- Dad, I can't find a black tie for
Tommy anywhere.

He's only got one with Transformers on
it.

I can't find half my stuff neither.

Dad?

Tommy, get up, will you?

Tommy?

Tommy's not here!

Dad! Tommy's not here!

Dad!

Tommy! Tommy!

- DOG BARKS

- Tommy!

Tommy?

Nice work, Lance.

- All change, then.

I suppose a new uniform is a fait
accompli?

- It's on its way.

Welcome to Waterloo Road, Neil.

- You're not one of ours, are you?

What have you got there?

- That's for my mum, but I've done it
wrong.

- I don't think you've done it wrong.

Shall I put it up for you? Got one of
these.

There you go. Right next to Mum.

That's good, innit?

- Tommy, what are you doing?

- Izzy?

Hey, come inside and warm up, eh?

You both look like you need a brew.
Come on.

And I know a woman that's got really
great biscuits.

Right, Tommy, shall I show you where I
hide the good biscuits?

- Yeah, sure.
- Come on.

Just through here, sweetie.

- It's not the easiest of days, is it?

SHE SNIFFLES

Izzy, we are going to do everything
that we can to help you.

I promise.

And I want you to know that I am not
going to let anybody

in this school forget your mum.
- I'd best go.

- Well, I'll be at the funeral later.

Why don't Miss Spratt and Miss Omar
run you home?

- There's no need.

- Well, I'd just like them to check on
your dad.

- Oi! Come here, you.

What school do you go to?
- Waterloo Road.

- No, see, what school do you go to?

- I think it's that William Beswick
one.

- Listen, I go to William Beswick an'
all,

so what school do you go to, mate?

- William Beswick.
- Ah! Good boy!

- I must have got, like, a 20-minute
kip last night?

That headcase going on about Steve.

Do I look like a Steve?!

- Well, I was up till 3am trying to
suss simultaneous equations

and I still don't get it.

But what's the point? Cos those suits
haven't even decided

if I'm meant to be in school yet.

- Bro, you're all right, man, it's
fine.

- It's all right for you to say!

You've got somewhere to go after this.
What have I got?

- Oh, aye! What school do you go to?

- Oh, my God, Waterloo Road. Now can
you move?

- It's William Beswick!
- Oh, he's pushing me now!

He's pushing me!

- He's too dumb to go there. Ooh!
- Danny, leave it, man.

- What school do you go to, Danny?

- Danny, don't waste your time on
these...
- Danny, do you go to school?

What school?
- I ain't got a school yet.

- Have you no school, mate? No home?

You've not even got a mum! Nothing!

- CHANTING, SHOUTING

- Danny, no!

- No! Break it up now!

Right, show is over.

And you're telling me that you want to
be allowed back into the school?

Both of you are spending the day in
isolation. Go!

Go.

Registration now!

- Thank you very much. Do up that top
button, please.

- Got your bag?
- O'Connor, where's your tie?

- Remember I'm going to pick you up
from drama club, all right?

- Do you have to? Cos Dad always picks
me up and we get smoothies.

- Yeah, but not tonight.

- It's OK. I can still pick her up.

- Please, Mum, cos we've already
missed movie night

and it's just not fair otherwise.

- I'm just going to have a quick word
with Mum, OK?
- OK.

- This is crazy.

You went to your dad cap in hand.

You wanted the career break.

- I took the career break so that you
could make head

and now that hasn't happened.

- So I'm a failure? Is that what the
problem is here?

- It's not me thinking you're a
failure that's causing the problem.

- Look, I need to come home tonight.

I only have a weekend bag.

- OK.

Bonjour, ca va.

- Ah, oui, Alice, ca va. Tres bien!

- Joe, I need you and Lindon to get
the behavioural unit open today.

- We said next week.

- Well, I just caught Dean Weever

and Danny Lewis knocking seven bells
out of each other.

I told them they've got to spend the
day in isolation.

- Hang on, the BU is not for central
detentions.

It's for kids on the verge of
exclusion.

We need parental signatures, we need
behaviour contracts.

- I can't let them get away with
fighting, especially not after making

such a point of saying it was
zero-tolerance.

And Danny needs to know that he hasn't
got a free pass.

- We're trying to pull him back in,
aren't we? Not push him out.

- I can't be seen as a soft touch.

- Kim, I know what happened with Mrs
Charles has hit you hard, but...

- I did not change the name of this
school for no reason.

We are trying to create a whole new
culture.

We need to change too.

- Which means lumping Danny in with
Dean Weever?

- It's whatever works, Joe!

BELL RINGS

Look, I've got a massive report to
write for the governors tonight,

right? I've also got a funeral to go
to.

KNOCK AT DOOR

- Yeah.

What do you want?

Oi! What do you think you're doing?

That's my work, that is.

Hey, come on, I missed one payment.

Oi! I'm talking to you. Not today.

Not today, all right?

Right, it's my wife's funeral, OK?
Please.

Please! Please! It's my wife's
funeral, man.

Please!

Come back!

Come back!

- Dad! Are you OK?

- What's going on?

- I'm Miss Spratt, Amy, and this is
Jamilah.

- I'm the social worker attached to
Waterloo Road.

- We don't need no social worker.
- I appreciate it's a difficult day.

- You're her, aren't you? The one that
was giving her first aid

when she should have gone to hospital.

If you'd done your job right, she'd
still be here!

- It's not her fault.
- Yeah, then whose fault is it, then?

- Mr Charles, we're just here to
support you and your family.

- Stuff your support. Right, we don't
need it.

Not from Waterloo bloody Road anyway.
Izzy, inside.

Come on, Tommy.

Izzy, inside now!

What are you playing at, hey?

Get in.

- Oh, Miss Campbell?

I must say, the new sign looks very
nice.

- Oh, right, thank you, Neil. I've got
assembly, so I'm going to...

- I do wish there'd been a little more
consultation with staff,

though, before the change was
formalised.
- Right.

Well, yeah, I appreciate it wasn't an
ideal process for everyone.

- Well, a lot of people don't want it,
you know.

And I must admit I do share some of
their concerns.

- Right, that we no longer look up to
a man who wouldn't have

let many of the pupils anywhere near
the place?

- Most of them didn't know who he was
until all this.

What they did know was the heritage of
the school.

And they knew that because their
parents came here

and their grandparents.

- And nobody can take that away from
them, can they?

- I have tried to discuss the
underlying issues,

but you bring any nuance to the debate
and you get shouted down.

- Neil, the name has changed.

We can make our own heritage.

Sorry, can we do this later?

- Seriously, why are we even here?

- My God.

- Where were you? I waited.

- I was working out. Forgot the time.

- Move your leg.

- Good morning, Waterloo Road.

SCATTERED APPLAUSE

As you know, there was a fatality
outside the school last week.

Her name was Chlo Charles.

And today is her funeral.

- It's not like we got away with
anything.

It feels like we've been in detention
for ever.

- Doesn't matter how many we do.

It doesn't make up for someone losing
their mum.

- Now, I don't want to talk about what
caused the accident again.

I'll leave that up to the enquiry.

- No-one else is beating themselves up
about it like this.

- No-one else started making paint
bombs. That's on me.

- Just know that we have come down
hard on everybody

involved in the riot and we will
continue to do so

in the face of any violent behaviour.

Now, I would like to have a minute's
silence to remember Chlo

and her family on this very hard day.

- I can't do this.

- Miss, Shola ain't feeling well.

- Toilets, if you must.

- Has it been a minute yet?

- Like five seconds. Shut up.

- Don't tell me to shut up.

- As you know, there was an email sent
out last week

saying that we are pushing forward
with the new uniform.

But the good news is that you are
going to be able to see

the new uniform in here from today.

We are all in this together.

We are Waterloo Road.

COUGHS:
- William Beswick!

- Shut up. It's Waterloo Road.

- SCATTERED APPLAUSE

What are you doing back in bed?

- Please, Iz, just leave me alone.

- Mum would have gone mad at you out
there.

That teacher, she tried to help Mum,
and you say all that to her.

- I said I didn't need their help,
Izzy.

- It's not happening to just you.

You're making everything ten times
harder!

The one time I really need you, you're
not here!

- SCHOOL BELL RINGS

- Our guests for today, Mr King.

- All right, find a seat.

- Where?

- Chairs, yes, right.

- What is this? Is it some sort of
jail?

- I don't even know what I'm doing
here.

- I'm guessing you've been thinking
with your fists

like you usually do, Lewis.

- Sir, this isn't my school now.

Why should I follow its rules?
- Because it's my school, that's why.

And why would you want to keep a name
that so many

of your classmates find offensive?
- Cos it don't bother me.

- Ever heard of empathy?

- What, like when you can communicate
using your brain?

- Find out what it actually is

and I'll have five pages on empathy by
the end of the day.

And you, Lewis, if you want to stay in
this school, prove it.

- I told them the accident was caused
by paint on my windscreen.

Still, hours the police were at ours
asking questions.

- That's a bit much, innit?

You're not even the one who hit the
poor woman.

- That is what I told them.

If I was looking at anyone,

I'd be looking at the one who nicely
bandaged her arm

instead of calling for an ambulance,
but that's just me.

- Well, I guess they'll find out what
happens

when they've had the coroner's
inquest.

- Girls, class.

- No, miss, please, I have to talk to
you, please.

- What's the matter? Tell me at class.

- Please can I go to Izzy's mum's
funeral, miss?
- No, you can't.

- But I want to say sorry.

- That's not going to help them.
- It might help me.

- Shola, listen, you've got to stop
beating yourself up about this.

OK, you made a mistake,

but you could not have foreseen what
happened.

- So, I'm just supposed to forget? I'm
supposed to carry on like normal?

- I know it's not easy.
- You don't know, miss, you don't!

- RATTLING

- For the Charles family.

- Friendly advice?
- Mm.

- Erm, some might think it's a bit
much

when you were, you know, involved.

- Involved?

- See, it's one reason I never trained
as a first aider.

People point fingers at you when
things go wrong.

- People are pointing fingers at me?
- Probably at me too,

but of course I've been cleared of any
wrongdoing now.

- Mr Charles did blame me,

but like Jamilah said, that's just the
grief talking.

Isn't it?
- I'm sure.

- This is a mess. Do it again.

- This one was all right, though.

- Show your working out clearly and
fully.

Do it again.

- Wendy, have you got the BU cost
projections to hand?

COUGHS

- Miss, this new uniform...
- You two should be in class.

- It's not gender neutral.
- No, it's not. That's because

there are some girls that object to
not being able to wear a skirt.

- Yes, because of cultural norms. So,
if we decide to be

proactive about it, then it maybe
could change.

- OK, Caz...
- Miss Campbell, I'm really not happy.
- Right.

Sorry, can you just give me one
minute?

- Miss, it's a real opportunity
wasted.

- Caz, it is also a cost issue.

OK? We can't expect parents to replace
skirts with trousers

unless they want to, which is fine, by
the way.

- But it's OK to expect us to replace
the blazer

and the tie and everything else?
- I mean, I do agree with that.

But the racist name had to go.
- Yeah.

- And anyone who supports him, they're
racist too.

- All right, Nicky... Mrs Walters, do
you want to take a seat in there?

Class.

- Of course.

- I don't think I should be expected
to buy uniform again

just because the old one is now not
politically correct any more.

- Well, we're actually going to be
issuing vouchers to cover

the cost of the blazer and of the tie.
- Excuse me!

I don't need the school giving me
vouchers.
- No. No, sorry. I di...

- It'll cover it anyway.

- But I honestly think that this is
going to give us

a school where everyone feels like
they truly belong.

- You know what I want?

I want my kids to belong to a school

that has decent sports gear and
computers

cos the money's not been spaffed up
the wall on uniform vouchers.

- Well, I'm actually going to see the
governors tonight

and we are going to be talking about
additional sponsorship.

- Oh, right. Well, I might come along.

- No, you can't.

Parents aren't invited to the
governors' meeting, so...

- Well, this parent's just invited
herself, all right?

- The decision has been made, Nicky.

- Well, decisions can be unmade, Kim.

- What are you trying to do?

- I'm trying to get this place up and
running.

- That is a vulnerable kid in there
with no family support.

If their teacher uses fear,
intimidation and bullying,

then we cannot complain when they do
the same thing.

- You know what they're learning from
your textiles and beanbags?

You're a soft touch.

You think they respect you. I promise
you they don't.

- You're wrong in the head, you, doing
them sums again.

- Cos I don't want to get kicked out.
- I can't wait.

I don't get you wanting to come back
in.

CLANG

- I've got you crisps, man.

- Mate, it's got bars on it, man.

Go find another one.

- Use that way, man.
- Yeah, go on, man.

BANGING

- Oi!

He said stay in here.

- They didn't put any bars in the
bogs.

Cowboys, mate.

Oi! Oh, yes, mate.

Thank you. Thank you.

What have I told you about cheese and
onion?

- Chill, man.

- What are you doing?

- What?

- You know if Mr King finds out, he'll
go nuclear.

- Well, he's not going to find out, is
he?

You need to chill out, man.

The worst thing you can do is stress.

Go on.

- All I'm saying is the boy has a
talent for making wrong choices.

- Yeah, and no-one to stop him making
them but us.

- Do you seriously think that...

Oi! What are you doing back there?

- Nothing, sir.

- Open the door now!

Both of you outside now.

- It wasn't me, sir.
- I don't care who it was.

Get outside.
- I'm just saying, sir, it's not me.

- Get outside, Dean!

- The plumbing hasn't been done in
here.

- The Hundred Years' War.

I take it we've all watched the module
now. So what do we think?

- Boring!
- Sir, you've still got that up.

- That's because we should be paying
attention

to the historical record, and not
whoever shouts the loudest.

- Is he talking about me?

- So you don't agree with getting rid
of the racist name, sir?

- How long was the Hundred Years' War?
How long did it last?

Now, it's tricky. It's not as easy as
it sounds.

- I just asked you a question, sir.

- Yes, and you're framing it in a
particularly emotive way.

- Well, you either do or you don't.

- All right, if you want an honest
answer,

no.

- Oh, come on, sir!

- William Beswick did a lot of good in
his time.

That is a fact.

History is about establishing the
truth,

whether you enjoy that truth or not.

- Sir, you're something, you, sir.
- Yeah, gammon!

- Well, here's a truth. You've got
detention.

- Again? Why?
- Or I've heard that the behavioural
unit is open,

if you prefer to go there.

- So it doesn't bother you, sir, that
Beswick was a slave trader?

- Oh, my days! No-one's actually ever
cared before.

Just cos a couple of geeks want to go,
"Oh, boohoo!"

Yeah. We don't care!
- What are you piping up for?

- We don't care! Chill.

- Do you know who was the key advocate
for the abolition of slavery?

Mm?

The Duke of Wellington,

also known as hero of Waterloo.

But he was also involved in Peterloo,
where soldiers

opened fire on innocent protestors
just down the road from here.

So, is he to be celebrated or
vilified?

See, the full picture is complicated,

and it goes against the nature of my
subject

to reduce it to sloganeering.

- You're cancelled, you, sir.

- Snowflake!

- Who are you throwing at?

SHOUTING

- That'll do.

- All right?

- Mum would have told you to iron them
properly, but all right.

- There's a big car.

- All right.

Come on, kids.

- HE CRIES

- Hey.

Hey, it's all right.

Oi.

You don't want to go, do you, son?

OK. I'll tell you what, why don't you
go next door with Di?

Yeah?

I'm sure she could do with a hand
looking after Sparky, all right?

And I'll give this to Mummy.

- Won't Mum be upset?
- No.

No, not with you, son.

Not with you.

Come here.

Come on. Let's go.

- Do you want to sign against the new
uniform?

No? Extra chips if you sign.

- Mum, what are you...? Mum!

- Sign against the uniform?

- I appreciate what you're doing,
Nicky,

but a few signatures isn't going to
make any difference now.

- I suppose not.
- So why don't we find a way

to make this work for all of us?

- How about a couple of hundred
signatures online?
- What?

- Well, parents' WhatsApp group's up
in arms.

It's busier than when Mr King did
online swimming lessons.
- Oh, my God.

- Right, I've got a funeral to go to.
I can't do this now.

- See, you don't appreciate what a
stretch this is for people.

One little unexpected cost,

and that's one day this week you can't
afford to eat.

I'm lucky, but, you know, for other
people.

- Mum, why are you getting so hung up
on this?

- Excuse me, I actually have low blood
sugar.

So...

- BEEP

I am aware of the costs, OK,

and I'm doing everything that I can to
soften the blow.

But pupils are not going to be sent
home for wearing the wrong shoes

on day one of the new uniform, I
promise.

- Well, I want to hear what the
governors think, to be honest.

- I've asked the governors to back me
on this.

I've said that I've got parental
support.

- Should have asked the parents first,
then.

- Who died and made you Marcus
Rashford?

- See, I told you he's going to expel
us.

- Technically it was only you they
caught.

- But I bet he's going to grass us up.
- I'm not a grass.

- Till you get thrown out.

- I'd grass.
- Shut up.

- I'm not a grass.

- Who brought it into the building?

- What were you doing round the back?

- Sir, just giving him his crisps,
sir.

- Crisps. All right, what, like salt
and vinegar? Beef?

- I think it was cheese and onion.
- Cheese and onion.

- Cheese and onion. Do you think we're
stupid?

- Who brought drugs into the school?

Lewis?

You two, leave.

- Sir.
- Cheers, sir.

- If you're trying to protect those
two idiots,

I strongly suggest you think again.

- Yeah, well, I'm not.

- Then where did it come from, then?

- Got it at the hostel.

- Why are you even going anywhere near
drugs?

- Look, it's the work, OK? It's too
hard!

And I'm already falling behind and
then you go and put me in there!

I just needed to de-stress!

- Right.

Well, you're about to find out what
real stress is.

It's a police matter, obviously.

- Sir.
- Come on.

- There are plenty of kids that would
give their right arm

for this opportunity, and you throw it
away like that.
- I'm not.

- If I had seen commitment in your
work, Lewis, I'd be able to

stand by you, but I haven't seen
anything like that.

- You've had it in for me ever since I
first got here.

If anyone would have had my back, I
would have thought that it'd be you.

- Take a seat.

You know that weed did not come in
with Danny.

- That's not what he said.

- Well, he won't grass, will he? Not
even on the likes of Weever.

- Look, I've seen what I need to see,
OK?

- No, you saw what you wanted to see.

Criminalise him now, he's finished. We
lose him for good.

- Yeah, and if we don't, he's going to
think he can do what he likes.

No repercussions, no nothing.

- Lindon, I am head of safeguarding.

I know things about Danny's background
that you don't.

- I know more than you ever will about
Danny's background.

- This is not going to help.
- Hello?

This is Mr King from Waterloo Road.

- Do you think he's going to get
kicked out, though?
- Don't know.

- I mean, is he going to be able to
stay in that hostel and that?

- Don't know.

- Do you think maybe you should have
said something, then?

- My dad'll leather us if I get kicked
out.

- Chill, man.

- Oh, you have got to be joking.

Shola Aku, where do you think you're
going?

You do not leave school without
permission.

Go and report to Miss Whitwell,
please.

- I'm going to the funeral.
- No. No, we've talked about this.

- You said yourself about
responsibility -

this is me taking it.
- No, this is you acting as reckless

as you did at the protest.

- See, you do blame me! And you're
dead right, because it's my fault.

- Oh, get in.

- Serious, miss?
- We'll talk to your parents on the
way, OK,

but you do not speak to the Charles
family.

Do you understand?
- Yeah. Yes, miss.

- We come together here today to
remember

and celebrate the life of Chlo
Charles.

And it's important that as time goes
on,

we remember the good moments in Chlo's
life.

And in that spirit, Donte would now
like to share his memories of Chlo.

- I, erm...

I never expected to have to be up
here.

But I...

I'm going to try and do a good job for
you.

Chlo was the best person.

Chlo was...

I see we've got Waterloo Road in.

Shouldn't you be at school? You know,
doing your job?

You know, if you did that right,

Chlo might still be here, Miss
Campbell.
- I'm sorry.

- Sorry?

You've got no clue.

No clue how it feels standing up here.

- Donte, would you like to take a
moment?

- Come on.

- I'm sorry.

I can't do it. I'm sorry.

Yeah, go on. Get out of here.

- I told you not to take the ring
road.

Just because you picked me up from the
airport,

you think you can pull a fast one.

I'm a local, mate!

- Whatever.
- Yeah. Same to you too.

Go on!

- Janeece!

- Honey. Come here.

Thank God. I thought I was late.

I'm so sorry about Chlo. I can't
believe it.

That is not how you do a tie up, you
know.

Wait a minute, why are you out here by
yourself?

- I just... I couldn't face it, Jan.

- What, you mean everyone's in there
waiting?

Oh, mate, look, you'll feel worse
later if you don't.

Is this your speech?

"The best person.

"If I could get hold of those
responsible..."

I can't work out the rest of it.

It's your handwriting.

- Yeah, well, I was hammered when I
wrote it, so...

- Yeah, well, most of it is quite
angry.

But the stuff about Chlo is lovely.
You can't not say it.

- If I say it, then it's real, you
know?

- Hey.

I knew that you'd be like this today,
so I got this made.

I got it engraved.

W-W-C-D.

What would Chlo do?

- Jan, it says W-W-D-C. What would do
Chlo?

- Oh, I blame Budgen! He never did
teach me no good spelling or owt.

Fine.

I tell ya what would do Chlo.

You have got a duty to do.

You've got all these lovely words and
people need to hear them.

- I just should have done more, you
know?

- No, you've done all that you could.

She was always telling me that you
couldn't do more for her.

Well, that was after she'd banged on
about you driving her mad.

You've got to do this today for her.

- I don't think I can, Jan.

But will you?

- Are you sure you're all right, miss?

- He just needed someone to shout at.

- But it shouldn't be you. It's not
fair.

- Not a lot is.

- Have we come the wrong way?

- I want to show you something.

Something that I don't often share.

This is Dexter.

This is my son.

He was very brave.

Weren't you, my angel?

I should have seen the symptoms
earlier.

I should have trusted my instincts
that something was wrong.

But I didn't.

And he went through so much.

And then he was gone, and it was all
my fault.

And it took me a long time to accept
that there are just

some things in life that are out of
your control.

But you have to, Shola, you have to
realise that you did your best

and nobody thinks that it's your
fault.

- Chlo was the best person that I ever
knew.

And this is Donte speaking, yeah? So
just pretend.

She was kind,

funny, caring and strange...

Strong, she were strong.

Sorry!

She was beautiful - inside and out.

A wonderful wife, a great mum.

I'm not saying she didn't have her
annoying little habits,

like stealing your chips, doing the
dishes again

after I'd already done 'em, and
supporting United!

But all those things are just what
made you love her even more...

..because they were a part of who she
was.

You might think this sounds weird,

but I stand here feeling like the
luckiest man in the world.

Because me and Chlo met so young, we
shared so many years together.

She gave me two beautiful children

and I see Chlo every day in liddle
worlser... Eh?

Eh?

- Cheers, Jan.

I see Chlo

every day in little ways that they
have that are just like her.

In Tommy's jokes...

..in Izzy's smile.

And also the way that Izzy never lets
me get away with a thing.

You know, Chlo was a good person...

..which makes it that more unfair
that...

You know what? Scrap that part.

Chlo wouldn't want us to waste our
life being angry.

And she'd want us to be happy.

- SCHOOL BELL RINGS

- What the...?!

Oh, no...

Oh, no.

Right!

- Awesome, Sammy. Now, what other
persuasive techniques do we know?

- Sit down and shut your hole!

- Written techniques, Kelly Jo.

- KNOCK AT DOOR

- Come in.

- Miss, can I see Kelly Jo Rafferty,
please?

Regarding the vandalism of my
classroom.

- What?
- Are you sure it was her?

- Oh, yes, she's got a very
distinctive style.

- All right, Mr Historical Facts.

It was me.
- Come on, then.

- Don't...
- No! Cos what do you expect?

When you're all like, "Oh, well
William Beswick did good too."

What, cos he paid for some museums and
that? Yeah, yeah.

No, cos I would have been dead
impressed

while I was chained up in the bottom
of his boat.

- Kelly Jo...
- No, cos that's where I would have
been, miss.

Make no mistake.

And if you want that name on your
chest,

you are as bad as the people that let
him do it.

Worse even, cos you don't care.

You don't care about no-one but
yourself.

- SHE SOBS

- Sorry, miss.

- OK, yeah, I'll let her know as soon
as she gets back.

Thanks, Jamilah.

Right.

Well, I probably shouldn't be telling
you this,

but the LEA have agreed to fund your
place, Danny.

- Danny, that is great news!

- So, I got in?

- Well, I guess that depends.

- Police are here.

- Sir...

- In there, Lewis.

Officer.

This is for you.

- You don't know who it belongs to?

- No idea whose it is.

- One of yours must have dropped it.

- That's what we thought, isn't it, Mr
Casey?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's...

Yeah, that's exactly what we thought,
yeah.

- Well, I'll need to take a statement.
- Sure.

Can you give me a minute?

Very last chance.

So, where were we?

- You've got another week of
detentions for sneaking off,

you do know that, right?

You can use it to make up for the work
that you've missed out on.

- OK, miss.

Miss?
- Mm?
- I reckon you were a banging mum.

- This is good.

Danny, has it ever occurred to you
that maybe I do have your back?

Just not in the way you want.

I'm not your mate.

I'm here to get the best out of you.

- Does Miss Campbell have to know
about the weed?

- She's had a hard enough day as it
is.

But, Danny, when this place does open,

I don't want to see you back here
again. OK?

- HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

- You were never going to tell the
police, were you?

- I told you.

I know what I'm doing.

- Sir! I have just been sent here by
Mr Guthrie, the fascist!

Oh, my God, I'm actually going to
scream.

- You just did. You just did, Kelly
Jo.

Come on, you bundle of joy. Let's go.
My office.

- How are you finding it?
- Yeah, all right.

- Yeah? Good.

- Hey.

- Ah, I'm glad you could join us,
Shola.

We're just carrying on with the
soundtracks for the short films.

- Thank you.

Hi.
- Where have you been?

- I'll tell you later.

What have I missed?

- Only my mum being a total cringe,
planning on shaming herself

by crashing the governors' meeting.

And hating on Miss Campbell just cos
she already bought the uniform.

Fill this bit in.

- PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

- Mr Guthrie is very upset.

- Yeah, well, he's racist, isn't it?

- You destroyed school property.

- Yeah, and it was a whole classroom
of wrong,

so why are you actually shouting at
me?
- I'm not shouting.

You made your point last week

and there's been big changes in
response to it.

But this? You've gone too far.

- Yeah, well, he's racist, though.

- You have just done a week in
detention

and now you've got yourself another
one,

but is it going to make any
difference?

How many times have we been here?

It's the same story. All the time!

You're confrontational, you're
aggressive, you're disruptive.

I have told you before, you are
heading rapidly towards exclusion.

- OK!

OK. Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

Can we just skip to the rest of it?
I'm dead tired now.

- Rest of what?
- Well, you say I could get thrown out

and then I tell you, like, I'm upset
cos my dad hasn't phoned me

in ages or whatever. And then you say,

"OK, Kelly Jo, well, my door's always
open, isn't it?"

And then I say, "Yeah, well, see you
later, then, sir.

"Thank you so much for today. Bye!"

- Sit down now!

- I was only joking.

- I'm running out of options, Kelly
Jo.

Violent behaviour now means you go to
the behavioural unit.

- Sir, you don't mean that.

You're just trying to scare me, aren't
you, Sir?
- Am I?

- Just through there on the right,
please.

Actually, just leave them here. Thank
you.

Hello. I did not expect to be feasting
my eyes

on your boxers today.
- What?
- Your wife left them at your desk.

- Thanks. Really good of you to bring
them all the way here

instead of just letting me know they
were in the office.

- You're welcome.

Everything OK?
- Everything's fine.

- This dropped out, by the way.

Are you sure everything's OK?

- Thanks again.

- YELLING:
- Dan! One more mistake. Oh, my God!
Move!

"One more mistake," he said.

What? One more mistake and I'm going
to the BU? Well, fine! Do it!

Be the worst mistake he ever made, and
do you know what he said to me?

He said...
- Shola was talking.

- Right, so Miss Campbell might be
like all up in your business

the whole time, but at least she
listens.

At least she's trying to make a
difference.

- And I don't agree with her on the
specifics of the uniform,

but the racist name had to go.

- His mum was making out like no-one
wants the uniform.

We can't let Mrs Walters ruin
everything.

- Well, what are we supposed to do?

Have yous tried talking my mum out of
summat she's got her mind set on?

- Well, I was thinking - if she can
crash the governors' meeting,

why can't we?
- Yeah, yeah.

- It's not how I'd leave the classroom
for the first teacher in tomorrow.

- It won't happen again.

I did everything that I could for Mrs
Charles.

There's no way I could have known that
anything was seriously wrong.

- Well, as long as you know what
happened, that's all that matters.

- Right, I've washed up, I have filled
the fridge up

and I have flung that smelly bag of
rubbish.

- I mean, that was my laundry, but
never mind!

- Yeah, well, it's probably only
halfway down the wheelie bin.

Sorry!

- Oh, Janeece, thanks for everything.

- Look, yous are all going to be OK,
you know.
- Yeah.

Yeah, we're going to be OK, aren't we,
hey?
- Yeah.

- Right, well, I need to go. Can't
keep Nana Bryant waiting.

- Right, so what do I owe you?

- A cheeky voddy next time I'm in
town.

- Oh, aye. When's that going to be?

- I don't know. I mean, even without
Chlo, I do miss this place.

And don't you forget - W-W-D-C.

- W-W-D-C.

What would do Chlo? Come here.

I love you, darling. Thank you.

- CAR HORN BEEPS

- Right, come here, you two.

Give me cuddles!

Hey, and you be good for Daddy.

- What do you say?

- Thank you!

- See you later.

- # Life may take you by surprise

# Live each day as it comes

# Who are you?

# Do you know yet?

# Feel every waking minute... #

Cheers.

Nicky, please.

As a colleague, I am asking you,
please don't do this.

- You can see how many people agree
with me.

- I have got massive ideas for this
school, but I can't do my job

unless I can show that I've got the
community behind me.

- I do three jobs, Miss Campbell, and
I do them all

without anybody behind me.

- Miss, it's Dean and Danny. It's
going off again.

Your Preston's fighting an' all.
- You what?

- Well, where are they?
- Preston?

- Just so you know, miss, some of us
are on your side.

Kai!

- Oh, wow.

- Introducing newly improved Waterloo
Road!

- CHEERING

What?!

- Take it away.

- # Top down in the summer... #

Brilliant. Brilliant!

# ..Dreaming dreams of where you wanna
get to in fifteen years

# These words were always yours

# And you were always ion my mind

# There's a million things you wanna
say

# Can I help you figure out a way?

# It takes a little conversation... #

- Sorry, Mum.

- # ..To remind you that we'll never
fade away

# Won't fade away, won't fade away

# It takes a little conversation

# To remind you that we'll never fade
away... #

Go on, Danny!

# ..To remind you that we'll never
fade away

# Won't fade away, won't fade away

# Won't fade away, won't fade away! #

I think that the pupils have seen my
report.

The bit at the end that says that kids
will embrace anything.

It's us that struggle.

Let's look to the future.

CHEERING

Danny. Congratulations.

I heard you got in.

Well done.

Nicky...
- Just leave me, please.

- Look, I know that you don't agree
with this.

- It's not that I don't agree.

I just...

I can't... It's just one thing too
many.

I can't...

- Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey.

Talk to me.

SHE SOBS

- I'm on the bones of my arse.

I pull together enough to make it
through the week

and then there's another email,

there's another school trip,

there's a Christmas party.

Bloody uniform!

- I'm so sorry. I had no idea.
- Well, of course you didn't.

Nobody does, because I don't let them.

Because I don't want my kids going
without.

Because I don't want them worrying, so
of course you've no idea.

You've no idea what it's like being a
single mum to two teenagers

who want stuff all the time!

Lucky you.

- KNOCK AT DOOR

Sir?

You know that essay?

- You still not worked it out, Weever?

- No, I've done it.

- I'll see you here tomorrow.

- Sir.

- I mean, it's supposed to say, "What
would Chlo do?" but...

- Poor Janeece!
- Yeah.

- Dad, what will we do?

Mum did everything for us.

- Hey, we're going to be OK.

Everything's going to be all right.

- I suppose I'll have to buy them now
you've put them on.

- That's not what you say about all
the going-out stuff

you send off for.
- That's different.

- I don't know why you had to make all
that fuss, Mum.

Money's not that tight.

- Wipe your feet.

- Ahem.

- Oh, Neil. I heard about your
classroom.

Kelly Jo has been appropriately
punished.

She is a prime candidate for the BU.

- But in the meantime, she'll still be
in my lesson, of course.

- I have to apologise.

I think that I have made it harder for
you.

For everyone, probably.

- Yeah, well, let's just hope it
works.

- I need people who remember that the
old school wasn't all bad

and that the new one's not going to be
all good.

Nuance.

I'm very lucky to have a teacher

with your experience who can handle
that.

Thank you.

- Room for one more?
- Yeah.

I heard that you did good with Danny
today.

- Well, me and Joe.

He just needed a little bit of leaning
on, that's all.

- Yeah, so I heard.

Remind me not to get on your bad side.

- It's too late for that.

I mean, you've already gazumped me out
of the headship.

- Oh.

Right.

Well, you know what you can do, don't
you?

You could go somewhere else.

- Mm. Nah.

I'm still after your job.

- Right.

Right.

Well, come and have a go if you think
you're hard enough.

And that is fighting talk.

- Ahem.

- What?

I am very busy and he is very married,
so don't even start.

- I don't think he's that married.

He's moved out of the home.

- Are you kidding?

I don't care.

He could be stood outside my house
with a banner on

saying "available" and I still
wouldn't go there, OK?

- OK. OK.

- OK.
