0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Dockbridge High, a school just like yours.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07For two years our cameras have followed day-to-day life here.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10There have been highs and lows.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11HE YELLS
0:00:11 > 0:00:14We return for another year to find out how these talented teachers
0:00:14 > 0:00:17continue to excite and inspire a generation of
0:00:17 > 0:00:20young, eager minds at this most ordinary of schools.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23SHE SCREAMS

0:00:27 > 0:00:29BELL RINGS

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Martin from Year Ten is the only pupil to have dressed up.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Hey, guys.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Fortunately he's not alone,
0:00:43 > 0:00:47because for English teacher Mr Capp it's the highlight of the year.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Oh! Nice threads, Martin.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Ah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54World Book Day is going to be sick.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I've been planning this costume for 14 hours, 364 days.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Skills!
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Who are you meant to be, sir?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04As if you don't know already!
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Here's a little clue.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Get it?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Mr Darcy?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14From Pride and Prejudice?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16ALL: Oh! Yeah!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- No idea.- Nope.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Why is he so wet?
0:01:22 > 0:01:23BELL RINGS
0:01:25 > 0:01:29In form time, Year Ten tutor Mrs Mark is also
0:01:29 > 0:01:31excited about World Book Day.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Good morning, everyone.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Good morning, Mrs Mark.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Now, today we're going to have a wonderful time celebrating books.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Yes, there's something for everyone when it comes to books.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Lovely historical novels like War and Peace.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49That's over 1,000 pages long.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52There's also books on bird-watching.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Super-cool.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56And books about love.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yes, that's right.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Romance novels can help you a lot with your own feelings and emotions.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Oh, my days.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Books can help you understand the sorts of emotions involved in,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11say, I don't know...
0:02:11 > 0:02:12being a teenager?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16As can poems about love.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- They're my favourites. - I don't like where this is going.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22When I first met Mr Mark, that's little Marky's daddy,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26we wrote romantic poems together all the time.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30In fact, I'm lucky enough to have one here.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31LAUGHTER
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Who wants to hear it?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- We'd love to, Miss.- Wonderful!
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Now, first I'll need a volunteer to read Mr Mark's parts. Um...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Purely at random, Mark! You can do it. Up you come.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, do I have to?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50We used to read a line out at a time. It was so adorable.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I'll go first.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54SHE CLEARS THROAT
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I love your handsome face.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You're my son, my moon, my sky.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05I love your fine, strong jaw, and your splendid feminine...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I ain't saying that!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Mr Mark always loved my thighs.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11LAUGHTER
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'll read on.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You're my dream man.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16You're all that I seek.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Read on, Marky.- Yeah, Marky.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Let us cement our love with a great big kiss on the cheek.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Oh, go on, then.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Mmm!
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Oh!
0:03:29 > 0:03:30LAUGHTER
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Ironically, that's how his father reacted
0:03:34 > 0:03:36when it came to the kissing bit.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38SHE LAUGHS
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Hmm.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44In English, Mr Capp is celebrating books by explaining
0:03:44 > 0:03:48one of the greatest romances of English literature.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55#swoon, #romance, #yougetme?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Why do you keep doing that, sir?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00MR CAPP LAUGHS
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Banter! It's funny, Billy, cos you totes know why.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06King of irony right here!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I'm obviously Mr Darcy, yeah? Jumps in the lake?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Elizabeth Bennet gets hella wild for him when he gets wet?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18We still don't know what you're going on about, sir.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20You love it, right?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25So, the Bennets. I'm talking five sisters, yeah?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I'm talking pushy mum, I'm talking marrying a rich guy.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Sound familiar, anyone?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Hmm? Hmm?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Five sisters. I mean, it's basically the Kardashians.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37It's totes the same story!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Yeah, but the Bennets weren't rich like the Kardashians, were they?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- No.- Were they always taking selfies of themselves?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45No!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Were their children called North, East, South and West?- No, but...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Were they married to R&B stars? - Well, kind of. I mean...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- No.- So, how are they like the Kardashians?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Would this happen to the Kardashians?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- No.- Would this?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07- No.- Does this?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10No.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Banter!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Break time, and even the reception staff are getting
0:05:16 > 0:05:19into the spirit for World Book Day.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Hello?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Ah! And welcome to Hogwarts, muggle. - Yeah. Hi.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I need a permission slip for the school trip next week.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29A-ha!
0:05:29 > 0:05:34I cannot give you a form unless who I am, you correctly guess.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- You're quite obviously Harry... - I'm not finished.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Guess wisely, for if you wrongly speak
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I cannot give you the form you seek.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- I know who you are. You're Harry... - Hold on, hold on.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Cos there is a lot more.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- I am a character from a book, but which one? Take a closer look.- Oh.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Hang on. There's a form right here.- Cheers!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Harry Potter.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04She didn't have a clue.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11In citizenship, Joy teaches everyone about her favourite book,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13the Little Book of Relaxation.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17As I was saying, it's entirely thanks to this book
0:06:17 > 0:06:20that I retain my positive outlook.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23And calm demeanour.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I know most of the book by heart. Let's see.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28It goes, "Maintain...
0:06:29 > 0:06:33"..a relaxed outlook...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36"..by never...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40"..raising your voice!"
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- You don't seem very relaxed. - I'm very relaxed!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Right, what's the next bit? Oh...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You've made me lose my train of thought now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Let me get the Little Book of Relaxation. Hold on.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Right.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Where is it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05I put it in my bag this morning! Right, who stole it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Who stole the Little Book of Relaxation?- No-one did, Miss.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12If you had it this morning, it must be somewhere in this room.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Everyone help me find it! Right, move out of my way.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22You're all going to be so calm when we find this book!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Everyone empty your bags! Give me that.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Right! Well, stolen! It's now a criminal matter.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Hello? Security, yes, it's me. Yeah, it's Joy. It's happened again.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43The Little Book of Relaxation, come quick!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46What do you mean I'm wasting your time?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Hello? Hello?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Hold on, Miss, is this it?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Oh.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Well done, Joy.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00You've caused a right scene there.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Classic Joy.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I'm just going to get in here before I ruin everything again.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- You haven't ruined anything, Miss. - Joy!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Maybe there's something in here that could help.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Drama next, and Head of Arts - not including actual art -
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Mr Christopher, can't wait to share his favourite book with the class.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36This is going to make your World Book Day.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37HE CLEARS THROAT
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Oh, don't look at me. This is too embarrassing.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- My costume's cray and you're all going to laugh.- We won't laugh, sir.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49No, it's OK, I give you permission to laugh. This is hilarious.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Comedy gold. Ready?
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Ah!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Don't you wear that every day, sir? What book are you meant to be?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Duh!
0:09:01 > 0:09:07Orange dance top. Hair parted in the middle. Embarrassing.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12I'm me ten years ago. Look how much I've changed.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Today I'll be reading from one of the most important literary
0:09:15 > 0:09:17works of our time.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21My autobiography. Mr Christopher: Self Taught Talent.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25You Can't Learn It, So Don't Try.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Chapter One: Born With Jazz Hands.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Sir, sir, sir.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Martin? How dare you interrupt this important literary performance.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Sir...- Don't push it, Martin.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40When I was born,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43all the doctors in the hospital had to leave the room...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- I really need to... - ..because they were so jealous.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- I cried in a perfectly pitched high C.- No, listen, sir...
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Other babies, Martin,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56didn't want to sit next to me at rhyme time,
0:09:56 > 0:10:01because my Twinkle Twinkle Little Star actions were dazzling.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Listen, sir... - All right, that's enough.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05What in the world could be more important than me
0:10:05 > 0:10:07reading a book about myself?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10There's been a water leak in your office, sir,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12and everybody's GCSE coursework's been ruined.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13It's a disaster.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I didn't crawl like other babies.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24My first step developed into a perfectly executed pirouette.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27The best books are the ones about me, so people tell me.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Yeah, but what happened about the GCSE coursework?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Chapter Two: Tap Dancing At Six Months Old.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Lunchtime, and librarian Mrs Winstone is not enjoying World Book
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Day as much as expected.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50This is a big day for all our family.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51And you do this?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56You think it's fun to come into my house dressed as Dumbledore?
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- I do not care for the Harry Potter series.- I'm not Dumbledore.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Then what's with Dobby the House Elf over there?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09He's a hobbit.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Then what's with Lucius Malfoy over there?- He's Legolas.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17This is exactly why I don't like those books! They're all the same!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Hagrid, show them out.- I'm Ron. - Don't you start.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28I'm more of a Where's Wally? fan myself.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29There he is.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36In the last lesson of the day, Year Ten are about to
0:11:36 > 0:11:39meet design and technology teacher Mr Spittle.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40They just don't know it yet.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Oh! Oh, hello.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Welcome to the creation station.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Where the only item on the curriculum is wood fun.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Now, I've got some worksheets on my desk somewhere.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Er... Ah!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01There. There we go.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Now, I missed out on lunch, so does anyone mind if I eat mine
0:12:07 > 0:12:09whilst you work?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And, of course, feel free to eat your snacks, too.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- We're allowed to eat food in class? Amazing.- Off you go.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20And enjoy your adventure to the wonderful world of woodwork.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Don't mind me.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Excuse me.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Yeah, cop hold of this. Right.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Ah!
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I thank you.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Sir, why are you eating cereal for lunch?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- THROUGH MOUTHFUL:- Well, basically, this was my breakfast.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55But at break I had some bread and some brie.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Mmm.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59And I basically forgot.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Bonkers, isn't it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09And so ends another successful World Book Day, as the pupils
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and staff go home with books in their hearts.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16There's Wally! Wally! I found him!
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- Do you think we're ever going to get a normal teacher at this school?- No!
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Wally!
