00:50little gunpowder things gunpowder do you like listen i like explosives right why don't you get cracking
01:00it's 8 45 and year 11 musharaf has been called to mr mitchell's office to discuss a recent incident
01:06he was involved in musharaf has had a severe stammer since childhood
01:37what's it like getting through school with a stammer
01:52hard morning guy morning
01:55musharaf's speech has recently been getting worse
01:59he's had periods where it's been barely discernible but then whenever he suffers any form of setback
02:05that's transformed itself into barely being able to articulate his ideas and thoughts at all
02:10and that was something that we were confronted with
02:12you may remember at parents evening we sort of spoke to you and said you know if we can get
02:16a couple
02:16of perfect weeks out of you then you could have your prefect jumper back
02:22the difficult decision was taken to relieve musharaf of his prefect jumper
02:27because he did something stupid
02:29there was an altercation between a couple of students as a result a lot of posts were made
02:35on facebook and musharafs in particular was particularly offensive so we told him that we
02:41weren't happy for him to represent the school in any official capacity and his confidence was knocked
02:45massively the next day from that mr harsey and mr chowdhury both mentioned to me that you hadn't been
02:52great in their lessons his stammer got worse he practically turned into a selective mute
02:59and we looked at ourselves and thought do you know what we did that so we've got to get this
03:03kids self-esteem back up there and put things in place for him you took the knock of losing your
03:09prefect jumper and you've got better on the back of that and that needs to be recognized and needs
03:14to be commended okay so you keep going as you are doing you keep working hard jumper back photo done
03:21can go in your college application and there'll be a personal letter there from the headteacher
03:25how does that sound yeah is that good is that good then yes the thing that we really want for
03:32him more than anything else is for him to be able to leave here hold his head up high and
03:36say
03:37i've overcome a lot of challenges bye mushy
03:42nice laugh
03:48what was that girls gentlemen what was that holding the doll for you what was that pleasure
03:54my absolute pleasure one member of staff who has a close relationship with musharaf is his english
04:00teacher mr burton what we're gonna say an assistant head at 29 is known for getting results out of
04:07thornhill's hard to reach students so that's all i heard was the sound of my own footsteps as i
04:14began to walk briskly across the gravel when you actually start to think about korea maybe year 10
04:18year 11 at school i remember putting my choices in this uh this search engine thing and i think it
04:23turned out grave digger um doctor and something else useless sir i feel like i'm antarctic yeah i wish you
04:32were not that grave diggers and doctors are useless but i can't do with death and i can't do with
04:37injections
04:38so i thought teacher will have to do how you doing hey them stones go on rubbish rubbish rubbish
04:50yeah mr burton is beginning the day with his most challenging class
04:55there's that t h e r e which one does that mean there there is a
05:00horse in your lasagna sir their t h e i r is
05:06their lasagna contains horse these year 11 students are all at risk of missing out on their
05:11crucial c in english it's mr burton's task to make sure they succeed my first impressions really when
05:19i met the year 11 class was that they were a challenge so it's unit three the cd borderline that
05:26most reside upon is the difference between achieving a grade c at english gcse or achieving
05:31a grade d english gcse and a d is not a failure by any means but in society it's kind
05:37of wrongly
05:37dressed up as a failure so is hyperbole sarcasm i know hyperbole is going completely over the top
05:43if i've told you once i've told you a million times
05:47i'm going over the top we have the full range of different student abilities and so the challenge
05:52for anybody working in a school like this standing in front of a group of kids is that they could
05:56get
05:57absolutely any type of kid 10 minutes to get this finished please and we have to serve all of their
06:01needs and we have to do it to the same extent are you a clever student
06:08yeah sometimes i really don't understand some stuff but some stuff i do i know quite a few big
06:14words that most people wouldn't know like if they were 18. what big words do you know uh substantial
06:21stuff like that and uh perplexing i love school me how can you like school well i don't know i
06:28like it
06:29i hate it good for her you don't when you come to school in the morning what are you thinking
06:36about
06:40sleep food for me okay good people um we're gonna make a start we're gonna read the book we're doing
06:45a bit on gothic horror the genre today so what do i mean by the word genre um uh uh
06:50type yeah yeah the
06:53type good lads right brilliant i've taught mushraff since year seven his contribution is absolutely
06:58wonderful he he could be completely forgiven for not putting his hand up and for not wanting to
07:02communicate in any way shape or form but he doesn't and for five years he hasn't done what is it
07:07much
07:07tap it out uh 100 and uh yeah i think in his mind he's kind of expecting if he puts
07:16his hand up and
07:17bravely does this that in some kind of almost hollywood moment his stammer's just going to disappear like
07:23that 51 good lad well done 151. on top of his english lessons mr burton is giving mushraff extra
07:30help outside the class today he wants to talk to him about an important part of his english gcse
07:37the speaking exam he's 20 of your final english mark he's called an individual extended contribution
07:43for his gcse qualification there is an element where he'll have to perform a speech and he'll have to
07:48maybe answer some questions related to that speech and unfortunately if he can't speak anything
07:53coherently then it makes it very very difficult to give him any mark whatsoever you're an intelligent
07:58lad and you'll do well in the other parts of your course nice pleasure i want to make sure that
08:01you're
08:02going to get the marks that you deserve when we get into the controlled assessment just put everything
08:06into those every i is dotted every t is crossed every semicolon that you can use is in there
08:11and then we should be able to form a decent picture of how you're going to do
08:14i am concerned about mushraff his speech is probably at one of the lowest ebbs that we've
08:19seen and i think that's influenced a lot by the fact that his gcse exams are coming up discussions
08:25around college places and what you do next and all that stuff frank is an absolute pleasure
08:30must have absolute pleasure i think it certainly plays on his mind and will naturally make it worse
08:36we will have failed mushraff if he does not leave this school ready for the next stage a more articulate
08:42more confident and more well-rounded person
08:47what's the master plan
08:49what's the master plan
09:01okay
09:43It's Monday and the morning after Mr. Burton's 30th birthday.
09:52Hello. Hello. How are you doing?
09:54You all right, then, after your birthday, Mr. Burton?
09:56Did you continue celebrating yesterday?
09:58I had a little do at the Rudding Park.
10:01All the family were waiting there when I got there.
10:03God, oh, man. Very highbrow.
10:05I felt like I was in Downton.
10:06It was only your birthday. Is that why you got married, Rudding Park?
10:08Yes.
10:09She took me upstairs to this little room.
10:11I'm sure she did.
10:12Happy birthday to you.
10:14Woo-hoo!
10:15Right, onward.
10:21He's still seen as a young member of staff. He's now 30.
10:25He came into an English department, which was getting very poor results,
10:29and he put so much hard work into that department, as well as his own teaching,
10:34that within a year, the results had gone from inadequate to knocking on the door of outstanding.
10:40Oh, cool.
10:42I think your idea of what teaching is morphs and changes.
10:45I mean, it was a nightmare to start with, seven years ago.
10:49Your challenge as a newly qualified teacher, really, is to get through without being torn to pieces by a class.
10:56But once you've done that, your priorities change, and you kind of realise that there's an opportunity to carve a
11:01career out for yourself.
11:02Good morning.
11:03Do you have a good birthday?
11:0530 in it, but, yeah.
11:07I feel old.
11:08Nightmare.
11:09When somebody's gone through their career swiftly and built up a reputation for themselves.
11:15That's really cool.
11:16Cool.
11:17That lack of experience of having failed at something can weigh pretty heavily on your shoulders.
11:22You know, you put Matthew in front of a difficult, challenging class, he'll be having kittens inside, thinking,
11:29what happens if he doesn't work this time?
11:36The enthusiasm today is...
11:38It's up here.
11:38It really is.
11:40And it's the day after my 30th birthday, so I genuinely feel like getting a gun, okay?
11:44Put it there.
11:4530?
11:45Blowing my face off.
11:46Happy birthday.
11:48You're very kind.
11:48You thought I was 40?
11:49Get out of my sight.
11:50Ha-ha!
11:51Mr Burton's Year 11 class have only 10 weeks of teaching time remaining, but he's struggling
11:57to get them motivated.
11:58There's Section A and Section B. How many colours do you think you need?
12:03Three.
12:05Seven.
12:08You know when you're losing the will to live so much that you start...
12:12No, they throw it out.
12:15With Musharraf lacking in confidence, Mr Burton suggested he go to talk to his
12:20year-head, Mrs Crowther.
12:23Come in!
12:24There's got to be one of the elves that can't see over the door.
12:28There's someone who's scared.
12:33Oh, for goodness sake!
12:37It's me.
12:37Quick.
12:38Musharraf.
12:40What you predicted how many GCSEs is to see?
12:44Earth.
12:45Whoa!
12:46Yeah.
12:47Hey, if you'd have left, you wouldn't have got them.
12:49When he was in Year 7, I can remember him coming into our office and he found it tremendously
12:55difficult to speak.
12:57He was incredibly badly teased to the point where he wanted to move school.
13:01So we climbed down on that teasing straight away and we spoke to him and his family at length
13:07and put that off if you like.
13:10And he's just absolutely flourished.
13:13This school is just his safety net.
13:16Can you believe that you're leaving soon?
13:19I don't know what I'm nervous to do.
13:22I know.
13:24Are you nervous at all about going on to college?
13:33What is it that you're worried about?
13:46Whoever I had seen and heard rocking and who had passed by me just now, whoever had opened
13:50the locked door was not real.
13:53Whilst Musharraf is anxious about leaving Thornhill, elsewhere in Mr. Burton's class, others are
13:58less reluctant.
14:00I'll say this one's boring.
14:02For Hannah, it's her attitude that's putting her grades at risk.
14:07Hannah, you are not on the line to the FBI so you can put your little earpiece away.
14:11I am, go for it.
14:12You're not, because they wouldn't employ you.
14:14Why?
14:14You're a wonderful human being, but you have literally no common sense.
14:19I think the problem we've got with Hannah at the moment is that she's just disengaged.
14:23She's just decided that she's pretty much done with school.
14:26She could be achieving A's, but she's going to struggle to achieve C's at the moment.
14:32When you think about school, what comes into your head?
14:36Prison.
14:38Damn!
14:39It is.
14:40It's like prison.
14:42With exams just around the corner, most Year 11s are working harder than ever.
14:49But the school is struggling to even keep Hannah in a classroom.
15:04I found you $100,000, a new version of July, shall we?
15:09You won't be able to walk out now.
15:10Busted!
15:12I taught her in year seven, and she was your kind of typical year seven, bounding around
15:17saying, I want to be a lawyer, I want to be this, I want to be that.
15:19I'm all really shy. I'm just scared of every single teacher.
15:23So what changed?
15:25I don't know, I just grew up.
15:28I've got different mates.
15:31Hannah is now part of year 11's most noticeable group of girls.
15:35I don't mean to sound in a big edged way, but I think we are a popular group of people
15:39outweigh
15:40out of school. Everyone looks up to us and stuff.
15:43Yeah.
15:45You see quite a lot of kids, like Hannah, who find it more important to impress their
15:51friends than to work hard.
15:54And they see the opportunities of them gaining high grades slipping.
15:57Right, sit down properly, please, in your chairs.
16:04I think she plays the role of that stereotypical blonde, but I think if you make a deal of
16:10her being there and make a kind of, almost make a bit of a parody of her, it works as
16:14much as anything else, because at least she gets the acknowledgement that you know she's
16:18there and you like the fact that she's there.
16:20What is love?
16:23I don't know how to describe it.
16:25Oh, it's still beautiful, innit?
16:28You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
16:30But we keep trying and we keep trying and we keep trying and you do everything that you
16:34possibly can to kind of almost make the penny drop.
16:37And we hope on hope and hope and hope that it does.
16:49It's now midway through term.
16:53Year 11 are in their final weeks of school and are starting to make plans for moving
16:57on.
17:00To help ease his anxiety about leaving Thornhill, the school have arranged for Musharraf to meet
17:05a tutor from the college he's hoping to go to.
17:08Oh, cool, cool.
17:09All he really mainly needs to know is that there is going to be somebody there, like
17:14as kind to him as we have.
17:17Right, okay.
17:17And we've been able to look after him and he knows we don't put him under any pressure.
17:21When you get to know him, sometimes you'll, you know that you have to let him, you have
17:26to let him speak.
17:28And there are other times, you know, that you just, you haven't got time.
17:31I mean, we have a laugh and we just say, oh, I haven't got time to listen to you and
17:34I'm going to have to finish your words.
17:36But, erm, awesome.
17:38Hello.
17:39Musharraf, it was just a question of introducing you to Ben, just so that when the interviews
17:45come up, you feel a bit more...
17:48Calm.
17:49Yeah.
17:50Yeah.
17:50A bit more calm, a little bit more at ease and that Ben can give you a little bit of
17:54insight into, you know...
17:56Into Huddersfield.
17:58Mm, into Huddersfield.
18:00Everything about Huddersfield, not just the college, of course.
18:02Everything about Huddersfield.
18:03Well, I live in Huddersfield.
18:04Oh, okay.
18:05Where do you live?
18:06Where do you live?
18:07In...
18:13Uh...
18:16Uh...
18:17Uh...
18:18Uh...
18:19Uh...
18:19Uh...
18:19What's going on inside your head when the words don't come out?
18:21Uh...
18:25Uh...
18:28Uh...
18:29Uh...
18:31Uh...
18:32Uh...
18:33Someone's keeping my mouth closed?
18:35Uh...
18:36Uh...
18:38Uh...
18:39Uh...
18:40Uh...
18:41Uh...
18:50Uh...
18:51You live in Dewsbury?
18:52Yeah, yeah.
18:53I do.
18:54It's understandable that at the interview, you're gonna feel nervous.
18:58Because everybody does.
18:59Yeah.
18:59Okay?
19:00Yeah.
19:00Okay.
19:01But you've still got to try?
19:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:04You know, we're not having you getting lazy on us.
19:06No, no, no.
19:07Oh.
19:08Well, nice to meet you, Musharraf.
19:09Oh.
19:14Oh, come on.
19:17Got that word now.
19:18Come on, you know him now?
19:19Yeah.
19:22Come on.
19:24Uh...
19:24It was...
19:27It...
19:27Was...
19:28Nice to meet you, too.
19:30Great stuff.
19:31Well done.
19:32Oh, I feel like giving you a round of applause after that.
19:35Musharraf, just pass me some tissue.
19:37Oh!
19:38It don't take much.
19:39It don't take much.
19:40Damn!
19:41I'm gonna go now because I feel stupid.
19:44Okay.
19:47Surrounded by good ladies right there.
19:49It's just...
19:50I can only say working in this place is like extreme highs and lows.
19:54There's bloody nothing in between.
19:59What the hell, girl?
20:00What are you gonna do, too?
20:02Come on.
20:03You can't touch me.
20:06You can't touch me.
20:07Hey, hey, no.
20:08Emmys.
20:08We are doing a bit tough poetry.
20:10Oh, I hate poetry.
20:11Poetry's crap.
20:12It hurts.
20:12It's great.
20:13I hate poetry.
20:14Exactly what I used to say.
20:16I can't even speak.
20:16Okay, good people.
20:17The more we talk, the more I can't get through the stuff, and the more you will fail spectacularly.
20:22Right, sir.
20:24At life.
20:25Not just English.
20:26At life.
20:27The old lie.
20:28Dulce e decorum est pro patria mori.
20:30It is sweet and right to die for your country.
20:32What point is the poet making about war, do you think, Mushy?
20:36Um...
20:36It's a...
20:39Bad.
20:40It's a...
20:42It's a...
20:43Bad place to...
20:44Bad place to be.
20:46Spot on.
20:47Yeah.
20:48Mushy and I see you just after the lesson for a minute.
20:51What's that?
20:52For Mushyraf to get into college, he's got to get a C in English.
20:56His speaking exam is in two weeks' time.
20:59If you can jot a few notes down.
21:00Yeah, speech.
21:01Yep.
21:03Which seems to be absolutely fine when you say the word speech.
21:06Speech.
21:07Yeah.
21:07The irony there, eh?
21:09Just jot a few notes down, or half a side or something like that.
21:12That you can read out tomorrow, and we'll try a few different techniques.
21:15All right?
21:15Yeah.
21:16Good lad.
21:17Sorry.
21:17See you later.
21:18It is ridiculous, because it's 20% of his grade that he will struggle to even access.
21:23It's Matthew Burton from Thornhill.
21:25Big time.
21:26Hello.
21:26How are you?
21:27I'm all right, thank you.
21:28I think what we have to do is we have to speak to people he's been working with in the
21:31past, and liaise with his speech therapist.
21:33Do our own little bits of research, really.
21:34If you ask him to speak, and it's a bit noisy in the background, that's going to be easier
21:38for him.
21:39Yeah.
21:39Than if it's completely silent.
21:41Yeah.
21:42Yeah.
21:43He's a great teacher, and he is those kind of teachers who are a student in time of need.
21:59He's a kid.
22:02At the end of the day, we can't speak for him.
22:05I've never taught a stammer as severe as Mushraf.
22:10But we'll have to get through it.
22:12At the moment, I'm not sure how we can.
22:21I had a few kids in our class that had stammers, too.
22:25Hands up who feels that that paper could be their friend.
22:28Eventually.
22:29Today, you've just been getting to know it, all right?
22:32By June, you'll be taken out for dinner.
22:35It's exam season at Thornhill.
22:37Year 11 are about to take their final GCSEs.
22:41How are you feeling about tomorrow, girls?
22:43I don't...
22:44I'm scared of failing.
22:45What is a fact?
22:48Oh, something that's true.
22:50Why would you use facts in an article?
22:52Because you can prove it.
22:53And persuade.
22:54If we're writing to persuade, what do we use?
22:57Opinions, emotive language, rhetorical questions and stories and anecdotes.
23:03Cool!
23:04Is this a classroom or is this a corridor?
23:06It's a corridor, sir, correct!
23:09If you've been saving up your best spellings and your sexy punctuation, when do you use that?
23:13No.
23:15Your sexy punctuation out your backpack, you put your semicolon down on the desk and you say,
23:19right, we've come to party, it's semicolon time.
23:23Party!
23:24We are kind of coming to the end point now.
23:26With a CD borderline group, it's more of a siege mentality and a Churchillian spirit needs to be adopted.
23:33You need to bang out a rhythm of what needs to be done in the exam.
23:36You need to remember to punctuate things, you need to remember paragraphs.
23:39And if you want to go through Coldplay your head all the way through that bit.
23:44Parapara!
23:44Parapara!
23:46Graphs?
23:46No, graphs.
23:47It's like a crushing weight on the shoulders.
23:50You're a very bright boy and you can do well.
23:53If you don't do well this time, which you will, you'll do well next time.
23:56If you don't do well next time, then we'll humanely destroy you before results come out so you don't count
24:00towards our figures.
24:01Okay?
24:05You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye who cheer when soldier lads march by.
24:11Musharraf, have you got something to say?
24:12Yeah, yes.
24:13One sec, we'll come see you next, Jase.
24:15As the class prepare to go after their crucial C grades, Musharraf could still fail at the first hurdle.
24:22Take time.
24:22It's trying to say that you don't understand.
24:30Absolutely.
24:30His speaking exam is fast approaching.
24:33He will have to make a ten minute speech about a subject of his choice.
24:38The thing is, when you're doing stuff like this, you just have to think, what do I know most about?
24:43Mr Burton has asked teaching assistant Miss Lee to run extra practice sessions in a final effort to build his
24:49confidence.
24:51I'll just try.
24:53Try.
25:11I quite deliberately didn't stare at him, and then occasionally I would look at him and encourage him a bit.
25:17He just gets coded.
25:18I think because he was thinking about what he wanted to say, he couldn't make himself do it.
25:22Yeah.
25:23If it's just chunks of words and little kind of stems of words,
25:27and so it's very difficult to mark that.
25:29Oh, hello, Miss, how you doing?
25:30I'm all right, Miss, come in.
25:33That's where we are.
25:34It's a bit of a difficult situation to be in, really.
25:37We're a little bit stumped.
25:39So what are you up to?
25:41I think I'm going to start with that exam.
25:45Why?
25:46I don't know.
25:46I don't know, because I keep, I keep, I keep on thinking that I'm going to fail, you know?
26:00Right.
26:01Stop thinking that you're going to fail.
26:03Negative.
26:04Sit down.
26:06If you go into that exam knowing that you've done all the work you possibly can do,
26:12then nobody can ask any more of you, Musharraf, can there?
26:17So don't be too hard on yourself, Musharraf.
26:20Right?
26:21Yes, ma'am.
26:22You need to start believing in yourself a little bit more.
26:27Don't you?
26:28No, I do not.
26:28That you can do it.
26:30Because you can.
26:39I lean on me, sir.
26:41Miss, I have a reason for why I'm late.
26:43Yeah.
26:45I got chased by lions.
26:47LAUGHTER
26:48With just weeks left at school, Hannah is still more interested in having fun than focusing
26:54on her future.
26:55I want to calm down, me.
26:57Roofball.
26:58I'd rather have my mates than be proper brainy and hang around with other people.
27:03Definitely.
27:04I wouldn't change my mates for a bigger brain.
27:08I've got an email saying Hannah has walked out of science.
27:11And I've had more complaints about her than any other child.
27:14Damn.
27:14I think if she'd surrounded herself with different people, it could have been a different story
27:18for Hannah completely.
27:19But the irony is that the pennies dropped for the kids who Hannah was trying to impress.
27:25Hannah!
27:26Oh, I don't want to do all this exam, mate.
27:28Same.
27:29I'm proper going to fail.
27:30When it did get to stage where all his exams were coming up and it was serious, then I
27:35did want to get me a dancer.
27:36I don't want to fail or I don't want to do well in life.
27:39Right then, children.
27:41In a way, Hannah didn't really get that into her head.
27:45When you first started school, you were some proper brainy, didn't you?
27:48Like, you were just getting your head down with everything.
27:50Yeah, but, like, she's a two-born idol.
27:52Oh, yeah, I've got, like, this little Mickey Mouse character on this side and then this devil
27:56on this side.
27:57Good one's like, do you work, devil?
27:58I was like, fuck off.
28:01We didn't want to see him bossy.
28:02We just wanted to be there for her.
28:04And even though it might have come across bossy to her, I think she appreciates that we've
28:08told her now.
28:10And now you're going to start being a good girl.
28:13I'll be a good girl, Shaz.
28:15Step it up, girl.
28:16Come on.
28:19Allah.
28:19Come on.
28:22It's the week of Musharraf's speaking exam and Mr. Burton is giving him a final coaching
28:28session.
28:30So, the fact that you wrote, so how am I going to do the speaking exam?
28:34I can't even speak.
28:35It tells us that we've got, we've got one or two roadblocks in the way, haven't we, really?
28:39It's his last chance to get Musharraf speaking fluidly.
28:43If I give you something to read out.
28:45Oh, yeah.
28:46We're not that interested in what you're saying at the moment, are you?
28:48It's just kind of the mechanics of putting it together.
28:50Yeah, yeah.
28:51Shall we go for that poem there, the moment.
28:57Okay.
28:58Yes, sir.
28:58Okay.
28:58I am your audience.
29:00Tap it out as much as you need.
29:01Sing it if you need to.
29:03Yeah.
29:03Yeah?
29:04Yeah.
29:04I'll...
29:05Do you want me to face you or turn away from you?
29:08Oh.
29:09Face you?
29:10Oh, yeah.
29:11Okay.
29:11Yeah.
29:12Right.
29:13Okay.
29:14Breath, nice and loud, nice and proud.
29:27Um...
29:33Can we...
29:33Right, one thing, and it's only because I watched the King's speech quite recently, all right?
29:36Okay.
29:36One thing he does, right, when the...
29:38Because it's a very similar thing to you, in that you just can't get the words out.
29:42But one thing he does do, is he makes him listen to some music, right?
29:45And then when he's listening to the music, gets him to do it again.
29:47Okay.
29:48So, have you got your phone with you?
29:49Yeah.
29:50Right, plug it into mine, I'll put you some awful music on.
29:52Oh, yeah.
29:53Sure.
29:55Right, you ready?
29:56Yeah, yeah, that's it.
29:59There?
30:00Okay, that's right.
30:00Go for it.
30:01One, two, three.
30:03The moment when after many years of hard work and a long...
30:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
30:10A long...
30:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
30:14Your yard.
30:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
30:21That...
30:21Is it too loud?
30:22Loud.
30:23Oh, oh, oh, oh...
30:25That I own this.
30:27It's the same moment when the trees and loose.
30:31They're so we go from around you the birds take back their language the cliff
30:38Fisher the eclipse of Asia on collapse the air moves back from you like a wave and you can't breathe
30:47What pause pause pause no that I'm trying to cry no there is but you you own
30:53Nothing you were a visitor time after time
30:58climbing the hill
31:00planting the flag
31:02Proclaiming we never belong to you. You never found us. It was always the other way round
31:11Body out. Yes, that feels low. Yeah, do you feel confident? Yeah, that's one but can I get miss Lee?
31:19No, you say that
31:21Good luck
31:23It's that movie hardball with the kid with my name is
31:27I'm going through the pitch you could pay for you. It's extraordinary, right? You ready? I was good. Yeah
31:34When the trees are loose they soft on from around you the birds take back their language
31:40The cliffhanger and collapse the air moves back from you like a wave and you can't breathe you never found
31:48us
31:48It was always the other way around
31:53What an unbelievable thing that is
31:54What must be one of the first things in your life actually as well
31:57For the first time
31:58I genuinely didn't think it would work
32:00But amazingly it did
32:03Bloody hell
32:04How did it feel to be speaking fluently?
32:16You go
32:22Hi there shit
32:23Come on. Let's bo on. Well done. No sir
32:25Ta dah
32:26Cheers, was she
32:27I'll see you in a bit
32:30Got some one our flippin'
32:32Snear that?
32:33You may have spoke
32:36Sounded good right there, too.
32:37I feel better. Speech therapy.
32:39I prefer the Mushraff whisperer.
32:43The elation of the moment was wonderful,
32:45but just because he can put some earphones on
32:47and he can speak quite fluently
32:48doesn't mean that he's going to go on and get an A-star grade.
32:53He has still this exam to do.
32:56One step at a time. All you can do.
33:02Ties on, please, voice.
33:05Chloe, it's a well-known fact that 97% of all students
33:07who don't wear a tie properly fail an exam.
33:09Damn, no one that failed, man.
33:11Average control assessments.
33:13There's nothing that I'm overly upset, concerned or worried about.
33:16Mr Burton's class are down to their final few lessons
33:19and Hannah's attitude has started to improve.
33:22We know what you're saying with the war.
33:23Which war is it? Do we know?
33:25World War I.
33:26World War I. Good last time. Do you know that?
33:28Yeah? Well done. It's very good.
33:30Doing the war.
33:31So don't you think it'd be proper weird if you woke up
33:33and your life were just a dream?
33:34I think that would be weird, yeah.
33:36But I also think you're weird for thinking about it.
33:39Has it happened to you before?
33:41No.
33:42But I'd be sick of that.
33:42If you woke up and your life were a dream,
33:44you'd be like, yes, I've got, like, my life back.
33:47Why do you not have your life at the moment?
33:50No, it's...
33:51Could I really live, yeah?
33:56She's been taught the right stuff and she knows the stuff
33:58and she can put it down on paper when she wants to.
34:02Fingers crossed we'll get there.
34:06As Hannah starts to show signs of improvement,
34:09Mr. Burton turns his attention elsewhere.
34:12Right there. I wonder where you are.
34:15Musharraf's speaking exam is imminent.
34:18And remember, this is just like a, you know, practice...
34:20All right?
34:23That's allowed.
34:24Oh, yeah, so that's a bit odd.
34:26There?
34:27Yeah, yeah, that's right.
34:28I'm just a casual observer, just watching, just listening.
34:30All right?
34:31OK.
34:32He's chosen to talk about his stammer.
34:35OK.
34:36OK, now start.
34:38This is my stutter.
34:40I have had this problem since the age of five.
34:43I find it sometimes hard to speak,
34:46but if I stay calm,
34:49then the words...
34:52then the words come out of themselves.
34:56The speaking exam for Musharraf is incredibly stressful.
34:59It's the part that he's been worrying about
35:01for year on year on year.
35:04When I get nervous,
35:06I need to stay calm at all times.
35:10So the only people in there are a colleague,
35:13so a couple of teachers, Musharraf,
35:15and, I mean, you're not allowed in there.
35:16Nobody else is allowed in there,
35:17purely so that he can do his very best.
35:20Ready?
35:21Let's go.
35:22Let's do it.
35:27Nervy?
35:28Yeah.
35:30It is an assessment,
35:31but we need to chill out, deep breaths.
35:33Yep.
35:33Do your very, very best, OK?
35:43All right.
35:44Good luck.
35:50Musharraf has completed his speaking exam.
35:53I bet you didn't think you could have done that three weeks ago.
35:55Yeah.
35:56I'm very proud of yourself.
35:58You ought to be.
35:58Oh, sir.
36:03Come on.
36:04It's fine.
36:04Sir, I appreciate all of the help you are giving me.
36:14And I appreciate the help you're giving yourself.
36:17It's super.
36:17Really impressed with you.
36:18Really proud of you.
36:19Yeah, yes, sir.
36:19Keep it up when you'll be...
36:21Yeah, yeah.
36:21You'll be an opera singer by the end of the year.
36:23Good luck.
36:30With just weeks to go until her final exams,
36:33Hannah is beginning to seriously consider life beyond Thornhill.
36:37I've got a word with you now.
36:41You all right?
36:42There's nothing bad.
36:42I just wanted to chat about college applications.
36:45I have applied.
36:46Right, where have you applied?
36:48Er, Huddersfield Tech.
36:49Right.
36:50To do hair and beauty, or is it just kind of beauty?
36:52Just beauty.
36:53Right.
36:53No, it's really good.
36:55You really enjoy college when you get there,
36:57because you get to specialise.
36:58People are more mature.
37:00I just really wanted to check that you had got something sorted by Friday.
37:02Hang on, hang on.
37:04What are we...
37:05She's doing A-levels in further maths, biology, physics and chemistry.
37:09And English, obviously.
37:10I don't think that's the case.
37:12We're looking at level two health and beauty.
37:14Health and beauty.
37:15I didn't say health and beauty.
37:16Level two beauty.
37:17No, it's just beauty.
37:18Right.
37:19The main thing is that you're doing something.
37:21Okay?
37:22And for that,
37:23I send you to the army.
37:25I'm allowed.
37:26So I'd get shot on first.
37:28I'd like...
37:29No, get to college then.
37:30You'd wander over the front line and then go...
37:33You'd just be barbing around.
37:35I thought this one were a mess about.
37:38Yeah.
37:38She'd be wandering around Afghanistan looking confused.
37:41Well done, I think.
37:42See you later.
37:43See you.
37:44Yeah.
37:47Can we not discuss waxing of eyebrows, please?
37:52My nose waxed somewhere.
37:55Give me a favour.
37:57Type and talk.
37:57Type and talk.
37:58But Liz, I...
37:59But what?
38:00I'm not good at typing.
38:02I'm good at talking.
38:03I know you're good at talking,
38:04but talking ain't gonna get your English right done, is it?
38:08I'm not offended, actually, because it's true.
38:14I know.
38:14Musharraf has been called to Mr. Mitchell's office.
38:16Hi, Musharraf.
38:17Have a seat.
38:17Have a seat.
38:18You all right?
38:19He's due to find out whether or not he'll be given back his prefect's jumper.
38:24I know how much it hurt you when the jumper was taken off you.
38:27Yeah.
38:28I think the fact that you lost it, I think, is as much a lesson...
38:30Yeah, yeah.
38:31..as you get it back, because it teaches you a couple of things.
38:34The first being that it's important to treat people how you'd want to be treated
38:37and to think about things you say before you say it.
38:41And the second one is that hard work and doing the right things is recognised.
38:47OK.
38:48We have decided that we are going to give you your jumper back.
38:51Oh, OK.
38:53Because we want you to finish your time here as a prefect
38:55and not just as another student in year 11.
38:59You happy with it?
39:00No, no, no.
39:01Do you know what?
39:01Get that manky blue one off.
39:05There you go.
39:11How does that feel?
39:13It feels good.
39:15Feels good?
39:17Excellent.
39:18Three, five.
39:18Welcome back on board.
39:20See you, Moshi.
39:21Oh, I'll let them see.
39:26Oh, bless.
39:27Oh, I'll let them see.
39:31He's somebody who arrived with a bad stammer and with not a hell of a lot of friends.
39:36And he's left as a popular lad who people really look up to and think a lot of
39:40because of the challenges that he's overcome.
39:42Congratulations, lad.
39:44Congratulations.
39:45He's a lad who's got some real emotional intelligence and some real integrity.
39:48And he's somebody who kids look up to, which says a lot
39:50because kids can be quite cutting and quite biting and not particularly nice at times.
39:56And the fact that he's got as much respect for people as he has, I think, says a lot about
39:59him.
40:04Words of weapons, ladies and gents.
40:09Good morning, Year 11.
40:11Good morning, Mr. Byrond.
40:13Good morning, everyone.
40:16It's May, and for the Year 11s, it's their final day in school.
40:20Ali, Jack, Cameron, Musharraf.
40:23Yes, sir.
40:24Hannah.
40:25Good morning, sir.
40:26Good morning, Hannah.
40:27Right, OK.
40:28Just a reminder, no room drawings.
40:31Be respectful.
40:32Have a lovely few last lessons.
40:33Put your chairs under, please.
40:35See you later.
40:38Right, for the very last time, please, Year 11,
40:41will you get yourself into assembly order, please?
40:53All right, rubble.
40:55Uh-oh.
40:55Settle down.
40:59You look a mess.
41:01You really do.
41:04But to be honest, it's a nice mess.
41:06All right, so I don't mind today, and I don't think any of us mind today,
41:10irrespective of your academic results come the summer,
41:13they are important, but more importantly,
41:16I just want you to be happy.
41:18That's all I want.
41:19And that's all anybody else around the room wants,
41:22for you to be happy.
41:23And I'm getting emotional now, so I'm going to stop.
41:32There was one of you sitting here that actually hated it in Year 7,
41:38because, unfortunately, some people bullied him.
41:43And he wanted to leave.
41:44And in Year 7, he had an attendance of about 34%,
41:49because he didn't have a voice then.
41:51And he's got on now.
41:56So, Musheraf, where are you?
41:58Oh!
42:00APPLAUSE
42:04APPLAUSE
42:08This is ticking a lot, but he wanted to show
42:12just what we've and you've done for him.
42:15Oh, damn.
42:17Ha-ha!
42:18Good luck.
42:24Come on.
42:26I want to thank you today for letting me speak
42:31in front of all of you.
42:34I want to especially thank Mr. Burton
42:38for helping me overcome my summer.
42:44The school has helped me improve so much
42:46that I do not have enough words to tell you all how.
42:52I really am going to miss the school,
42:54the teachers, the students,
42:57and just the whole high school environment.
43:03It's good.
43:06I don't have a dream to work at a call centre
43:09or else I would be fired the same day.
43:14LAUGHTER
43:14LAUGHTER
43:15I really want to thank you all for listening,
43:18and I hope the best for all of you,
43:22to all my fellow students and teachers.
43:28APPLAUSE
43:39If you don't know how proud I am,
43:41that you're right now, well done.
43:49MUSIC PLAYS
44:01Nice, OK.
44:06Studied media.
44:10Push. Push.
44:12Yeah, good stuff.
44:15Whatever it is, you do your best,
44:18and that's all you can do.
44:25Got it.
44:26Oh, yes.
44:31Relationships are absolutely crucial
44:33for a school to be successful.
44:35And that might be relationships
44:36between staff and students,
44:38but it can also be between the school itself
44:40and the community which it serves.
44:43And I think we're blessed here
44:44that staff and students
44:47do have very positive relationships.
44:49You know, you wouldn't see staff
44:50bending over backwards
44:51to try and help students as much as they do
44:54if there wasn't that strength of relationship.
44:55If those staff didn't see just that glint
44:58of something in every student's eye
45:00that thinks you're worthwhile.
45:05And I think, slowly but surely,
45:07I think the kids here now believe that.
45:10And if students are going to go out of here
45:12and be successful in life,
45:15however you measure success,
45:18I think that's been bred here.
45:20And that makes me absolutely proud.
45:25All right, ladies and gentlemen,
45:27that one is done.
45:29We're going to talk about it.
45:30Don't go anywhere.
45:32I hope you enjoyed this episode.
45:33There's always more to come,
45:34but you have to stay tuned for that.
45:36Ladies and gentlemen,
45:38number one,
45:38I hope that you enjoyed this episode.
45:40I'm sure there's someone out there
45:42where, you know,
45:44you might need a little tissue
45:45because, yeah,
45:46this one was a very powerful episode
45:50from start to finish
45:52and definitely,
45:53probably the most different
45:54out of all the episodes
45:56as far as, you know,
45:57this kid had to go,
45:58come a long way.
46:00And if he's had a stammer
46:01since five,
46:03you know,
46:03this kid,
46:04obviously,
46:05you know,
46:05whatever age he is now,
46:06probably,
46:07you know,
46:08I don't know,
46:09I don't know,
46:09seven,
46:09eight,
46:10what is it,
46:10like 14 or some shit,
46:1214,
46:1216.
46:12So probably,
46:13let's say,
46:13let's say like nine,
46:1510 years struggling
46:16with that stuff.
46:17And to,
46:17to have that,
46:18where you got,
46:20shout out to Mr. Burton,
46:22you know what I mean?
46:23Stuck with him,
46:24encouraged him,
46:25found kind of a solution
46:26to help him out
46:27in his struggles.
46:29And you know what?
46:30The power of music
46:31goes a long way,
46:32you know?
46:33He was definitely flowing
46:34on that poetry right there.
46:36He actually made it
46:37more interesting to me
46:39because,
46:40you know,
46:40I got into
46:43the free writing
46:44and the spoken word
46:47and more so than the poetry,
46:49even though very similar
46:50to it and stuff,
46:51but the flowing there
46:53was there.
46:54So that music kind of
46:55propelled him a little bit
46:56and it reminded me
46:57of the movie
46:57that I watched
46:59a long time ago
47:00when it first came out
47:01or not long ago
47:02from when it had came out
47:04with Keanu Reeves
47:06in Hardball
47:07and there was a kid,
47:08you know,
47:08he took the kids
47:10from the hood essentially
47:11and, you know,
47:12got this baseball team going
47:14and there was one kid there
47:16that he was into,
47:18he would be a better pitcher
47:21when he had the music.
47:23He was listening to,
47:24you know,
47:24I love it when you call me
47:25Big Pop,
47:26but, you know,
47:27you know,
47:27Notorious B-I-G
47:31and, you know,
47:32it kind of reminded me
47:33of that,
47:33you know,
47:34obviously not the same stuff,
47:35you know,
47:35but it,
47:36music, you know,
47:37has a way of kind of
47:39settling down the nerves,
47:41relaxing us a little bit,
47:42putting us in kind of a chill,
47:44maybe a good mood.
47:45You know,
47:46again,
47:46there's all types of music,
47:48all different types of genres
47:49of music
47:49and, you know,
47:50happy, sad,
47:51you know,
47:52jolly,
47:52whatever,
47:54you know,
47:54heartbreaking shit.
47:55So this,
47:56you know,
47:56I feel like there's something
47:57for everyone,
47:58but, you know,
47:59these teachers,
48:00all of them,
48:01you know,
48:01the ones breaking down,
48:02you know,
48:02the ladies,
48:03you know,
48:03my boy,
48:04Mr. Burton here,
48:05Mr. Mitchell,
48:05all these,
48:06you just see the passion
48:08and it's nice to hear.
48:09It was a good speech
48:10about Mr. Mitchell.
48:12You know,
48:13like if there's a glimmer,
48:14they see something,
48:15you know,
48:16I do feel like educators
48:17will see something
48:18and some will give up,
48:20you know what I mean?
48:21But like,
48:21I can't speak about
48:23how the teachers are now,
48:26but,
48:26you know,
48:27when I see this,
48:28man,
48:29it brings hope to me
48:30where like,
48:31I'm like,
48:32man,
48:32I really do hope
48:33that there's a lot of people
48:34out there all over the world
48:35wherever the teaching goes
48:38that are on this kind of level here
48:40because again,
48:41we're seeing just a small dose,
48:42a small glimpse
48:43of the hard work
48:43that's going,
48:44you know,
48:45year round,
48:46but it's beautiful to see.
48:48So I think this is one
48:49of the more powerful episodes
48:51for it
48:52and I think that
48:54we're going to have that
48:55as the code word
48:56powerful on this episode,
48:58man,
48:58because again,
48:59you,
49:01you're going to get
49:02kids are ruthless.
49:04And I think now
49:05probably we're all
49:06going to say,
49:07but I feel like
49:07it's getting even worse
49:08now,
49:09man.
49:09And the amount
49:12of probably bullying
49:13that,
49:14well,
49:14people making fun of him
49:16most likely
49:17during those moments,
49:18you know,
49:18him stammering and stuff,
49:20you know,
49:20obviously we've seen comedy
49:21where we're joking on it,
49:22you know,
49:23like,
49:24Granville,
49:24fetch your cloth,
49:26you know,
49:26like,
49:26you know,
49:27but in a school system,
49:29kids are ruthless,
49:30man,
49:30words of weapons.
49:31And it is something
49:34very difficult,
49:35you know,
49:36you see a lot of people
49:39be absolutely brutal.
49:41And I've seen,
49:42you know,
49:42in my own school,
49:43you know,
49:44you know,
49:45words are weapons,
49:45words are very powerful.
49:47Again,
49:47that's why that's the
49:47code word today.
49:49And yeah,
49:51you get,
49:51it's self-esteem
49:52had to be shit,
49:53you know,
49:53it had to be
49:55down to its lowest,
49:56you know what I mean?
49:58And you saw that
49:58his friends
49:59and some of the other kids,
50:00the school was really cool.
50:02You know,
50:03that was,
50:03that was breaking our heart
50:04a little bit there.
50:05You couldn't help
50:06but be like,
50:07dang,
50:07wow,
50:08this is some crazy ass shit.
50:10So I feel like
50:11this is the probably
50:12the one that may
50:13tug on the hard strings
50:15and stuff
50:15because of the,
50:16with the stammer
50:17and,
50:18and him coming a long way,
50:20obviously in a,
50:20you know,
50:21short time for us,
50:22you know,
50:22we're sitting here
50:22with 40,
50:2350 minutes,
50:23whatever it is,
50:25but it's some crazy stuff.
50:26So,
50:27you know,
50:27it just really shows
50:30that there are
50:30some good people out there,
50:31some good teachers out there.
50:33And I still hope to this day,
50:34you know what I mean?
50:35That they're,
50:36they're still out there.
50:38You know,
50:38hopefully some of these
50:39are still,
50:40you know,
50:40still going,
50:41you know,
50:41because for example,
50:43Mr. Burton
50:44was 30 and that stuff,
50:46you know,
50:46might,
50:46might be,
50:47well,
50:47he might be in his
50:50fifties now
50:50and some shit like that.
50:51Hopefully he's still rocking with it.
50:52He's still educating and stuff.
50:54You know,
50:55you guys can fill me in there
50:56if you want,
50:56but yeah,
50:57I just very much enjoyed the episode.
51:00Definitely was different
51:01and unique and stuff.
51:03And again,
51:03I'm not going to lie.
51:04When I thought,
51:05when I was hearing the stammer
51:05for a second,
51:06a small glimpse of Mr.
51:08Arkwright popped up in my head,
51:09man.
51:10And not,
51:10not in a funny,
51:11making fun of him moment,
51:13but like,
51:13because that was,
51:14you know,
51:15besides my school,
51:16I did,
51:16I think I had one or two kids.
51:18Yeah.
51:19That they needed a little bit more help.
51:20Again,
51:21I wasn't that great of a,
51:23I wasn't no scholar.
51:25I struggled in speech,
51:26my damn self.
51:27And shit,
51:28still to this day,
51:30you know,
51:30maybe this is why I do this thing.
51:32So let's keep working on it.
51:33Again,
51:33I don't edit when I mess up like that,
51:35but,
51:36you know,
51:37I'll be making up words,
51:38you know,
51:38but yeah,
51:40I mean,
51:41like it,
51:42it's bringing me back
51:43as weird as this is.
51:45And,
51:46you know,
51:46for,
51:46for all the friendships
51:47that I had made along the way,
51:49you lose touch a little bit,
51:51but I hope that most of the ones
51:53that I made,
51:53they're doing okay out there.
51:55And,
51:55and that's something that it's,
51:57you know,
51:57brings a smile.
51:58cause there was some really good memories
52:00the same way they like,
52:01they were writing on the shirts.
52:04You know,
52:04you made some good connections.
52:05You would write in the year books.
52:08You're writing like,
52:09kind of like an autograph,
52:10kind of like book there.
52:11And you'll write little notes.
52:12And I still got them.
52:13I still got the,
52:15the year books that I had
52:16from my middle school,
52:17from my high school,
52:19somewhere banging around.
52:20I have like,
52:21I guess I would still have
52:22the high school rings that I got,
52:24the middle school ring.
52:26But yeah,
52:27there was a lot of cool notes and stuff.
52:29Some funny shit.
52:30I was definitely getting picked on a little bit,
52:32some moments and stuff,
52:33especially with my height,
52:34you know,
52:34I can't do anything about that.
52:36And I can understand and relate
52:38to a lot of the kids here that,
52:39you know,
52:40they may have got picked on a little bit.
52:41I had a little bit tougher skin
52:43and I could fight back
52:44and I will clap back a little bit too.
52:46I was not,
52:47you know,
52:48I was never,
52:48ever a saint.
52:49And I did like what Hannah was talking about.
52:51The good,
52:51good one and the bad one,
52:52like fuck off.
52:54You know,
52:54so it is cool.
52:57Great show.
52:59It's inspiring,
53:00downright inspiring.
53:01And when you start seeing them,
53:02teachers start breaking down a little bit,
53:04man,
53:04part of you is probably breaking down
53:06and you can let me know,
53:07you know,
53:09but it takes a lot,
53:11but it was,
53:12it's some powerful ass shit.
53:13So anyways,
53:14I don't want to keep yapping.

53:44besides what we're doing right now.
53:45We definitely do a lot of comedy stuff here.
53:47So we kind of branched out a little bit
53:49into something new that,
53:51you know,
53:51I kind of enjoyed,
53:52you know,
53:54but when we did Lads Army,
53:56you know,
53:59the Ladettes to Ladies ones
54:01was one I really enjoyed as well.

54:14I thought the speech was good.
54:16It definitely had a little humor to it.
54:19And yeah,
54:20I mean,
54:20hey,
54:20if you also watch that movie Hardball,
54:22let me know in the comments down below.
54:23It's a movie I enjoyed back in the day.
54:25It had a great soundtrack to it.
54:27And I grew up listening to B.I.G.
54:30and a lot of Tupac back in the day,
54:34especially in the 90s.
54:35You know,
54:35hip hop was,
54:36for me,
54:37at least supreme.
54:38I didn't listen to,
54:40you would not find me listening to
54:42any of the music
54:44that we've reacted to
54:46on the channel back in that day.
54:48There was nothing touching for me.
54:50The hip hop and R&B,
54:52that was the zone.
54:53You know,
54:54sprinkle a little bit of pop here.
54:55This may not be popular,
54:58but like some of the,
54:59like boy band,
55:01girl stuff,
55:02like,
55:02you know,
55:03I don't know,
55:03like it could be Destiny's Child.
55:05They listened to some NSYNC.
55:06We had some girls in the class,
55:08man.
55:08High school that we blasted that shit.
55:10So,
55:10that shit was catchy back in the day.
55:13So,
55:13a little bye,
55:13bye,
55:13bye action.
55:14You know,
55:15it never got me any cool points and stuff.
55:17But,
55:18you know,
55:18I dabbled in that type of stuff
55:19because the boy band stuff
55:21was huge
55:21and
55:23during the
55:24106 and Park era,
55:26the TRL stuff,
55:28yeah,
55:29I used to pass by it
55:30a lot of the MTV.
55:31You could see them being recorded,
55:33you know,
55:33in Times Square.
55:34You know,
55:35so,
55:35I always loved music
55:37and
55:39at least I'm glad
55:40and fortunate
55:41that you guys have suggested,
55:42you know,
55:43and
55:44it has allowed me to hear things
55:45that I would not have
55:47ever,
55:48you know,
55:48branched out.
55:49Like,
55:49I never would have thought,
55:50you know,
55:50a couple of years from now
55:51because I still listen to a lot of hip hop
55:53and R&B.
55:53I really,
55:55it's still always going to be my,
55:57basically my first love kind of stuff.
55:59But,
55:59yeah,
56:00thanks to you all,
56:01I got to listen to some great stuff,
56:03you know,
56:03Banana Ramo,
56:04you know,
56:05Queen,
56:05you know,
56:06sometimes when I didn't really,
56:07you know,
56:08know a lot of that stuff,
56:09but,
56:10you know,
56:10might have set people and stuff.
56:12But,
56:12hey,
56:12you know,
56:12we all listen to different types of music
56:15and the cool thing about it
56:16is that,
56:17you know,
56:17new people can discover
56:19and then fall in love with it.
56:21The same way I fall in love with the shows,
56:22ladies and jets.
56:24anyways,
56:25don't forget to hit that subscribe.
56:26I'll see you soon.
56:26Peace out.
