Original subtitles

Come on, Aidan, out of the way.

Come on.

It's all right for you to win it.

Come on.

Ross McCain.

Sir? Not so worried.

Your essay. I really enjoyed it.

Did you? It's a brilliant piece of writing.

You must have read a lot around the subject.

A bit.

Have you thought about university?

What you might like to study. Where?

Not really.

Well, you should.

That essay was Oxbridge entrance standard.

As if. Yeah, it was.

Have a little bit of confidence. You should be setting your sights high.

Swapped.

Oh, I'm still waiting for yours, Michaela. Any chance I can have it

this term?

Oxbridge, eh?

Features like that. Brainiac.

Maybe I just like doing my work.

What's so wrong with that?

He just fancies you.

Get off my case.

You coming tonight?

Maybe. Maybe?

Maybe.

Hey!

I am so sorry.

You got a problem or something?

No, she hasn't. I'm sorry.

Come on.

Yeah, my intention is to get a head chef on board who can also double as a

healthy school coordinator.

So I'm going to have interviews all day. I'm going to be up to my ears. So is

there anything else? Yeah, there is. One more thing.

Ros McCain.

Wow, that's impressive.

Exceptional. She's leaving everyone else behind.

We have to do something for this girl.

She's not just bright, she's extraordinary.

Well, she's clearly university material.

She's more than that, she's Oxbridge.

It's the best, and she's the best.

That will be a first for Waterloo Road.

Exactly, which is why I think we should push through this APU scheme I've

proposed. Just talk us through it one more time.

Advanced preparation for entrance to Oxbridge and the top universities.

Extra tuition, visits to the universities.

Practice interviews and exams.

You're talking about committing all these extra resources and money into

literally one student.

Ros has every chance of getting to Oxford or Cambridge, but she lacks

confidence. She needs more time and input to give her that extra push.

Surely we have to help the brightest pupils as well as the most challenged.

Yeah, I get your point.

OK, Chris, set it out.

What a bedder. It's like your own personal cleaner.

They make your bed and clean your room every day.

Are you joking?

No. My cousin's friend knew someone that went there.

They don't want you to have any distractions.

They just want you to concentrate on your studying.

What's this?

The ivory towers.

The what?

Oxford and Cambridge where Ros and I are going.

Well, we might apply to, Philip.

You're not as clever as you think you are, you know.

Yeah, and what idiot would want to spend three more years studying anyway?

A loser who knows the better degree you get means more money and a better job

you like to have.

You know what you need, Ryan?

School of life.

You can't learn everything from books.

No, which is why Mr Mead's given us high flyers. A bit extra.

Like what?

Special treatment, I expect.

Perks, rewards, privileges.

Just for us gifted types.

Oh, treat the geek.

We'll want them anyway.

Oh, dear.

Moonlighting taking its toll?

Your cab business.

Oh, I've stopped.

Can't drive a taxi if you haven't got a car.

One of my sisters had borrowed it when she went on holiday.

I never thought you were really cut out to be a cabbie.

Anyway, you've got this job, Rubes. Why not concentrate on that?

Yeah.

Hey, what's all this?

Applying for a post.

Grad course, hmm? Mature student.

I'm going to get one of our students into Oxbridge. Square peg round old,

on. See, that is exactly the kind of prejudice that I'm trying to get rid of.

It's not prejudice, it's geometry.

It's a world of we can now, Grantley, not we can't. You need to move with the

times. I applaud your idealism, but it'll all end in tears.

Oh, you miserablest.

Now you give them a false sense of their own potential.

Unleashed dangerous dream.

What's the idea?

More support of our brightest pupils to get them up to the standard of the top

league universities.

What kind of support?

Well, the stuff that kids at private school get as a matter of course.

The first thing I want to do is set them up with individual tutors. You know

what? I think it's a wicked idea, Chris.

I'll be a tutor.

Yeah, I'm in too.

Great.

Is that you? You've got a cling on?

Okay, everyone, quiet! Sit down, please. Take your seats.

Right, on your table, you should all have mirrors. I want you to pick one up,

take a look into it, and draw what you can see, OK?

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you going to use your girl's fancy one?

Are you mad?

No.

I need one of these.

Aidan?

What are those?

Nothing.

They're comfortable.

I'm fine.

Bye.

OK, well, I'll see you both at break. Yeah, definitely.

What's this?

It's a scheme to help students do a university entrance.

Can I join?

Er, I'm not really sure it'd benefit you.

So time off and trips and career advice and more free periods wouldn't...

Benefit me, sir. And what about extra homework?

Essays? Extra reading?

This is hardcore academic stuff.

I don't think it'd suit you.

I want to be on the scheme.

Look, I can only take on the really serious, consistent high achievers,

Michaela. I'm sorry.

Are you saying I can't go to university, sir?

No, not at all.

There's hundreds of universities out there, and with a bit more effort, you

could get a place if you want one.

But this is for students who want to go to the really academic establishments.

So better universities for better students?

Not everyone is or wants to be an academic high flyer.

Well, you can use your big words all you want. I know what you're saying.

You're saying I'm fit.

No, I never said that.

So how do you know what I'm capable of if you won't even let me try?

Because this requires intense private study and commitment.

Right, so I'm lazy now too.

No, of course not. Don't be stupid.

Stupid.

You called me stupid.

You're calling me stupid because I'm not stupid.

What's going on?

He's excluding from the APU scheme.

He won't even let me have a go.

What gives you the right to choose who can and can't go to university?

I haven't said you can't go to university. Can you all go to class,

don't need an audience.

I want to be on the scheme.

But we need to discuss this.

You know, it's such a shame because I really wanted one. Ignore her. Did you

want one?

No. I can get you one if you want one. No, it's okay, honestly.

But I'll get a fresh batch by break.

No. I'll pull my dealer.

Mum?

Where are you?

I need some more donuts now.

Call me.

Carla?

Are you on the APU scheme?

Well, you should be. You've got the best memory in the class.

It's outrageous.

It's wrong and they're repressing you.

Just sign that and pass it on, yeah?

Michaela, is there a problem?

I've got a need to be with Rachel Mason and I'm a bit early.

Name? Adam Fleet, chef.

I've not got you down for another hour.

I like to be early.

You'll have to take a seat.

Miss,

I was just wondering if I could borrow

some card and some stick.

We're doing some banners for England.

Yeah, well, help yourself to the card.

Well, that do? Thank you. Well

done. Brilliant.

Come on.

I thought you weren't going to come.

Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

We're at work.

I had to find an excuse to come out.

So where are they?

Oh, here.

What's these?

Well, I couldn't get to Bertie's.

Well, I wouldn't have got here in time.

Well, I've promised the girls doughnuts.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay, we really don't mind. Can you not get anything right?

Well, they're nice.

I got a lot.

Look, I'm sorry. I did try my best.

What happened to the others?

Teach took them off me, didn't she?

Because we're not allowed to eat in class.

Do you want me to have a word with them?

Look, I'm going to have to get going, sweetheart.

I'm late.

Look, if you change your mind, you let me know, OK?

Hello, I'm sorry.

She's so lame.

My mum would kill me if I talked to her like that.

Do you know if we're running on time?

I'd tell you if we weren't.

Maybe I've got time for a little look around.

I mean, I won't go far.

I'll see if anyone's free to take you.

Thank you.

Aidan, what are you doing with those?

Enjoying them.

No, they were confiscated.

No, they weren't.

I think it's time you handed them over. Come on.

Have you got any idea how many calories there is in just one of these?

They've got me fatness.

Aidan, I am not concerned about your size. I'm concerned about your health.

Look, when the new healthy school coordinator starts, I'd like it if you

and had a chat with them, OK?

What?

Was Rachel not mentioning it to you? No.

Oh, right. Well, she's interviewing now for a new head chef, and they're also

going to double up as a healthy school coordinator.

Going to head up the policy on food and nutrition.

Right. Just leave Aidan to me. We're going to have a chat. It's going to be

beneficial. All right. Well, can I have him back, then? Later.

peaceful protest, miss. We want our voices to be heard. We're not doing

wrong. He is labelling us second -class citizens.

Us and them, A and B, clever and thick, university and who cares?

It's segregation, innit?

Okay,

okay, you have been heard.

Right? Thank you very much.

Well, let's break this up now and get back to your lessons.

Miss Campbell, Mr Mead and I will have a look at your demands.

Right? We'll let you know our decision later.

We can't fail Ros, fine.

But we can't fail students like Michaela either. She felt excluded. That's where

all of this has come from. No, this has come from Michaela's desire to cause

trouble. And why do you think she wants to cause trouble? You made her feel

inferior. I don't think so.

Chris, you did.

By not letting her on that scheme, that is like a vote of no confidence. How can

we have confidence in grades that consistently low? Do you know what?

Intelligence isn't always about grades.

No, in an ideal world, it's not.

But grades are important to universities, and this is about

Michaela want to go to university?

No, she's being disruptive and destructive.

She's being creative and assertive.

Aidan, what are you doing here?

Nothing. Well, it can't be nothing, it must be something.

I just wanted to know why you called me Fat Miss.

I didn't call you fat, Aidan.

I said I was concerned about your health.

I get low blood sugar.

I need to eat.

I can't help how I am.

Look, I think that you can, if you wanted to.

If you just went to a few more of the sports classes, maybe cut back on the

snacks.

Aidan, Camilla will come and find you later, OK? We can talk about it then.

you when I need you.

I want you to run the school. You need to complain.

I'm being bullied.

And his father's teacher called me Scamble.

She called me fighting in front of all the other kids. And she says it's my

fault.

I need to talk to you, Mum.

I opened up the scheme. I suggested.

Philip's on it.

Philip? Our most middle class pupil from a university family.

Ros isn't, though, is she?

She's a genuinely bright, working -class kid. I've got a mix, Rachel.

Oh, come on, Chris, it's pretty token.

What about our underprivileged kids? They should be getting the advantages

pupils like Philip get for nothing.

Kim, I hear what you're saying, but the simple fact is not all our kids are cut

out for Oxbridge.

No, I know, and I'm not saying that.

But it's our duty to nurture any ambitions that any of them might have.

but there's a difference between nurturing ambition and encouraging false

dreams. One is kind, the other is cruel.

No, one is egalitarian and one isn't.

The scheme has got to be opened up properly for all university entrants.

mind all this Oxbridge elitist stuff.

OK, OK, that's enough. We need to set up a process of application to get on this

scheme. And then all the kids who want to be considered can have a shot at it.

OK. Right.

I need to get back to these interviews. It would be really great if I can trust

you two to deal with it.

This is our food technology department.

May I help you? Oh, you, Mrs Fry?

And you are?

Adam Fleet, head chef. I'm being interviewed today.

Ruby. Can I put a face to the name that the head and I will be discussing later?

Ah. Thanks very much, Andrea. I can look after Mr Fleet now, if that's all

right. Sure, no problem.

Interesting school.

Challenging. I expect you have quite a lot of diet -related behavioural

problems. ADHD, ADD, violence, depression, aggression.

Well, you know a lot about children and behaviour, do you? Well, I used to be in

your shoes before I started chefing.

What was your background, Mr Fleet, if I don't mind me asking? Of course not.

It's been quite a journey. I began as a teacher through technology, like you.

Right. But I always wanted the buzz of a kitchen, so I left and trained as a

chef. Then I decided I missed working with the kids, so I started as a youth

worker in my spare time.

Disadvantaged teens, you know, I love it.

And now I want to get back to working with them full -time, but yeah, I think

there's a lot we can do here, a lot of improvements we could make.

Yeah, that's absolutely fascinating. Listen, why don't you pop in with me?

tell you a bit more about it.

No, no, don't worry about your interview, because we'll be running late

If you sit in on my next class, then you'll get a chance to meet the children

well. Well, that would be great, but are you sure that's OK?

Oh, absolutely, yes, my pleasure. Maybe just for a few minutes. Yeah, great,

thank you. OK, please.

Interviews. We have to interview to get on the scheme.

Hey, you're always going to get in, aren't you?

It doesn't make any difference to you.

Oh, well, we've done it!

Look, this is exactly what we wanted, the APU scheme open to anyone.

Look, it's just political correctness. All right, box ticking.

They're wasting their time. Yeah, too right they are. Come on, we'll all do

It'll take them all week to get to us.

I don't think so.

Nope, definitely not me. Sorry.

Well, you will, won't you? We can't stop now.

Oh, but I hate interviews. They're scary.

Looks like you'll be representing the underprivileged alone.

It's just talking.

All we've got to do is give him a hard time.

It's a prop.

Right, we take turns with our questions and we'll give you the speaker.

All right.

Hi, Danielle.

Why do you think that you are university material?

I'm not sure I am.

Because you told me I was.

I want to be an international lawyer,

so I thought I could do a language degree and then a law conversion course.

At the moment, I'm applying to get onto the scheme that prepared me for

university entrance.

If I get on, then I'll be in a better position to answer that question.

Michaela.

Why do you think that you're university material?

Why won't I be?

Can we have a little bit less attitude, please?

Look, this is an opportunity for you to, well, prove to us and to yourself that

you deserve a place.

OK?

So why do you want to go to university?

Better education equals better jobs, better money, better lifestyle, better

all round.

I've got ambition.

And what do you think you have to offer a university?

Myself.

Right, everyone, gather round.

I'd like to introduce you to somebody. This is Mr Fleet, and he is a

professional chef. Well, he's taken time out to come and have a chat with you

today. He's... I'm going to observe you, if that's all right with you, by way of

an informal interview.

Sure. OK.

All right, hi kids. Let's take a look at this recipe here. Now, can anyone tell

me what it's for?

Well, come on, take a guess.

Aidan, would you like to read it out for us? Excellent.

Water, rehydrated rusk, dextrose, stabiliser, raisin agent, pork rind,

pork fat, filled in beef protein casings.

What are filled in beef protein care things?

That's bits of the beef carcass that can't be used for meat, like the bones,

gristle, the hooves.

Carry on, Aidan.

Um, antioxidants, sugar, colour and yeast extract.

Is it dog food, sir?

No. Come on, someone else have a guess.

A biscuit?

It's something most of you eat pretty regularly.

That's a job.

So that's the drum.

And that is what's in it.

So you are what you eat.

Think about it.

Well, thank you very much. That was very informative.

Now, if you could just stay a moment longer. You're going to have to go.

Is this a question?

A question is a sentence with an inflection at the end concluding in a

mark which requires an answer.

Unless the question is rhetorical, in which case the answer is implied by the

question or questioner.

So, yes, your sentence could be described as a question.

Is this a question?

Is this necessary?

Is this a question?

You've been reading the Oxbridge horror stories on the internet, haven't you?

Is this a question?

If this is an answer.

Spa.

We called your name. I had to give you a slot to another candidate.

Right. Is there any chance I could be seen later?

It's unlikely.

I'll see what I can do.

This is a bomb.

You alright?

This is a bomb.

Wow.

I'll get it.

Yeah, I know. It's a bomb.

And if it was a bomb, I'd throw it out the window.

Which is apparently how someone passed his Oxford interview.

This is a bomb.

Where do you see yourself in ten years, Bill?

With a beard.

Thank you.

In a job, I suppose.

God, I'll be 27.

Thank you.

Enough French -speaking North African country.

Working in human rights.

Brilliant.

Thanks, Ros.

Thank you, Ros.

I don't know.

Well, what would you like to be doing?

I know what I don't want to be doing.

Okay, what's that?

Raising three kids in a one -bedroom flat.

No bloke, no job.

So what would you like?

Well, I suppose I'm good at telling people what to do. I know it's usually

for a laugh, but...

I could make a good boss, couldn't I?

Yeah.

I'd like to have my own business.

Thank you, Michaela.

You say it. You say it.

Okay.

I've got the results from your interviews.

Michaela?

Don't you want to hear how you did?

Congratulations. You four got through.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

I got through?

You did very well.

Go to university!

No, whoa, hang on, hang on. I haven't finished.

It isn't a fait accompli yet.

What?

It's not all sewn up yet.

Congratulations on getting through part one.

You mean there's more?

Yeah.

Stage two.

There'll be a written paper after lunch.

Like an exam?

Um, think of it more of a chance to express your opinions.

It's not testing your knowledge. More a chance to show your powers of analysis.

What's that?

Your ability to argue.

Should be all right, then. Shut up.

The subject's going to be...

The past, the present or the future. Which has most value to you and why?

I want you to use your lunch break to make any notes, do some research and

your essay.

Well done, all of you.

And good luck with the paper.

Have you got a moment, me?

Yeah, of course I have. You did really good today, you know.

Thanks.

Do you really think I can go to university?

I think you've got so much potential, you could do anything you put your mind

to.

You're not just saying that, are you?

No.

Right, well, will you help me with the next bit, then?

What next bit?

The exam.

What exam?

The exam Mr Mee told us about.

When did he tell you about that?

Before. I find it harder to express myself and argue on paper, so I wondered

you have any tips.

Um, yeah, the best thing is to keep it clear and simple.

Write it as you'd speak it, you know, don't try and be too literary.

Bookish. Right.

And make sure you use your own voice.

OK. Don't get intimidated by the exam conditions.

Keep confidence.

Be yourself. That's the key to your success.

You've got a really good opportunity here. Make the most of it.

What's this essay?

You didn't mention that earlier.

Ah, yeah.

Michaela literally thought that that was it.

That she had a university place.

Well, I couldn't let her believe that. It's deceitful.

I'm only protecting her, Kim. Well, shouldn't you have discussed it with me

first? Never mind Rachel.

Yes. Yeah, I should have done and I apologise. But Rachel wanted a proper

application process.

This is it.

We can't just let them through on interview, Kim.

Universities test academically.

To let the kids think otherwise is setting them up for a massive fall.

Ah, Michaela has just proved that she has got as much right to be on this

as anybody else. No.

She's proved that she's quick -witted and she's got the gift of the gap.

She's straight and she's smart, but she's not academic.

And as much as I'd love to be proved wrong, Michaela just won't get the

that they asked for.

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but for now, we have got a student

who has all of a sudden got this ambition and drive, and instead of

her, you want her to fall at the first hurdle? You're missing the point. No,

are, Chris.

All right, Kim, just calm down. I don't want you getting all het up.

My God, you really are like this sexist, elitist prejudice.

OK, thank you. Can I get a little word in here?

I've got Aidan Keane's mum downstairs in a fury.

It's very difficult, Kim, because now she's saying you called Aidan fat.

And she's accusing you of bullying and prejudice, so shall we deal with it?

Prejudice. Your favourite subject?

got all day, you know. I'm due back at work.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs. Keane. Er, Kim Cavill. Oh, so it's you

been giving my son so much grief.

I'm not sure what Aidan said, but obviously there are two sides to every

What, you're accusing him of being a liar now as well, are you? I really

think that was Kim's intention.

Well, it's what I heard.

If it wasn't what she meant, she ought to be more careful with her words.

Aidan got a little bit upset this morning when I confiscated some snacks

him that he was eating in my class.

It was a small thing, but then I had to have a word with him when he stole the

bag back.

Oh, so he's a thief now as well, is he?

Well, I'm sorry, but you've got my son wrong. He never nicked that bag back.

I'm afraid he did, Mrs Yean.

Well, what's them there, then?

I brought him in the snacks he had at break. I brought in sausage rolls.

Them in there is doughnuts.

I'd like an apology, please.

Aidan has a healthy appetite.

When he comfort eats, it's because he is not happy.

And he is not happy because he's been bullied at school.

Have you been aware of any bullying issues?

No, she is the bully. I'm sorry, I can't allow you to speak to my staff like

that. But you let her talk about my son like that.

Aidan is a complicated and conflicted young boy.

No, Aidan is a gentle and sensitive young boy.

And if the insensitive and aggressive way that you're talking to me is the way

you talk to him, well, I'm not surprised he's been having these upsets.

Mrs Keane, I don't think that Aidan is the same at school as what he is at

Mrs Keane, what is he like at home?

Well, he's tired from school, isn't he?

There's a lot of stress put on him.

So I don't put on pressure. I just give him what he needs, look after him. And

he's calm.

He's mellow.

And in your point of view, what's he like at school?

To be honest, he's sulky.

He's negative, he's withdrawn, he's hostile to the other pupils, he's rude

staff. Oh, you have really got it in for him, haven't you?

Do you know what? I think that Aidan should be here.

I think you should go and get him, Kim. He should be involved in this

discussion. OK. Well, I'm coming with you.

Is she ready for me?

Full diary all afternoon.

I suppose you could wait and catch her at the end of the day.

Okay, thank you.

Is it seat free?

Shut up, Lauren.

Yeah, shut up, Lauren.

Are you two together after men? Just leave it.

I thought you only had eyes for Bolton. Shut up.

She said shut up.

You can't speak for her. She's not your girlfriend.

But you can't either.

Sam, why don't you just tell him? Tell him you don't like him. She doesn't like

you. Leave her alone.

Shut up. Just shut up.

What are you doing, you fat slob? You want a drink?

You what?

And calm down.

What are you doing here?

I'm sure you'll be fine.

What were you doing?

I didn't mean to.

It were her. She was winding me up. She made me hit her. No, Aidan, we have a

strong policy about physical violence in this school and there is not an excuse

for it.

Ever. She was bullying me.

Is that right, Sam? No.

Yes, she was.

She was picking on me. She was making fun of my weight.

She was making fun of me too. She was just teething.

We tease each other all the time.

You just can't take it.

The only person that's got a problem with the weight is you.

The rest of us, we just don't care.

You care?

You'll go out with some fat. No, I won't go out with you because I don't like

you. Are you going to let her talk to my son like that?

Sam, you need to explain why you said that. He wasn't very kind. Well, he

very kind.

Oh, I've had enough of this.

He takes everything personally. He won't join in with anything. And he always

feels sorry for himself.

You make it impossible for anyone to be your friend, Aidan.

You always make us feel like we're upsetting you, even when we're not.

The only person that's a bully is you.

Sir, can I have some more paper, please?

How did it make you feel when Sam Cooper said

that, Aidan?

You see, none of this would have happened if he'd have come for me when I

you to.

Please don't talk to your mum like that. Can we go?

Why do you let him talk to you like that, Sam?

Do you know this morning he called you lame?

That's his problem. He doesn't deserve you.

Shut up, you.

You know nothing about us, so shut it. That is enough, Aidan.

You may talk to your mum like that at home, but we do not allow rudeness in

school. You see, mum, they're all against me all the time. Maybe Aidan is

struggling with the different boundaries that he has at home and at school.

We all want the best for Aidan, but we need your support at home if he's going

to be a success at school.

I know that you care.

Where are you going?

With you.

No, you're staying at school until the end of the day.

But I don't want to. I want to come with you.

I have tried to do my best by you, Aidan. I've given you everything.

Maybe it's too much.

It's not made you happy, has it?

It's not working.

Mum! So you just listen to your teachers while you're at school because I am not

interfering with your school business anymore.

So I'll see you later.

Sir, I can't concentrate.

OK, either she has to move or I will.

I'm not doing anything.

Because you can't do the questions, it doesn't mean if the drag goes down as

well, OK? Right, quiet, please. These are exam conditions.

Finished, sir.

There's still ten minutes left.

Why don't you use that time to check through your work?

No. You were right.

I am second.

I hear silent

whispers And I know you're close

I watch your shadow

Is Lauren OK?

Yeah, I've sent her to the school, though.

OK. And is Aidan's mum still here? No, no, she's gone home. I think she finally

saw the other side, so it's gone.

Any luck with any of these candidates?

Well, it's an eclectic bunch, but I don't think any of them are quite right.

Oh, and we had one no -show. It was this guy, Adam Fleet.

He didn't turn up. Oh, no, no, he was in the canteen.

Really? Mm.

Any idea where he is now?

Well, I should imagine he's still there.

All right, thanks. We'll go and find him.

Michaela.

You lied to me, mate.

You made me think that I could do it when you knew that I couldn't. I don't

understand what's happened. I made such an idiot of myself in there.

What do I do?

What do I do now?

What do I do? Come on.

Adam, meet.

I know you, don't I?

Amanda Fenshaw.

Oh, my God, I don't believe it. It is you, it's Adam Fleet, Fat Adam.

I'm sorry.

Good to see you, too.

Do you work here?

I'm the headteacher.

Rachel Mason?

I had to change my name, it's a long story.

I had an interview with you today. I know, I recognise your name, but you

to be much bigger, didn't you? I did, yes, that was some time ago.

That's been a long time.

You haven't changed.

You have.

But you still can't keep an appointment.

I'm sorry, I got hijacked by your food tech teacher. She got me demonstrating

methods in one of her lessons.

Seemed pleased.

You should have mentioned that.

Really? Look, I have got some time now. Do you want to do that interview?

That would be great.

I never even wanted to try out for the scheme properly.

I was just annoyed at Ros and Philip.

And then you made me think I could do it.

I should have known I couldn't do it. I shouldn't have believed you. You proved

yourself highly capable in those interviews today.

Not in the exams.

Look, the exams and the interviews weren't about passing and failing.

They were about showing us what the best way forward for each individual student

was.

So what's the best way forward for me?

Well, you've got a choice.

You could go to uni. You would have to apply yourself.

You'd have to work really, really hard on getting your written work up to

standard. But what you need to ask yourself is three years' academic study

you really want.

I want to be successful.

I want to make something of myself.

And you will.

You're already on your way to doing that now.

Believe it or not, you had a great day today.

It was a good learning curve.

God, you can be anything that you want to be. You just need to want it enough.

Well, I know what I don't want.

What?

I don't want to go to university.

Well, you might change your mind on that again.

Higher education isn't the only way.

Some of our most powerful entrepreneurs sell sugar.

Through Richard Branson.

They didn't go to university.

I

just

saw Mr Mead and he said all three of us are through.

Where's the papers if you want them back?

What did you get?

75%. How about you?

Must be a mistake.

What?

90%.

Congratulations,

Ros. You're doing modern languages for your APU, right?

I've been chosen to be your tutor.

Any idea who I've got?

You have to ask Mr Mead about that. It's just our Oxbridge candidate for the

moment. How's Michaela?

Er, well, she's... She's bruised, but she's a survivor. She'll be OK.

It's better that she goes through this disappointment now.

It'd have only been even more painful further down the line.

No, I still think that she could go to uni if she puts her mind to it.

You can't put a glass ceiling on her ambition. Look, I admire your

Kim, but this one -size -fits -all philosophy just doesn't work.

No, Chris, it's not about that.

These kids are fragile.

They need positive reinforcement. They don't need putting down and telling that

they're not good enough.

Right, and that's what you were doing with Aidan Keane, is it?

Aidan Keane... Sir, I don't understand what's going on.

What? I thought I was down with a potential Oxford student.

Nothing's been decided yet, Philip.

Yeah, it has. Ros has already been given a tutor. She's been told she's the only

candidate. No, that's a rumour.

Me and Miss Campbell are discussing everything right now.

Look, it's not fair if you're basing everything on that exam today. Look,

speak to you first thing in the morning, Philip.

Okay.

Less chat, more action. Right.

Team captain, Paul and Bolton, get into your teams. Let's play.

Come on.

Thanks, Aidan. Why don't you join us, Aidan? Might be your sport.

Oh, come on.

Maybe some other time, but thanks.

Right, come on.

Come on, Ty.

I believe kids can only understand food by handling it.

You know, getting to grips with the whole organic process.

That makes sense.

I'd get someone like Aidan to make a list of what he ate yesterday.

I'd work out the calories and nutritional content then.

Using the same ingredients, I'd teach him how to make something like this.

Fewer calories and proper nutritional content.

Mmm, well, it smells good.

Do you know what? I seem to remember that you were the takeaway king. It was

fish and chips and pizzas, wasn't it? Not anymore. Mexican -style chicken

The only main course I could come up with.

They used chocolate.

Chocolate? OK.

Let's give it a go, then.

Actually, that's really good. Thank you.

That's delicious.

Thank you.

I'd like to do this with all the kids with health or weight issues.

Rework their relationship with food, break their habits, just reconnect them

with what they're eating.

Yeah, congratulations, because if you want this job, it's yours.

Thank you.
