Just leave Aidan to me. We're going to have a chat. It's going to be 244 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,380 beneficial. All right. Well, can I have him back, then? Later. 245 00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:48,140 peaceful protest, miss. We want our voices to be heard. We're not doing 246 00:13:48,140 --> 00:13:52,660 wrong. He is labelling us second -class citizens. 247 00:13:52,940 --> 00:13:57,720 Us and them, A and B, clever and thick, university and who cares? 248 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,740 It's segregation, innit? 249 00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:01,180 Okay, 250 00:14:01,380 --> 00:14:02,680 okay, you have been heard. 251 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,320 Right? Thank you very much. 252 00:14:04,660 --> 00:14:06,740 Well, let's break this up now and get back to your lessons. 253 00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:09,760 Miss Campbell, Mr Mead and I will have a look at your demands. 254 00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:12,100 Right? We'll let you know our decision later. 255 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,120 We can't fail Ros, fine. 256 00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:23,400 But we can't fail students like Michaela either. She felt excluded. That's where 257 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,720 all of this has come from. No, this has come from Michaela's desire to cause 258 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840 trouble. And why do you think she wants to cause trouble? You made her feel 259 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,480 inferior. I don't think so. 260 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,720 Chris, you did. 261 00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:36,440 By not letting her on that scheme, that is like a vote of no confidence. How can 262 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,160 we have confidence in grades that consistently low? Do you know what? 263 00:14:39,180 --> 00:14:40,740 Intelligence isn't always about grades. 264 00:14:41,060 --> 00:14:42,800 No, in an ideal world, it's not. 265 00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:47,100 But grades are important to universities, and this is about 266 00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:49,300 Michaela want to go to university? 267 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,260 No, she's being disruptive and destructive. 268 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,420 She's being creative and assertive. 269 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,360 Aidan, what are you doing here? 270 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:01,380 Nothing. Well, it can't be nothing, it must be something. 271 00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:06,500 I just wanted to know why you called me Fat Miss. 272 00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:10,860 I didn't call you fat, Aidan. 273 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,300 I said I was concerned about your health. 274 00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:15,180 I get low blood sugar. 275 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,740 I need to eat. 276 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,300 I can't help how I am. 277 00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,880 Look, I think that you can, if you wanted to. 278 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,000 If you just went to a few more of the sports classes, maybe cut back on the 279 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000 snacks. 280 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,860 Aidan, Camilla will come and find you later, OK? We can talk about it then. 281 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,720 you when I need you. 282 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,700 I want you to run the school. You need to complain. 283 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,160 I'm being bullied. 284 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,520 And his father's teacher called me Scamble. 285 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,480 She called me fighting in front of all the other kids. And she says it's my 286 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,480 fault. 287 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,100 I need to talk to you, Mum. 288 00:16:00,780 --> 00:16:02,700 I opened up the scheme. I suggested. 289 00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:04,380 Philip's on it. 290 00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:09,100 Philip? Our most middle class pupil from a university family. 291 00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:10,380 Ros isn't, though, is she? 292 00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:13,990 She's a genuinely bright, working -class kid. I've got a mix, Rachel. 293 00:16:14,210 --> 00:16:16,010 Oh, come on, Chris, it's pretty token. 294 00:16:16,650 --> 00:16:20,070 What about our underprivileged kids? They should be getting the advantages 295 00:16:20,070 --> 00:16:21,970 pupils like Philip get for nothing. 296 00:16:22,490 --> 00:16:25,850 Kim, I hear what you're saying, but the simple fact is not all our kids are cut 297 00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:26,850 out for Oxbridge. 298 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:28,730 No, I know, and I'm not saying that. 299 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,020 But it's our duty to nurture any ambitions that any of them might have. 300 00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:36,040 but there's a difference between nurturing ambition and encouraging false 301 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680 dreams. One is kind, the other is cruel. 302 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,880 No, one is egalitarian and one isn't. 303 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,640 The scheme has got to be opened up properly for all university entrants. 304 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,680 mind all this Oxbridge elitist stuff. 305 00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:54,280 OK, OK, that's enough. We need to set up a process of application to get on this 306 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,680 scheme. And then all the kids who want to be considered can have a shot at it. 307 00:16:58,940 --> 00:16:59,980 OK. Right. 308 00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:04,319 I need to get back to these interviews. It would be really great if I can trust 309 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:05,319 you two to deal with it. 310 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,520 This is our food technology department. 311 00:17:17,099 --> 00:17:19,099 May I help you? Oh, you, Mrs Fry? 312 00:17:22,619 --> 00:17:23,619 And you are? 313 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,400 Adam Fleet, head chef. I'm being interviewed today. 314 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,160 Ruby. Can I put a face to the name that the head and I will be discussing later? 315 00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:36,560 Ah. Thanks very much, Andrea. I can look after Mr Fleet now, if that's all 316 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,560 right. Sure, no problem. 317 00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:38,860 Interesting school. 318 00:17:39,820 --> 00:17:42,780 Challenging. I expect you have quite a lot of diet -related behavioural 319 00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:45,820 problems. ADHD, ADD, violence, depression, aggression. 320 00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:49,440 Well, you know a lot about children and behaviour, do you? Well, I used to be in 321 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,820 your shoes before I started chefing. 322 00:17:52,250 --> 00:17:54,770 What was your background, Mr Fleet, if I don't mind me asking? Of course not. 323 00:17:54,970 --> 00:17:58,610 It's been quite a journey. I began as a teacher through technology, like you. 324 00:17:58,870 --> 00:18:02,350 Right. But I always wanted the buzz of a kitchen, so I left and trained as a 325 00:18:02,350 --> 00:18:06,030 chef. Then I decided I missed working with the kids, so I started as a youth 326 00:18:06,030 --> 00:18:07,030 worker in my spare time. 327 00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:08,550 Disadvantaged teens, you know, I love it. 328 00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:11,570 And now I want to get back to working with them full -time, but yeah, I think 329 00:18:11,570 --> 00:18:14,290 there's a lot we can do here, a lot of improvements we could make. 330 00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:18,130 Yeah, that's absolutely fascinating. Listen, why don't you pop in with me? 331 00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:19,310 tell you a bit more about it. 332 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,320 No, no, don't worry about your interview, because we'll be running late 333 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,040 If you sit in on my next class, then you'll get a chance to meet the children 334 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,060 well. Well, that would be great, but are you sure that's OK? 335 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:33,420 Oh, absolutely, yes, my pleasure. Maybe just for a few minutes. Yeah, great, 336 00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:34,500 thank you. OK, please. 337 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,260 Interviews. We have to interview to get on the scheme. 338 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,860 Hey, you're always going to get in, aren't you? 339 00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:41,200 It doesn't make any difference to you. 340 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,880 Oh, well, we've done it! 341 00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:47,240 Look, this is exactly what we wanted, the APU scheme open to anyone. 342 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,280 Look, it's just political correctness. All right, box ticking. 343 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,640 They're wasting their time. Yeah, too right they are. Come on, we'll all do 344 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:54,920 It'll take them all week to get to us. 345 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,480 I don't think so. 346 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,260 Nope, definitely not me. Sorry. 347 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,320 Well, you will, won't you? We can't stop now. 348 00:19:01,820 --> 00:19:03,380 Oh, but I hate interviews.
