This is Dockbridge High, a school just like yours.

0:00:020:00:04

For two years, our cameras have followed day-to-day life here.

0:00:040:00:07

There have been highs and lows.

0:00:070:00:09

We return for another year to find out how these talented

0:00:110:00:14

teachers continue to excite and inspire a generation of young,

0:00:140:00:18

eager minds at this most ordinary of schools.

This is Class Dismissed.

It's Wednesday and Year 10 start the day with English where Mr Capp

0:00:320:00:35

appears to be going through some sort of rap battle phase.

0:00:350:00:39

Let's get ready to Rumbleeeee!

0:00:400:00:45

Kicking it old-school stylie. Holla!

0:00:450:00:48

What's happening?

0:00:480:00:50

Now, today, we're going to unbox the fresh vocals of my fam,

0:00:500:00:56

the lyrical gangster... No, not Stormzy,

0:00:560:00:59

it's big Willie Shakespeare!

0:00:590:01:01

Epic rap battle time.

0:01:010:01:04

-ALL GROAN

-Seriously, kill me.

0:01:040:01:06

I knew you'd be ready to spill some rhymings.

0:01:060:01:10

-What did you just say, sir?

-Tahj, sweet volunteering.

0:01:100:01:14

Tough luck, mate.

0:01:140:01:16

RAP MUSIC PLAYS

0:01:160:01:17

I'm going to rap some Shakespeare

0:01:170:01:19

and you're going to holla back when you're ready, T-Dizzle.

0:01:190:01:21

But be warned, I'm pretty boss at rap battles.

0:01:210:01:26

Uh-huh-huh, yeah.

0:01:260:01:28

-RAPS:

-# I'm Mr Capp And I'm here to tell you

0:01:310:01:34

# Billy Shakey's A hustler like a kangaroo

0:01:340:01:37

# In iambic pentameter He pops all his lyrics

0:01:370:01:39

# His use of the English language Is jolly terrific

0:01:390:01:41

# He lived in old times But his words are relevant

0:01:410:01:44

# I'm going to the shop to get myself an elephant. #

0:01:440:01:48

Mic drop.

0:01:490:01:50

-RAPS:

-# Your boy likes Shakespeare Your boy likes lyrics

0:01:530:01:55

# But he always try and to teach us with gambits and gimmicks

0:01:550:01:58

# We like plain speaking No need to try a witty

0:01:580:02:01

# Shakespeare say it better in this little ditty. #

0:02:010:02:04

Whoa!

0:02:040:02:05

He's so good!

0:02:050:02:07

# Listen to the many But speak to a few

0:02:080:02:11

# Hear them opinions But let them cut through

0:02:110:02:14

# No disrespect, sir I ain't being rude

0:02:140:02:16

# I'm just quoting Hamlet Polonius too. #

0:02:160:02:19

CLASS: Oh!

0:02:190:02:20

Yeah, man. That was amazing.

0:02:200:02:23

Did you just summarise Hamlet

0:02:240:02:27

when Polonius tells Laertes to stop showing off and just be himself?

0:02:270:02:31

Yeah. It's a good speech.

0:02:310:02:32

Epic truth bomb!

0:02:350:02:37

We cannae take much more truth, Captain,

0:02:370:02:40

the ship won't take it! Rap bants.

0:02:400:02:44

-I don't know what to say.

-BELL RINGS

0:02:450:02:48

In reception, part-time teaching assistant

0:02:480:02:51

and full-time dad Mr Nappy arrives late. Having been up all night

0:02:510:02:55

with screaming triplets, he's finally got his babies off to sleep.

0:02:550:02:59

-Shh!

-WHISPERS:

-Could you all keep it down, please? They're sleeping.

0:02:590:03:04

I love babies. Can I just take a little peek?

0:03:040:03:08

Oh, of course. But...

0:03:080:03:12

if y'all wake them, then y'all will be the one who has to spend

0:03:120:03:16

the next six hours holding them

0:03:160:03:19

at a 45 degree angle whilst waggling Mr Tootsie at them

0:03:190:03:24

so that they don't scream at a volume louder than a jet engine.

0:03:240:03:29

Do you still want a little peek?

0:03:300:03:32

Nope. I'm backing away now.

0:03:320:03:36

Shh!

0:03:360:03:38

BELL RINGS

0:03:420:03:44

Meanwhile, in science,

0:03:480:03:50

Mrs Stein uses custard to get Year 10 excited about physics.

0:03:500:03:54

Right. Now, forget everything you've ever known about learning science.

0:03:540:03:57

-Done.

-Excellent.

-Why are we out here, Miss?

0:03:570:04:00

Because of Newton's first law of motion.

0:04:000:04:02

Was that the answer you were looking for?

0:04:020:04:04

If the laws of inertia are correct,

0:04:040:04:05

if I spin this bucket round my head, the custard inside should

0:04:050:04:08

stay inside, but what will happen if the bucket stops spinning?

0:04:080:04:11

-The custard will fall out.

-But how do we know?

-It just will.

0:04:110:04:14

How do we know before conducting an experiment?

0:04:140:04:16

Because we know about gravity.

0:04:160:04:17

Just to be sure though, I need a volunteer.

0:04:170:04:20

Don't do it, please.

0:04:200:04:22

Yes, Martin. Come here. Right. Excellent.

0:04:220:04:25

Now, what I want you to do is spin the bucket round and round.

0:04:250:04:28

Now, what do we say, children?

0:04:280:04:30

-ALL: Stand back, we're doing science.

-Right.

0:04:300:04:32

Off you go, Martin. Spin, spin, spin.

0:04:320:04:35

Now spin that bucket round and round.

0:04:350:04:36

As you can see, the custard stays inside the bucket,

0:04:360:04:39

-but what happens if the bucket stops spinning?

-It's fairly obvious.

0:04:390:04:42

Well, let's just check, shall we? OK, and in three, two, one, stop.

0:04:420:04:46

Oh!

0:04:460:04:48

Well, now we know. Science in action. Well done, everyone.

0:04:490:04:52

-Tahj, clear him up, will you?

-What?

-Come on, everyone.

0:04:520:04:56

-Back to classroom.

-Me?

0:04:560:04:58

Break time and while Martin gets the custard out of his hair,

0:05:000:05:03

Mr Nappy is juggling both playground duty and nap time.

0:05:030:05:08

Shh!

0:05:090:05:10

Shhhh!

0:05:130:05:15

-BABIES CRY

-NO!

0:05:190:05:24

-Hush now, little ones.

-BELL RINGS

0:05:260:05:29

In art, Mr Rhomb starts with a lesson in camouflage.

0:05:340:05:38

Greetings.

0:05:450:05:47

I'm sitting here amongst you in order to appreciate more

0:05:470:05:50

fully the mundanity of teenage life.

0:05:500:05:53

-It's all right being a teenager, sir.

-Thank you, Emily.

0:05:530:05:56

What a wonderfully tepid observation.

0:05:560:05:59

Class, we are very fortunate to have a guest speaker with us today.

0:06:020:06:06

One of the region's most formidable artists, Billy's parent.

0:06:060:06:10

-Welcome, Billy's parent.

-Er, hi.

0:06:100:06:13

It's such an honour to have another artiste in our midst.

0:06:130:06:17

Tell me, what palette do you use when you are at work?

0:06:170:06:21

Well, I usually just use magnolia,

0:06:210:06:24

-but it sort of depends what the client wants.

-Phenomenal.

0:06:240:06:27

For too many years I have underappreciated linear colour.

0:06:280:06:31

Can you tell me if you use any equipment

0:06:320:06:34

when you are creating a piece?

0:06:340:06:36

Well, again, it depends what the client wants, but I usually just

0:06:360:06:39

carry around a bit of spare tape, a roller, that kind of thing.

0:06:390:06:43

Mind-blowing.

0:06:430:06:45

Bringing the mundane into the heavenly.

0:06:450:06:48

-And where could we see your art?

-Oh, well, I actually painted

0:06:490:06:51

Jasmine's mum's living room the other month.

0:06:510:06:53

It was great, sir. Really nice.

0:06:530:06:56

Just fascinating. Habitation interiors.

0:06:560:07:00

For the benefit of the class, do you think we could see you in action?

0:07:000:07:04

Yeah, sure. Why not? Erm...

0:07:040:07:06

-Go.

-TIMER TICKS

0:07:100:07:12

An installation piece. Miraculous. I am in awe.

0:07:290:07:32

She just paints people's walls.

0:07:340:07:36

Installation pieces if you will, Bill.

0:07:390:07:40

Music next, and supply teacher Miss Davis is enjoying using

0:07:430:07:47

her wind instrument.

0:07:470:07:49

Make sure you're in a strong upright position,

0:07:490:07:52

take a deep breath

0:07:520:07:54

and simply blow away to your hearts content.

0:07:540:07:58

SHE BREAKS WIND

0:07:580:07:59

ALL GROAN

0:07:590:08:00

Miss, I can't reach the high notes.

0:08:000:08:03

Oh, I used to have that problem, Martin.

0:08:030:08:05

Until I realised all I needed to do was close my eyes

0:08:050:08:09

and believe I could do it.

0:08:090:08:10

BREAKS WIND

0:08:100:08:12

-C sharp if I'm not mistaken.

-Yep, very sharp.

-Right.

0:08:140:08:18

If we're all ready. A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four.

0:08:180:08:22

SHE BREAKS WIND

0:08:220:08:25

BREAKS WIND

MISS DAVIS FARTS REPEATEDLY

0:08:320:08:35

THEY GROAN

0:08:380:08:39

Very good, class.

0:08:410:08:42

Although, whoever was playing the trombone was way off key.

0:08:420:08:45

BELL RINGS

0:08:450:08:47

It's lunchtime

0:08:470:08:48

and Year 8 pupils Molly and Tammy are cementing their friendship.

0:08:480:08:52

-I love your lunchbox. Let's do lunch swapsies.

-Yeah, OK, sure.

0:08:520:08:58

We are so B-F-F-I-D-S-T-F-I-A-B.

0:08:580:09:02

Best friends forever if destroyed still true for infinity and beyond.

0:09:020:09:06

Yes! Sandwiches are, like, totally my favourite.

0:09:110:09:15

No way! Crisps are, like, totally, like, my favourite-ist thing

0:09:150:09:19

in the whole wide space planet world!

0:09:190:09:21

Yeah, they're all right.

0:09:210:09:23

I don't believe it,

0:09:240:09:25

apples are, like, my totally favourite fruit beginning with A.

0:09:250:09:28

How did you know?

0:09:280:09:29

A pencil sharpener.

0:09:340:09:36

A tube of glitter.

0:09:360:09:39

A piece of paper with the word "sausages" written on it

0:09:390:09:43

and the drawing of a goldfish.

0:09:430:09:45

-She's called Marjorie.

-Is that it?

0:09:450:09:49

I know, right? You are welcome.

0:09:490:09:52

But where's the food?

0:09:520:09:55

There's no food in there, silly!

0:09:550:09:58

BELL RINGS

0:10:020:10:05

In the afternoon,

0:10:050:10:06

librarian Mrs Winston has finally decided to retire...

0:10:060:10:09

Hey, readers, I need some privacy, capiche?

0:10:090:10:13

..and pass on her empire to a young apprentice.

0:10:130:10:16

Sometimes you have to know when to give it up.

0:10:160:10:19

This is a young librarian's game. It's time for fresh blood.

0:10:190:10:23

-Ain't it, Ronald?

-Yeah.

0:10:230:10:25

So I'm saying to myself, I need someone I know.

0:10:250:10:29

Someone who'll protect the library, you see what I'm saying?

0:10:290:10:32

-Sorry, no.

-Someone who'll treat it like their own home, Martin.

0:10:340:10:39

Someone will respect the no fizzy drinks near the books rule.

0:10:390:10:42

Someone very close to me now.

0:10:420:10:45

-Oh, you mean...?

-Yeah.

-..Ron?

-No, you!

0:10:450:10:49

Now, pay attention! Cos running this joint ain't no piece of cake.

0:10:490:10:52

Here is my most prized possession.

0:10:530:10:56

It belongs to you now. The stamp.

0:10:560:11:01

-Now repeat after me, don't be overdue.

-Don't be overdue.

0:11:010:11:06

He's a natural. Good luck, kiddo. You're the boss now.

0:11:060:11:10

Come on, Ron, it's time to leave. We've a plane to catch.

0:11:100:11:14

Hey, Ron, you're staying with me.

0:11:140:11:16

What? You can't be serious!

0:11:160:11:19

I'm afraid I am, Miss. My library, my rules. Ron stays.

0:11:190:11:24

Say hello to the family, won't you, sweetheart?

0:11:270:11:29

-Nice lady that.

-Hm.

0:11:330:11:35

BELL RINGS

0:11:390:11:41

In the last lesson of the day,

0:11:410:11:43

Year 10 are with Mr Konnundrum

0:11:430:11:45

who's got more on his mind than maths.

0:11:450:11:47

So, if a man, or a woman,

0:11:500:11:54

but in this case probably a man,

0:11:540:11:58

joins a dating website without fully understanding how it all works,

0:11:580:12:03

because it's very confusing with all the different buttons and widgets

0:12:030:12:08

and other complicated tech-fangled things on his smartphone, hm!

0:12:080:12:13

And somehow, through no fault of his own,

0:12:150:12:18

instead of arranging a date with a lady...

0:12:180:12:22

..accidentally books an emergency plumber.

0:12:240:12:27

LAUGHTER

0:12:270:12:28

Should the man, A, apologise to the plumber for wasting his time

0:12:280:12:34

and send him on his way, or B,

0:12:340:12:37

go on a romantic dinner with the plumber anyway because he's already

0:12:370:12:42

paid for the deposit on the table and wouldn't want to disappoint?

0:12:420:12:46

Just explain to the plumber that you booked him by mistake.

0:12:480:12:51

-I'm sure he'd understand, sir.

-You're right. Thanks, Tahj.

0:12:510:12:55

You best be off.

0:12:560:12:58

At least I saved some money on the dinner. You're right, Tahj.

0:13:010:13:05

-By the way, there's still an 80 quid call-out charge.

-Oh. Of course.

0:13:050:13:12

-Quiet reading!

-BELL RINGS

0:13:130:13:16

It's the end of another day at Dockbridge High
