the pressure.
17:15Yeah.
17:15Are you all right, sir?
17:18Neil?
17:19Are you having a show?
17:22Dad?
17:23I've been informed that it is my right
17:35to request a break in this inspection.
17:39Right.
17:45Bye!
17:45Bye!
17:49Right, uh...
17:50You get to see me lead a lesson now.
17:53You get to see me lead a dent, Ian.
17:57Take a seat.
17:57And where did he even get the sport, or?
18:05What are you doing that for?
18:07Just a thing you do for concentration.
18:10Tony showed it, man.
18:11Tony isn't coach Tony.
18:14Yeah.
18:15He's in the office.
18:16Sorry I'm on the way down to the toilets.
18:18The office isn't on the way to the toilets.
18:21I took a lot of detour.
18:25It's good.
18:27I like it.
18:31Well, football gives kids hope.
18:33Teaching them teamwork and responsibility.
18:36And that's why everyone gets an equal chance.
18:38Same amount of time on the pitch.
18:39And you've got the session plans I put together.
18:42I did.
18:43Yes.
18:43They are exactly what we discussed.
18:45Great.
18:47Well, let me know when you want me to start.
18:49Today?
18:50Off's did her in.
18:51So, the more positive things I see, the better.
18:53Sounds good.
18:54Mr. Charles, I'll have to refer to your obsessions, obviously.
18:58Perfect.
18:59Great.
19:00Well, it's novelty value, isn't it?
19:02Well, you get taken for granted and he waltzes in with his nauseating positivity.
19:07Look, there is a time and place for that.
19:09But it's just the way that he talks about his club.
19:11It's like he's actually managed his city or something.
19:14Tonya's over the moon that he's back, by the way.
19:16Yeah, of course.
19:16And I'm happy for her.
19:18As long as he treats her right.
19:20Exactly.
19:21She's been there loads lately.
19:22Yeah, Ashton too.
19:23He keeps raving on about this shed.
19:26Shed.
19:27Hey.
19:28Hey.
19:29You, er, ready for this grand tour then?
19:31I certainly am.
19:32I mean, it's going to be a step down from what you're used to at the Etihad.
19:35Don't worry.
19:36I'm not put off by a soggy pitch and some battered footballs.
19:40Come on then.
19:53Rainforests aren't overrated.
19:58My head turns to mush when I've not had enough kick.
20:00Hmm.
20:01Are you finding it hard with Mia?
20:03No.
20:04I love it.
20:05I'm glad that you encouraged me to take her.
20:07Proper little character.
20:08I couldn't imagine life without her.
20:10Yeah, I know.
20:10But it doesn't mean it's not tough though, does it?
20:14I mean, it's not the exact fairytale that I dreamed of.
20:18But all I've ever wanted is a family.
20:20I do miss spending time with no, though.
20:26Not like that.
20:28No reckons Mia's got me wrapped around her little finger.
20:30His nan's got me wrapped around both her little fingers.
20:32You know what?
20:33It was the same when Jas was little.
20:36No quality time for Dad.
20:38And I didn't mean one at that.
20:41So, how did you get through it?
20:43We didn't.
20:44He, er...
20:45He left me for his dental hygienist.
20:49But, you know, that's not going to happen with you, Noel.
20:52No, no, no, no, no.
20:54Noel's got twice the heart than my ex did.
21:07Mum, I said don't show me up when I am at school.
21:11I'm not showing you up.
21:13I'm just here.
21:14That's what I mean.
21:16Oh, thanks.
21:17So, Dante was saying that, erm, Tony's got some kind of shed or something.
21:24The cave?
21:25Oh, Mum.
21:27The cave.
21:28It's got electric.
21:31It's got Wi-Fi.
21:32Dad said me and Ashton can go and use it whenever we want.
21:35And he's getting us a sofa bed so we can stay over.
21:40So, babe.
21:41Yeah?
21:42If the, er, the door is there.
21:44Yeah.
21:45And the sofa returns there.
21:46I'm thinking, er, maybe a little table.
21:50Put a, put a tower.
21:52Yeah, but it looks a bit fine.
21:53Right, I'll practice shooting first.
21:54And then we can swap over to one.
21:56Do we always have to play football?
21:57Oh, this is meant to be our chill-out time.
22:02Right, I'll be back in one minute, aren't I?
22:03Yeah.
22:06Yeah!
22:06How's it going, Iz?
22:10Portia?
22:10I'm taking a training session this afternoon.
22:14You'll be there, right?
22:15Yeah, definitely.
22:15That's brilliant.
22:16And, er, about this weekend?
22:19I'm, er, playing.
22:21I'm going to start you on central midfield.
22:23Serious?
22:24You're going to be the playmaker.
22:25Everything is going to go through you.
22:26I'm buzzing.
22:27I won't let you down.
22:28You've worked really hard lately.
22:30Made good progress.
22:31Proud of you.
22:33Ready?
22:34Yeah.
22:34What's this all about?
22:36Guess who's going to be starting midfield this weekend?
22:39Probably because we're sales on holiday,
22:40so we need someone to fill in.
22:42Jealous much.
22:44If you spent more time on the pitch
22:45than you did on the catwalk,
22:47Tony might actually notice you.
22:55Oi.
22:57Are you actually mad?
22:59What?
23:00Saying that Ashton and Tonya can stay over.
23:03In the cave.
23:04Sharing a bed.
23:06Hey, hang on.
23:07I never said that.
23:07Oh, well, Tonya can't wait.
23:09I said they could hang out there.
23:11Tonya could stay over.
23:12I didn't say Ashton could spend the night.
23:13Well, even if they don't sleep there,
23:15right,
23:16two hot-blooded hormonal teenagers
23:19hidden away in some little shed.
23:21That is a recipe for disaster.
23:23Well, I don't want that any more than you do.
23:24Right.
23:25Well, you better fix this.
23:27I mean it.
23:27What are you doing?
23:55Show me your phone.
23:59Is it you?
24:00On the app?
24:03Look at me.
24:04Is it you?
24:05Pretending to be someone you're not?
24:09Playing games with me.
24:11Laughing at me.
24:12I opened up to you.
24:15Some friend you are.
24:16Hey.
24:27Do you fancy a bottle of fizz and take out later?
24:32Celebrate you leading us to victory over Ofster?
24:34Ah, it won't be my victory.
24:36I am playing second fiddle to Stella.
24:38Oh, well, if it's, um,
24:42first fiddle that you're into.
24:46Not now.
24:48Don't let Queen Drake take out your glory.
24:50You behave yourself.
24:51You're the real king of the jungle.
24:53Not now.
24:54Grr.
24:55Oh, not now.
24:56You behave yourself.
24:57Real.
24:58Go on, do the tiger.
24:59No.
25:00Do the tiger.
25:01No.
25:02No, let's be gone.
25:03Grr.
25:04Oh, my God.
25:04Oh, my God.
25:06Oh, no, I know you.
25:09Oh, my God.
25:11Grr.
25:12You, you, you shouldn't be in here.
25:15Neither should you.
25:17Don't worry, sir.
25:19Your secret's not safe with us.
25:21Ha, very good.
25:23Get to inclusion.
25:24Inclusion?
25:25That is so unfair.
25:26I'm meant to be meeting the Ofsted inspectors.
25:28Well, you've blown that now, haven't you?
25:29Go.
25:33Grr.
25:35Go.
25:36Grr.
25:36Inclusion now.
25:38Oh, Forrest.
25:40Um, I would like you to join the question and session with the inspectors.
25:44I thought Harleen was doing it.
25:46Well, she's not feeling well.
25:49He looked all right to me.
25:52Um.
25:59You big the school up now, yeah?
26:02It's only the best teacher I've ever had.
26:04Of course you are.
26:05Get out of here.
26:07Quickly.
26:12So, sir, how come Macbeth is the only one that can see the ghost of Banquo?
26:21Yeah, but is the ghost actually there, though?
26:23Or is it just because Macbeth feels bad?
26:25Yes, that is a very good point.
26:27Perhaps, you know, it's because of Macbeth's guilt manifesting as this spectre,
26:33just lurking, reminding him of all of his crimes.
26:37Well, you must have done somewhat well, bad sir, because look who's behind you.
26:41Thank you, show love.
26:42OK, so I want you all to find and write about an example of Macbeth's guilt.
26:51Off you go.
26:52Why is that your screen saver?
26:54It's my first time coming on as a sub.
26:56It's because it's you and Tony together, isn't it?
26:58Oh, what are you on about?
27:00You've got a crush on him.
27:02Are you mad?
27:03Trying to find ways to spend time with him, like sneaking out of lessons, or the other night.
27:07He only asked him for a lift because he would lose his birthday.
27:09Didn't want to be late.
27:10I'm just looking out for you because I know the trouble it causes when you get obsessed with an older guy.
27:16I was dead embarrassed when people found out I liked Mike.
27:19Are you tapped or something?
27:21Just because you had a weird thing for Mike.
27:24Stay away from him, Portia.
27:25I mean it.
27:26Don't fancy him, all right?
27:28Poor guy, better get running.
27:30You want to shut up?
27:31Portia, sit down.
27:33Oh, do we need to shut you up?
27:34OK, I think as we have agreed when we can't control our anger, we need to go to the inclusion unit until you're ready to rejoin classes.
27:42If you cause that much trouble when you're sitting together, then that's what you get, isn't it?
27:54Eh?
27:55Please.
27:55Oi!
27:56Can you calm down?
27:58What's the matter, Portia?
28:01Well, I'll still be able to play football after lunch.
28:03Get a centre here.
28:04Let's just focus on getting to lunchtime first, shall we?
28:06Take a seat.
28:07Miss, I'm not sitting next to Chlamydia, girl.
28:17Oh, you're lucky I'll smash you, I dig!
28:22Right.
28:23Sorry, that's you.
28:25Keep an eye on them for me.
28:28Portia!
28:30Portia, wait!
28:31Come back inside and let's talk about this.
28:34Well, what for?
28:35I hate this place.
28:37Oh, come on, it's not that bad.
28:39You so don't get it, do you?
28:41Portia, what's up?
28:43This girl, it sucks.
28:46OK.
28:46I hear you.
28:48Every time I try to do anything, someone ruins it.
28:52Even Sherlock.
28:54I thought she was me mate.
28:55She's proper turned on me.
28:58So you're angry?
28:59Fine.
29:00What do we say about anger in training?
29:02It can...
29:03It can be...
29:05Erm...
29:07Energising.
29:08Yeah.
29:09But you've got to keep her under control, remember?
29:12Don't let them get in your head.
29:13Same as on the pitch.
29:15Control.
29:17Concentration.
29:18Confidence.
29:20I just don't know if they'll let me play in the session after lunch.
29:24Well, Mrs Walters has got your back.
29:26Maybe she can have a word.
29:29Hey.
29:29Can I just remind you that you're here to teach football, not do my job.
29:39Hey.
29:48Hey.
29:48Hey.
29:50How's it going on Tony?
29:52Erm...
29:52Yeah.
29:53Yeah, good.
29:54I mean, he was laughing at the state of our equipment, but...
29:55But you've got to give it to him though.
29:57Definitely knows his football.
29:58Yeah.
29:59That's the idea.
30:00He's got experienced coaching girls at club level, so hopefully he can get more to take it
30:02up at school.
30:03Yeah.
30:03Might be something Izzy could get involved with.
30:06Yeah, maybe.
30:07Maybe.
30:08You know, she could do with an outlet.
30:09I mean, she actually used to play.
30:11She's just not been interested in ages, but...
30:12Well, you never know until you ask.
30:14Yeah.
30:15Doing a great job.
30:16As a teacher and a dad.
30:18Tony's just here to help you out.
30:20You're not here to tread on your toes.
30:22Yeah.
30:22Yeah, I know.
30:24Hey, look.
30:24I was, er...
30:25I was thinking about asking him if we could use his club's pictures this afternoon.
30:29I mean, they're only around the corner.
30:30Their ours are always waterlogged, you know?
30:32You need a snorkel to play in them.
30:33What do you think?
30:34They look good for Ofsted.
30:36Yeah, I like it.
30:37Better, dear.
30:45Mmm!
30:46It's got a bit of a kick.
30:48Good, yeah?
30:48You should try it with some of the chicken wings, though.
30:51Right, Noel.
30:51Make this quick.
30:53I'd, er...
30:54Yeah.
30:56Erm...
30:57I'd, er...
30:59Like a pay rise.
31:00That'll be decided at your review.
31:02Right, well...
31:03Is there any way we can bring it forward?
31:05Because I've done my apprenticeship now, and I've got responsibilities.
31:08Yeah, I'm impressed at the way you're stepping up, but...
31:11Look, Stace is working so hard here to keep up with school and look after Mia.
31:15I just want to take him on a family holiday.
31:17I'm sorry, Noel, but the school budget is fixed.
31:19The only time we can look at any changes is at your performance review.
31:25Wait!
31:26No.
31:30I've got a plan.
31:30Oh, I heard of playing at the club later.
31:35Yeah.
31:35All thanks to Mr. Charles.
31:37It's great.
31:38Actually, Shola, if you've got a minute.
31:40Yeah, of course.
31:43Erm, I just wanted to ask if maybe you could go easy on Portia.
31:48Why?
31:48What she said?
31:50No, not much.
31:51It's just, erm...
31:52I think Portia's a bit more vulnerable than she seems, being in foster care and stuff.
31:56So maybe tread gently around her, yeah?
31:59I was just worried about what I thought.
32:02What?
32:07I thought she had a crush on you, but she went crazy when I said it.
32:11Crush?
32:12Well, I'm glad you told me.
32:16Erm...
32:17She was just looking out for her.
32:20You're a good friend.
32:25After all the dumps you have made us stay in, I have finally found somewhere for me.
32:31Somewhere nice!
32:32Will you stop it?
32:33You just...
32:34You've ruined everything!
32:35Can't.
32:36Don't.
32:36Oh, yeah, let's give it a rain check for the weekend it was her doing, wasn't it?
32:41Don't take it out on your mum, she was just looking out for you.
32:44Looking out for me?
32:46She is a controlled freak!
32:48Oh, God.
32:48Oh, God.
33:06Look at home.

40:15did you not know?
40:17no
40:18no I didn't
40:22it's a safe space
40:23okay so just be honest
40:24these inspectors aren't here to judge you
40:26they just want to know how you feel about the school
40:27thank you Mr. Donovan
40:29that's absolutely correct
40:31we're not here to judge you
40:33but to
40:34for hell
40:35for hell
40:36what's up weirdos?
40:38right everybody
40:39grab a chair please
40:41to get a true cross section of our school I thought it only right that you heard from some of our reintegration students
40:53thank you Mr. Donovan
40:56we'll take it from here
40:58yeah it might be best if I stayed actually
40:59I think
41:00some of our pupils have anxiety around strangers
41:04Ofsted protocol is that no teaching staff is present
41:06don't worry sir your secret's safe with us
41:10yeah we won't tell them about you and Miss Chandra
41:13it's not just them
41:14they're all at it
41:15Mr. Casey and Mrs. Swift
41:17and Mr. Guffrey got Miss Walker pregnant
41:19if they're any good they'd be teaching somewhere better than here
41:22that says more about you than it does about them
41:24yeah well they need a medal for putting up with liars like you
41:27excuse me
41:29there's a lot of wrong-uns in this school
41:31pot kettle
41:32well yeah I am a wrong-un but that's how everyone's always treated me
41:35every other school I've been to
41:37they didn't give me a chance but there's actually some decent teachers here
41:39they're harsh but
41:41you can tell that they're bothered
41:43and you can talk to them about things and they do care
41:45yes well played great match girls great match
42:01good game Shola we've been missing you down at the club
42:04why don't you come down at the weekend starting midfield
42:07oh well I usually play defence so
42:10give it a try
42:12is Shola starting midfield at the weekend?
42:17maybe you should take a step back from the team for a bit
42:19get your head together
42:21but I thought I was the playmaker now
42:24you messed up
42:25try using this next time yeah
42:28hey everything alright?
42:30yes
42:32teenage girls and their drama
42:34do your head in sometimes don't they
42:42thank you for your honesty Forrest you should never have been put in that position
42:54have you completely lost your mind?
42:56me?
42:57you're the one who brought the inclusion unit into the Q&A
43:00a Q&A that was meant to be representative of this school
43:03when you set up the inclusion unit you talked about trusting young people
43:07now where is the trust in hiding away our more challenging students rather than giving them a voice
43:12I was just bending the rules the same as you playing the game
43:15no this isn't playing this is cheating
43:18do you have any idea how many good schools fail an inspection because of one stupid decision?
43:24I was doing it for the school
43:27no you did it for yourself Darius
43:29you bribed a student to make you look good

45:14yeah and

45:16but
45:17I can't really afford IB for it at the minute
45:19so
45:20so I thought that
45:21you know
45:22we could go camping
45:23yeah and I can make up for all the fun that you're missing out on
45:25I'm not missing out
45:28he's a bit naff
45:29right and it's
45:30all I can afford right now
45:31but it won't always be like this
45:33yeah one day
45:35I'll give you the life you deserve
45:37yeah we could have
45:38like a huge wedding
45:39yeah and a swanky villa in IB for the honeymoon
45:42I don't need any of that no
45:45I just
45:46want to be a family
45:47and you to promise me that you're never going to leave me for your hygienist
45:50what?
45:51I don't have a hygienist Stace
45:54you and me are
45:55are all I need
45:56I don't need a swanky villa or a big wedding
45:59I'd marry you in that tent
46:01I mean I think we could stretch for a registry office
46:04yeah well
46:06let's get the date booked
46:09really?
46:10Mia needs to know that she's got a proper family and
46:12I need to know that we've always got each other's backs
46:16I've got you s-
46:17yeah
46:18but
46:19if you think I'm staying in that tent
46:25I've got another thing coming
46:27what?
46:29it did not go unnoticed that you're using technicalities to hinder our inspection
46:38I'm not going to apologise for protecting my staff against stress and humiliation
46:44it's not our intention to humiliate anyone
46:47we're here to support schools
46:49I don't need your support
46:51I've been turning schools around since you were in nappies
46:54and that doesn't make you immune from scrutiny
46:56I'm sorry for yelling at you
47:10no you were right
47:12it was me on the app
47:14I knew it were you
47:16how could you Luca?
47:17is this your idea of a joke?
47:20no of course not
47:21everything I said in those messages was true
47:23about how much I liked you and how I can't stop thinking about you
47:30but then why?
47:31why pretend to be someone else?
47:36I was just pretending to be normal someone that you'd go out with
47:39I don't care about normal
47:41what kind of a person do you think I am?
47:43a hearing person
47:45so what?
47:46so we're different
47:47we live in two different worlds
47:48it's not that different
47:50I mean we're at the same school
47:51we're in the same classes
47:53we're the same friends
47:55no
47:57it's not the same
47:59look how you can chat with all your hearing friends
48:02and it's so easy and natural
48:04you don't even have to think about it
48:08and then look how we have to talk
48:12I've been learning some sign
48:14I've been trying really hard
48:16to make you feel included
48:17and I really appreciate that
48:20I do
48:22and I'm not saying this to offend you
48:24but it's a bit like baby talk
48:26and it's not enough for me
48:28and I'm sorry
48:30I need real communication
48:32I need connection
48:34you have that with your hearing friends
48:36and I have it with my deaf friends
48:38but Freddie we don't have that together
48:39we don't have that together
48:46right, so
48:48can we expect intervention?
48:50you'll be informed of our decision in due course
48:53whatever the outcome
48:55we'll be recommending changes
48:56Tonya
49:06Ton
49:08I'm sorry both
49:10about the cave
49:12of course you can hang out there
49:14okay, this is the part where you say sorry for shouting at me at my place of work
49:18and totally undermining my authority
49:20yeah, obviously, yeah
49:22Tonya was saying maybe we could get dinner
49:27he's got some mad idea that
49:29that we should all do something together
49:31yeah, that was my idea
49:33I just thought, you know, we could get some food, watch a movie
49:42hey!
49:44you were great today, I was buzzing watching you
49:46no, when the coach was talking about anger
49:48I thought
49:50maybe I could put all my energy on for this
49:51and maybe it stopped coming out in other ways, you know
49:53so, what do you think about my dad then?
49:54he's great, innit?
49:56yeah, yeah, he's great
49:58looks like he's winning everyone over after all, eh?
50:01yeah, that's it
50:02yeah, that's it
50:18I'm sorry
50:20about earlier
50:22I shouldn't have lost my temper
50:23no, it was my fault
50:25you know it's because I care about you, don't you?
50:28yeah, I know
50:30I don't go to these stupid rules
50:32honestly, the teacher would rather have got mugged on the way my mum got away
50:36I just
50:41don't want anything to jeopardise our friendship
50:45or get us in trouble
50:46or get us in trouble
50:48I'll be more careful
50:49promise
50:54you want this present then or what?
50:56erm, yeah
50:58close your eyes
51:07what?

51:22there's no need for that
51:24just try it on here
51:28I thought you wanted to make it up to me
51:29didn't go as badly as I thought
51:37Lisa didn't end up wearing Nicky's trousers like last time
51:42yeah
51:44to be fair, the inspector in my class cared about the kids' mental health
51:48well, not my mental health
51:50I've never crumbled like that before
51:52I'll get them
51:54thank you all for your efforts
51:56look, whatever the outcome
51:57I'm so proud of you all for pulling together
52:00same again
52:02give me a hand
52:04yeah
52:06how did it go with Serena and Michelle?
52:08well, we've had more genial exchanges
52:10I made a mistake thinking that today was about me
52:14what?
52:16it was about the kids and the staff
52:18I'm sorry I lost my temper earlier
52:20our failings are down to me, not you
52:23it's my fault for giving you too much responsibility
52:25you're clearly not ready for it yet
52:27you're clearly not ready for it yet
52:29well, it will be one day
52:31but until then
52:33I am going to resume
52:35the day to day control
52:41hey, what was all that about?
52:43she's
52:45er, taking away my extra responsibilities
52:47after everything I've done
52:49relax
52:50it just means you get paid the same
52:52but to do less work
52:54win-win in my book
52:56be happy
52:57be happy
52:58If Shola was right about you having a crush on me, I wouldn't mind.
53:28Because it's mutual.
53:33I really like you, Portia.
53:36You look amazing in that top.
53:43You look even better out of it.
53:49Hello?
53:53You can wait till I've gone, then you sneak out.
53:56Don't make a sound.
54:10Hello?
54:11Surprise!
54:13God, you idiots. I thought someone had broken in.
54:16What, broken in with pizza?
54:18Yeah, well, I'm not complaining.
54:20You said we should eat together, so...
54:23Well, I'm glad you changed your mind.
54:25Oh, listen to this, right. Mum is getting me a top kettle.
54:30Well, if you want the cave to be cosy, then you're gonna need to be able to make a brew, aren't you?
54:36And I'm gonna need a cold box for the milk, then I'll answer.
54:39Mm-hmm.
54:40You should come see it.
54:41Ah, yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.
54:42Help Tonya with the plans. Get it up to the standard that she deserves.
54:46Oh!
54:47Of course, if you wanted to, you can get me a karaoke machine as well.
54:52No, I'm all right with the kettle. Thanks.
54:54God loves a tryer, eh, Tom?
54:56HE LAUGHS
54:57What was that?
55:02It's just this whole club. Makes random noises.
55:07God's act.
55:12Anybody there?
55:25Door wasn't closed, that's all.
55:32Oh, it's cool, this, isn't it? This broken family bonding thing.
55:39How often do you see Preston?
55:40Oh, hardly ever.
55:41The trains are so expensive, that's why.
55:43We should go see him. This weekend.
55:45I thought he wasn't returning your calls.
55:47He texted me yesterday. Agreed to meet.
55:50Oh, I'd love to see Preston, Mum.
55:53Oh, Mum, please, come on.
55:56Do you have any idea the cost of London hotels?
55:59I'll book an Airbnb. Don't overthink it, Nick.
56:03Mum, right?
56:05You, me, Dad, Preston.
56:08It'll be fun.
56:10Don't worry.
56:13You look like Bob and eat inaring moments,
56:16and let the paper kick in,
56:17case of it open.
56:18We'll get you next time.
56:19Ah, boys.
56:20You look like priorities.
56:21We'll get down.
56:22To the opera.
56:23Mar
