0:00:02 > 0:00:04Mum, please, just don't leave us.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06It's not always about you Jodi,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08I need some time for me and all. Go on.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12- Please don't, they'll split us up! - Social Services will try to keep you together.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16- If you call them I'll take Liam and I'll run away, I mean it!- OK, OK.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I'll resign.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'll hand my notice in first thing tomorrow.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23If you really are sorry then prove it.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28We're being inspected tomorrow and you know what, Richard? I can't wait.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- You'll fail tomorrow. - Do you want to bet on that?
0:00:31 > 0:00:36Get a bag, your stuff and Liam's, toothbrush, clothes, whatever,
0:00:36 > 0:00:37you're coming back to mine.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I took your advice and let go of my anger.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41What, you do listen to me occasionally?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43You have your moments.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Karen?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Hi.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Are you sneaking out on me? - I wasn't sneaking out.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I didn't want to wake you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Last night was...great.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Great is good.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I just couldn't sleep,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- I'm worrying about the inspection today.- Oh, it'll be fine.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It's a good school. You know, regardless of what Whitman says.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54He's creepy and he's just stirring up trouble.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- If we fail...- It won't.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01If we do, he'll use it as an excuse to close us down.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05A lot of people will lose their jobs, that'll be my fault.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Well, that's not going to happen, so you get yourself in there
0:02:08 > 0:02:10and do what you do any other day.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Your job.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Which you're bloody good at!
0:02:18 > 0:02:19You got a nice smile.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Thank you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Mrs Allen, it's Chris Mead again.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43It's really important that you call me as soon as you get this message.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I've made our beds
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and I've got Liam to pick up his toys and leave the room tidy. OK?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- I can't get hold of your mum. - She can't have got your messages.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Maybe her phone's not charged, or she's lost it.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's possible, but even so...
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Shouldn't we be getting in? We've got to take Liam to creche.- Scout.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Look...
0:03:04 > 0:03:07..it's not right that your mum does this kind of thing.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- She won't do it again. - That's not the point.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14It's the fact that she thought it was OK to leave you on your own in the first place.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Social Services need to know. - Please, don't.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- They'll take us into care and split us up.- They'll do what they think is necessary.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23You lied to me.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25You said you'd look after us.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I'm sorry Scout. Look, I've got to call them.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Morning.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Look, I'm glad I caught you. I wanted to apologise for... - Not interested.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51I just want to concentrate on today, see if we can undo some of the damage that you've done.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oi! What you doin'?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- We're being inspected!- What? - Think about it.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59The more we arse about, the school fails. No more school!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03No, div! No more this school. We'll just get split up and go to different ones.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- You're the div, Fisher!- Oi!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09That's enough boys. Today is not the day for that sort of thing!
0:04:09 > 0:04:10We've got an inspector visiting.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Tell 'em they can inspect this!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Kyle, enough! Look we all need to pull together.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19You sound like you really care, miss.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- About the future of this place. - Of course, I do.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Mmm, well not everyone does.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Like the person who was spilling things to the Local Authority.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Actually helping the people that want to close us down.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Ah, well, at least Kyle has the guts to come out
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and say that he wants the school to close.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Right, OK, yeah..
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Er, hello, can I...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK I'll call you back.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Oh, hello, Alison Drew, Schools' Inspector. Ms Fisher?- Karen, please.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Sorry, I wasn't expecting you quite so early.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59I always like to come early to get a feeling of the place. Is that a problem?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01No, not at all.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'm not here to catch you out.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Honest. I've read the file, so I know what's been going on.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Mr Whitman's version, of course.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Karen, I'm an independent observer.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Nothing you or Mr Whitman say, or have said,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16is going to colour my inspection.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20No, sure.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I'm here to objectively assess how this school runs under your management.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27No more, no less.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I then give my report to the Local Authority
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- and any decisions they come to, comes from them. Is that clear? - Crystal.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Good.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I can't believe he failed me.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Ah, what a loser!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51You haven't even passed your theory test. At least I can drive!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- The examiner didn't think so. - Get a car and I'll show you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Oh, yeah, cos I got one in my bag, actually.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Yeah, well, your dad's got one. Get me his keys.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00He's bluffing. He wouldn't dare.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05It's him who's being chicken.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'm in. Free Period.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Vicki, I'm really sorry.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I didn't know how you was going to react when I told you.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Are you all right?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Does Jess know?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yeah, she's been great.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It doesn't make it any easier though.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Is there anything I can do?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37No, thanks. I just thought I'd let you know.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Scout!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Just leave me alone. - Scout, it's important.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I've spoken Social Services.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56They're very concerned,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00so they're going to send someone here later to talk to you and Liam.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Well, I won't speak to 'em.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Oh, come one, you know that I had to do this.- No, you didn't.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- They'll help you. - I can't believe you did this.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10You need proper care.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11What do you know about care?!
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Scout!
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- Scout.- What's going on?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Scout's mum's disappeared with some bloke,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23left her and her brother on their own.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- So Scout and...- Liam.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Liam have been staying by themselves?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Er...no.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34No, they both stayed at mine last night.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Please tell me you didn't just say that?
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- Why didn't you call the social services?- I just did.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Why didn't you call them last night?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It was late, I thought her mum was going to come back.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- It was only ever going to be for one night, I'm sorry, OK?- Sorry?!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You'll be suspended over this!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I-I was trying to help them!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I wasn't just going to abandon them, was I?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Chris, we're being inspected today!
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Every other teacher in this school is working their backside off to help get through it
0:08:04 > 0:08:07and you land this in my lap?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Well, when the LA hear about it... - Do they have to?
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Of course they do!
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Alison's going to get wind and she's going to think I can't manage my staff!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Let's just get through the inspection
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and then we're going to have to tell her.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Alison Drew, Chris Mead, my Deputy Head.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Pleasure.- I hope so! Are you ready?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yes, come on in.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Right, Denzil,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39can you make sure Ms Drew gets some safety specs as well, please?
0:08:39 > 0:08:44As today we're doing rapid, exothermic oxidation,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- which is also known as? - ALL: Combustion!
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Excellent!
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I have to admit, they wasn't this excited last week when we did rust!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54No, well, obviously I chose the right week to visit.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59So? What are we seeing here?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's like, bonfire night, but smaller!
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Duh, it's like them cheap sparklers you get off the market, innit?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09OK, but can anybody give me a more scientific explanation?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10The iron is combusting.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Excellent and what's the oxidising agent? Scout?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19- Oxygen!- Brilliant!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25So, the oxygen and the iron need what else in order to...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Are you all right?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Your mum's not back yet?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35You'll be all right, you've got Mr Mead helping you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Just leave me alone, Denzil.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Vicki's trying to put on a brave face, but I know she's devastated.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yeah, she will be.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46How are you?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I want to do the right thing, I want to help.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50But she's got Ronan,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53the last thing they're going to want is me butting in.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Maybe, but it was your baby as well.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I don't even know how I feel.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It's not even sunk in.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I just don't want this to happen to Jess.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Maybe you should tell her that?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16We're talking, but...
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Yeah, well, be patient.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20What's happened is bound to be scary for Jess as well.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23But whatever you do,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25don't bottle it up.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27You can always come to me.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- D'you hear what I'm saying?- Yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35You can hug me, if you...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Heard you talking to someone this morning.- Hm-mm.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Sounded a lot like my Head Mistress.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I don't know what she was doing round that early?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Can't think. You must've been dreaming.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54It's good though, innit?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59BELL RINGING
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Well, that's Mr Mead done, onto Mr Clarkson.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Let me point you in the right direction.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Well done.- Thanks.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Scout?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16The social worker that's coming, she's called Bethany.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- She sounds really nice.- Fine.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I know you're upset and that you think I've let you down,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25but I'm just trying to do what's best for you and Liam, OK?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Thanks. Can I go now?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Sure.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm not sure about this.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Come on, it'll be a laugh. The School's closing anyway,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- we're done here.- Yeah, but... - Just do it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Mr Clarkson? English?- Yes.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Oh, hello, I'm Alison Drew.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- I'm going to be sitting in on your class.- Hi, er, come in.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Is it all right if I sit at the back?- Yeah, course.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Mum...please, just,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57just get back here now.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Or at least phone us.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05I can't believe you've just done this to us. How could you?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You're useless, Mum.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10You're totally useless!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Who can give me five words from the passage
0:12:38 > 0:12:41that best describe how the narrator is feeling?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Harry?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Shona, Rhona.- I'm Rhona!
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I'm Shona. I can't believe you don't know that yet!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59(LAUGHS) Of course, I do.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00That's my little joke!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Firming up the teacher/pupil bond.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Erm, Scout Allen?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14"Gwendolen, it is a terrible thing for a man to find out,
0:13:14 > 0:13:19"suddenly, that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth. Can you forgive me?"
0:13:19 > 0:13:23"I can. For I feel that you are sure to change."
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Scout! Where're you going?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40You haven't seen us, yeah? Swear you won't say anything!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- But you can't just leave.- SWEAR!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45All right, I swear.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Look...
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Take this.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00It's all I've got.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Thanks, Denz.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29All right?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Hiya.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Vicky told me this morning, what had happened.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Well, I can't believe how well she's handling it.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Are you OK?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44I'm fine.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47And the baby?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Taking it easy?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Why are you so interested? - I just am.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57You know, Vicky didn't have a miscarriage
0:14:57 > 0:14:59because she wasn't looking after herself,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02it's just something that happens. You just don't know.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03No.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Just got to be careful.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Well, I am.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Got to go.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Very, very good.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Come on, that's right. That's good, yes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Come on you stragglers! Come on, brakes.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Brakes, BRAKES!
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Yes.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Er, right, that's what's called the standard signalling manoeuvre...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36How long's Mr Chalk been teaching here?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Oh, just this term,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41but he's great, he's a real asset to the maths department.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42..That's it, yes!
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Now, who can tell me, who can tell me what this sign means?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Mr Mead?- Yes, Denzil?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02You know you've been helping Scout? With her mum being away and all?
0:16:03 > 0:16:04What's this about?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07You promise if I tell you something,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- you swear she won't get into trouble?- What's happened?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'm not grassing her up, it's just...I'm worried about her.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I seen her heading out of school.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23She was with her little bro. I promised I wouldn't say anything,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25but she looked like she was on a mission
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and I don't want anything to happen to her.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Did she say where she was going?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32OK.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34OK, thanks for letting me know.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- You actually going to do this? - You're not chickening out?- No!
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Just watch the car all right?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Bagsy front seat! - Er, no! I did ages ago!- Urr!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Just shut up!- Just hold it down.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Lauren's in front, or neither of you are going.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Miaow!
0:17:02 > 0:17:03REVVING
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Finn!
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Just shut up, man?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09CREAKING
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I take it back, Finn. You're such a brilliant driver(!)
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Oh, yeah, you wouldn't never have guessed you hadn't passed your test(!)
0:17:27 > 0:17:29GIRLS: Whoa!
0:17:29 > 0:17:34So, now we move on to one of THE trickiest manoeuvres a cyclist has to face,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36the right turn.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Now why is this potentially difficult?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Cos that's the hand you've got your phone in? - STUDENTS LAUGH
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- I'm presuming that's a joke... - Everything going OK?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Yes, it's a real eye-opener, this!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50..be it a phone, MP3 player,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54hot beverage, cold beverage.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Right, so...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Oh, yeah, cos this is fun, once around the school car park.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Well, I'm not leaving the school. - No, don't.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Don't even think about it, Finn. - I make a good, clear signal,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11then I move off into the centre of the road.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Come on Chicken Boy!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- At least put the radio on.- Yeah! - Just shut up will ya!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Finn, watch out! Oh, my God, it's Chalky! Stop!
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Oi! What are you doing?! That's Mr Clarkson's car! - Come on you lot, out!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- What is going on? - Is this is a teacher's car?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- It belongs to Josh's dad.- Right! All four of you into the cooler, now.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Here, why me? I wasn't driving.- Just go!
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- What about the car?- We'll get someone who can drive to move it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Chris!
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Chris, where are you going?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Scout's left school and she's taken her brother. I'm going to find them.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- This is not good timing, I need you here.- This is too important.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I said I'd look after her.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Unless I got the wrong end of the stick, your Deputy just seriously undermined your authority.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Minutes after four of your students were caught joyriding.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- I think we need to talk.- Sure.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22What the hell were you playing at?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23- It was the girls! - Cheers, Josh, yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25No, it wasn't.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26It was my fault.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28So, why did you do it?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30For a laugh! Wasn't trying to hurt anyone.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Whether you were trying or not, someone could've been seriously injured.- But they weren't!
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Everyone was OK. Nobody died. - That's hardly the point, is it?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Isn't it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- People die all the time, Tom!- Finn!
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Is that what this is about?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Sam.- No!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Do you think Sam would pull a stunt like that?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Put all her mates' lives at risk?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02I know.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Sorry.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK. So, what's going on with Chris Mead?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25He's worried about a pupil.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29The mother left her and her brother on their own yesterday.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Chris took them in for a night.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Took them in?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39They stayed in his flat.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45He does understand the sort of trouble this is this going to land him in?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48He'll be suspended pending a full investigation.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- He isn't stupid.- If you knew about this, why didn't you tell me?
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Sorry.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59You have let the LA know?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02No.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Not yet.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I know I should've handled this differently
0:21:07 > 0:21:10and informed people sooner.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You do understand I'm going to have to let the LA know about this immediately?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Of course.
0:21:25 > 0:21:31Tell you what, why don't you choose your favourites?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36All right, love?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38What are you doing here?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- I'm back, aren't I?- Why?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, seemed important, all them messages.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I meant, why did you bother?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49What do you mean?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I'm your mum, aren't I?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53No, you're not.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56A mum looks after her kids.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59She feeds 'em, she buys 'em clothes and stuff.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04A mum doesn't need to be told to come back and look after her kids.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- What's the problem? I'm back now. - It's too late!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08The Social know what happened.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Well, how did they find out?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Mr Mead told 'em. You went an' left us! I hate you!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- They can't take you away from me. - Tell them that.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27What we going to do?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I'm not letting them put us into care and split us up.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32So, me and Liam are leaving.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Where you goin'?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Anywhere. Catch a train, Manchester?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Just get as far away from you as possible.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Yeah, but you haven't got any money. - I'll get some somehow.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I can look after myself. like normal.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47No, Scout, look, I love you.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Don't do this to me.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50You're my babies.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Only when it suits you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Come on, Liam. We're going.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Scout, don't.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- I'm sorry.- I NEVER want to see you again. Come on!
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- Ah, Mr Whitman. - I came as soon as I found out.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16The press'll have a field day with this if they find out.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Mr Mead...thought he was helping a pupil.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25And that makes it better how, exactly?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27This was a gross mis-judgment on his part and yours.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It didn't help, you not telling me.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32You knew your management was under scrutiny today.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35I'm sorry.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39That's not good enough I'm afraid.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Today's events leave the LA with no alternative than to suspend you.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53As of now, this school is under direct Local Authority control.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56You do understand why this is happening, don't you?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Absolutely.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00We'll leave you to clear your desk.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Let's just keep this professional.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Are you OK, Mrs Fisher?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31All right?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- You've got a nerve. - I came to say sorry.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Do one.- Darren, it wasn't my fault. It's not like I ripped you off.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40The school were raided.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Same difference in my book.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You lost something that belonged to me.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'm sorry, OK? Can't you see that?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- All I see is some mouthy kid and her baby brother. - Give us another chance.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57If you do, I can start earning again. Pay back what I owe you.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00After what happened last time? You're joking, aren't you?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Come on, I were good, weren't I?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Please! I've got nowt left.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07I need to feed him.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I'll do anything.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Screw up again and that's it. Do you understand?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Course! You won't regret it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26It's only cos I don't want the Little Man on me case. Isn't that right?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Remember Doddsy?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Take this to him and bring back what he gives you,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- we'll go from there. OK?- Sure.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38No screw-ups. No cops.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- No nothing.- Course!
0:25:44 > 0:25:46We'll be dead quick, won't we, Liam?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19You know what this is, Li? Our ticket out of here. Come on!
0:26:21 > 0:26:24So, if I've passed, what do I get?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- A medal?- It's cycling proficiency, not the Olympics!
0:26:27 > 0:26:30All this for some crappy certificate??
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Eh, it's all about the knowledge. It might keep you alive out there!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- They've done it! It's over.- What?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Karen's been suspended.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I know it won't be long before they close the whole school down.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Hey! Come on! Not in front of this lot.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48- Are you sure?- Look, Karen is clearing her desk right this minute!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Check if you don't believe me! - Suspended her?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That's not fair, what about the other teachers?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57I don't know, all I know is that she's in there with the inspector
0:26:57 > 0:27:01and that creep Whitman from the council.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's your fault. You turned her against me.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- She were fine till she started at school.- You shouldn't have left!
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- If you'd done the minimum as a mother...- How dare you!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- No child should go through this! - OK! I got the message!
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Hang on, hang on, have you any idea where they might have gone?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21This is your children we're talking about, they could be at risk.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Now, do you know where they are, or not?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29She said something about going to Manchester on a train,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- or...- What train?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- She's done this thing before, she'll be back in a few hours.- What train?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I told you, it's just talk!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- She hasn't even got the money. - I hope you're right.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- I'll come with ya.- No!
0:27:43 > 0:27:45No, you wait here, in case they come back.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46I'll deal with this.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50'Yeah, there's two of them.'
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Scout, the girl, is 15 and her little brother Liam is three.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57They might be trying to get a train at a main line station.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59So, if your Officers could keep an eye out, please.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Like, no way, can they just shut us down.- They didn't even ask us.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Who do they think they are? - People in charge.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- They can do what they want.- Yeah? It don't make it right, does it?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere. You OK?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Yeah I'm fine. Why, what's happened? - It's your mum.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21She's been suspended.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22What for?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I dunno, it's something to do with Mr Mead.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Is this for real? All this closing the school stuff?- Dunno.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34- Hey, why don't you ask your dad! - Yeah, that's a great idea, Amy.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Have you heard? - You and 'im are all right.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40You're young. You'll get another job easily.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I doubt anyone'll be rushing to employ me.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44You're lucky. What am I going to do?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Tell Fleur that she's that she's got to move into that council care home?
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- I need a word with you.- About what? - Well, you know what you did.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- You're sorry, right?- If there was anything I could do to undo that, then I'd...
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Then you'd what? Cos if we're going to do something, we need to it now.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Well, there is something.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I don't know if it would work.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14So, how long ago did she leave then?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17No, course she hasn't come back yet.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Well, if she has then I'll deal with her.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25No-one does that and gets away with it.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Where is she then?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Wait till you see the train!
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Come on, go!
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Come on.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23So it is true?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I don't believe it.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Everyone is furious, Karen, the staff, the pupils...
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Doesn't matter. It's too late. - No, it's not.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40It is. I've been suspended.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Whitman's in charge of this place now, he can do with it what he likes.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Er, no, he can't and you can't let this happen. You have to fight.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I tried, Rob.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50I tried.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52I fought...
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I lost. End of story.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Why are you being like this?
0:30:59 > 0:31:04I just want to get out of here as quickly as possible. I shouldn't even be here.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Right everyone, listen up!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Here we go.- Perfect.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- D'you not think the art department will miss all this?- Eh...
0:31:30 > 0:31:32what are you lot up to?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- So are you with me? - THEY ALL CHEER
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Looks like everyone's joining in! - This is gonna be brilliant!
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Let's just hope it works.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22You come to escort me off the premises?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24No, course not.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- I just know how difficult this sort of thing can be. - I can find my own way out.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Karen, I'm really sorry.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Do you want a hand with that? - No I'm fine, Tom.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14All I can say is if you get down to Waterloo Road School right now,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17you'll get an exclusive on a great story.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18OK, I'll see you there.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Pleased with your handiwork, are you? You must be so proud.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Tom? A word!
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I don't think now is really the time, do you?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Now, is precisely the time.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Save our Head! Save our school!
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Save our Head! Save our school!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Save our Head! Save our school!
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Save our Head! Save our school!
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Save our Head! Save our school!
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Save our Head! Save our school!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21CHANTING CONTINUES
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Stop this! Stop this now!
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Well, there's never a dull moment in this school, is there?
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Make them stop.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49It's your school now. YOU stop them.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02That's ours. Twenty five past two train to London.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Right, let's get you a drink.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14You can have two. >
0:35:14 > 0:35:17And crisps! Crisps!
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Big Ben, Tower of London an' all that stuff.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33And tonight, we can stay in a hotel! How about that?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Oi, mate! You can't park there!
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Let's go up here.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39That were close.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Tickets, please!
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Where's the rest? - That's all of it, just let us go!
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- It's not all there! You stole from me.- I'll pay you back. I'll post it or something.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- Can't have people doing this and getting away with it.- Oi!
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- Get away from 'em!- It's nothing to do with you, pal. She stole from me.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Oi, I don't care. Leave 'em alone.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Or what, eh?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11I'll not forget this.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Are you all right? - Keep away from us!
0:37:16 > 0:37:18You're just as bad as the rest of 'em!
0:37:18 > 0:37:22You say you're gonna help us, but you don't mean it. You make things worse.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Look, look... ..It's OK, I'll deal with this.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26I'm not trying to make things worse.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31You stick your nose in when you want, say a bunch of stuff to make yourself feel better
0:37:31 > 0:37:36and then back off and hand us over to Social Services.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Adults, don't trust them. - I'm here, aren't I?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I'm not at school
0:37:40 > 0:37:44and I did that because I came here to find you, because I want to help you.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Let us go, then.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49You know that I can't do that.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- You're just kids, you need looking after.- I can look after myself.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Come off it - look what's just happened!
0:37:56 > 0:37:58You put yourselves in danger by running away like that.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- You and your brother.- Don't tell me I don't know how to look after Liam.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- I've always done it.- No-one's saying that you're not good at it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06But you shouldn't be doing it on your own.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09You're his sister, you're not his mum.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11I had no choice, did I?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14No, and that's totally wrong.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17It's not fair on you and it's not fair on him.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19He needs a normal life, and you?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21You should be thinking about school and...
0:38:21 > 0:38:26and your mates, not about the leccy and about putting food on the table.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27You're wasting your time.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31I don't want to be put into care with total strangers!
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I know that you're scared.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41Look, you just need some space so you can put things in perspective.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Everyone just needs a bit of time to think things through.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48It's still "care" though, innit?
0:38:49 > 0:38:52It's the best thing for you right now. For both of you.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Foster parents, they understand it, they get it.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Eh, and I'm not going anywhere.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I'll be with you through all of this. I promise.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- D'you really mean that?- Course.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25THEY CHANT
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- I thought you wanted this place shut down?- No way!
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Like what other school in the world would you get away with this?
0:39:42 > 0:39:48- Are they safe up there? I don't want anyone coming to harm over this. - They're fine.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50There's room for you as well if you fancy it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Eh, check this, we're on telly! Hiya, Mum! Hiya, Cheryl!
0:39:57 > 0:39:59How've they found out so quickly?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06No point shouting if there's no-one there to hear us.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Jess!
0:40:10 > 0:40:13What? Well, come on, join in!
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- I don't think you should be up here. - What?
0:40:16 > 0:40:18I mean in your condition...
0:40:18 > 0:40:21I'm just concerned - this is my baby, too.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Don't, Aiden.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Don't even go there.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Right, listen up, everybody.
0:40:38 > 0:40:44- By getting rid of Karen Fisher, they are throwing away everything that's good about this school.- Jess!
0:40:47 > 0:40:48You've joined us!
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I'm here for exactly the same reasons as all of you -
0:40:52 > 0:40:55because I believe that this school is important,
0:40:55 > 0:41:01no matter what they say, and I believe that it's worth fighting for,
0:41:01 > 0:41:03and that's what I intend to do! Are you with me?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06THEY CHEER
0:41:06 > 0:41:09For God's sake. That woman is nothing but trouble.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13You! Go up there and tell them come down.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Excuse me?
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Tell the staff, anyone not down in five minutes is sacked, as of now.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- You can't do that.- I can sack you too, you know. Just do it!
0:41:37 > 0:41:39CHANTING STOPS
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Brothers and sisters, I have come to join the struggle!
0:41:49 > 0:41:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:54 > 0:41:56CHANTING RESUMES
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- It's out of control!- Well, it's out of YOUR control at any rate.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Should've just bulldozed the place and been done with it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04So how are you going to handle it?
0:42:04 > 0:42:07I mean, having just declared a "management breakdown" earlier,
0:42:07 > 0:42:13- you don't want your first action to be another one?- No, you're right. I'll call the police.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Yeah, police, a disturbance at Waterloo Road.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22That man, Richard Whitman,
0:42:22 > 0:42:28has conducted a personal vendetta against this school and its Head Teacher.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33I know, because he recruited me to help him, asking me to provide information that would
0:42:33 > 0:42:39discredit Karen Fisher, allow him to suspend her and close this school!
0:42:39 > 0:42:41THEY ALL JEER
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?
0:42:48 > 0:42:53So, Mr Whitman, do you want to respond to what Ms Chaudry's saying up here?
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- She's saying that you tried to tarnish MY reputation!- No, no, no...
0:42:57 > 0:43:01the real issue here today is the management of this school...
0:43:01 > 0:43:06Why would she lie on camera? She is a local councillor, Mr Whitman.
0:43:06 > 0:43:12This man wants to close this school, because he thinks it's a failing school.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15And he thinks it's failing because of me.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19But I ask you, does this look like a school that nobody cares about?
0:43:19 > 0:43:20- ALL:- No!
0:43:20 > 0:43:24And does this look like a responsible Head to you?
0:43:24 > 0:43:27You wouldn't know it, but this school has an inspection today!
0:43:27 > 0:43:33- These children and their parents deserve better, and by closing... - Well, let's ask them, shall we?
0:43:33 > 0:43:36Is this school supported by you?
0:43:36 > 0:43:40THEY ALL CHEER
0:43:44 > 0:43:47You haven't answered my question, Mr Whitman.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Does this look like a school that nobody cares about?
0:43:49 > 0:43:54Anyone can see that this school has numerous problems...
0:43:54 > 0:43:57IS THIS A SCHOOL THAT NOBODY CARES ABOUT?
0:44:02 > 0:44:07- No, obviously not.- Thank you! That's all I wanted to hear.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- What's going on? - Well, after you abandoned ship,
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- your Head was suspended. - Was that because of me?
0:44:13 > 0:44:15You've caused a lot of trouble today, Mr Mead.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26OK, everyone, that's enough for today.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- We've made ourselves heard. - You can't be serious?!
0:44:29 > 0:44:32We should stay up here, we've got the upper hand.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36No, we've said what we needed to say, and I thank you for that.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38But now we need to go home.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41THEY ALL CHEER
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Oi! Who threw that?
0:44:56 > 0:45:00Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?
0:45:03 > 0:45:04CHEERING
0:45:05 > 0:45:06Kyle Stack?
0:45:17 > 0:45:18What's going on?
0:45:18 > 0:45:22Alison's just told me you've been suspended!
0:45:22 > 0:45:26You put me in an impossible situation earlier.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Scout and Liam, are they OK?
0:45:30 > 0:45:36- I'm gonna speak to their social worker in a minute. Hopefully we'll know more then.- Ms Fisher...
0:45:36 > 0:45:38I'll leave you to it.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40I think we need to talk.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49You can see how keen Richard is to close the school.
0:45:49 > 0:45:54- So where do we stand? - Like a lot of schools, Waterloo Road has its fair share of problems.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Well, closing it down isn't going to solve those.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01No, but from what I've seen today, the school doesn't have a firm enough grip to tackle them either.
0:46:01 > 0:46:05Joy-riding on school property, a Deputy Head completely beyond your control...
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Chris was only trying to help a distressed pupil.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12I know, but there are ways of doing it without abandoning the Headteacher,
0:46:12 > 0:46:17- and then there was your attempt to cover things up.- Sure.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22But what I've just seen out there is evidence of something else.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26There's a real spirit here. Amongst the pupils and the staff,
0:46:26 > 0:46:30you know they want to be here and they'll go a long way to protect it.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32That's a very rare quality indeed.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38- So what are you going to say? - In my report?
0:46:38 > 0:46:41Well, there's a lot of work that needs to be done,
0:46:41 > 0:46:45but ultimately the pupils, the teachers, they need this place.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48The school stays.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54- That's brilliant. - Yeah, it would be wrong of me to take it away from them.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Thank you.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07So, can I ask you...
0:47:07 > 0:47:10what are you going to say about me?
0:47:10 > 0:47:13The social workers have spoken to your mum and they've decided
0:47:13 > 0:47:16that staying with her isn't the best thing for both of you.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19But they have found a place for you two.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- Together?- Yeah.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24It's with a family, here in town.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28This family, what're they like?
0:47:28 > 0:47:32A really nice couple, apparently. Looked after loads of kids.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36- And I meant what I said.- 'Bout what?
0:47:36 > 0:47:41About doing everything that I can to help you. I'm not going to disappear, d'you understand?
0:47:41 > 0:47:45If you want to visit me or ring me, then you can do.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49D'you really mean that?
0:47:49 > 0:47:51Yeah, of course I do.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53You're gonna be OK, y'know.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57- You're great kids. - Did you hear that, Liam?
0:47:57 > 0:48:01Party at Mr Mead's. I'll set up a Facebook event right now.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03- Scout...- Only kidding!
0:48:15 > 0:48:17You were right.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20- You don't need me, do you? - Not this again, Aiden, please.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24It was great, watching you on the roof. So full-on and determined.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27Well, that's really sweet, but what is it that you're tryin' to say?
0:48:27 > 0:48:30That I was wrong.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32You don't need my help,
0:48:32 > 0:48:34you don't need anyone's help.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Well, I wish that was true.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41I do want to be involved in the baby's life, though.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46It's completely up to you, I'm not gonna make any demands...
0:48:47 > 0:48:48..I just...
0:48:48 > 0:48:50You just what?
0:48:52 > 0:48:55This is really special and I don't want to miss it.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59I don't want that baby to grow up and think that its dad didn't care about it.
0:49:02 > 0:49:03OK.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Thank you.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23- Bye, Sir.- I'll see you.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26Scout!
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Didn't think I'd see you again, the way you were carrying on earlier.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Me neither.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34And look... I'm sorry for grassing you up.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36S'all right. I'm glad you did.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38- I'll see you soon.- See ya.
0:49:39 > 0:49:44I didn't need it, but thanks. You're a real mate, Denz.
0:49:49 > 0:49:54Look, Karen, I wanted to explain. I'm well aware that I've not exactly helped the school's situation.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58I know why you did it, and I think your instincts are right.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02- There were just other ways of going about it.- Absolutely. I can see that.
0:50:02 > 0:50:07But y'know the problem is, if I come across a similar situation in the future, then...
0:50:07 > 0:50:10I know that I would do the same thing again and again.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15Right. So what are you saying?
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Today's made me realise that I can't be a teacher any more.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Don't get me wrong, I love this place,
0:50:23 > 0:50:28pretty much everything about it, and leaving is gonna be really, really difficult...
0:50:30 > 0:50:32..but I can't be the Deputy that you need.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35You're resigning?
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Yeah.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42Is there anything I say to make you change your mind?
0:50:43 > 0:50:45I've made my decision.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Well, I'd better buy you a drink then.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07In short...
0:51:13 > 0:51:17..Waterloo Road passed! THEY ALL CHEER
0:51:20 > 0:51:22And that really is down to you guys!
0:51:23 > 0:51:28And I can say with utter confidence I have never felt
0:51:28 > 0:51:32more proud of a school or a group of colleagues than I did today.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34This is victory is yours!
0:51:34 > 0:51:36THEY ALL CHEER
0:51:37 > 0:51:40What about you? Have you been reinstated?
0:51:41 > 0:51:43I still have to wait for the LA to decide.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45SOME JEERING
0:51:45 > 0:51:47But I love this school,
0:51:47 > 0:51:51and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that I'm back next term.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53CHEERING
0:51:54 > 0:51:56Now, on a sadder note...
0:51:57 > 0:52:00..I have to tell you that Chris Mead
0:52:00 > 0:52:04will be leaving at the end of this term.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10And I can't hide the fact that Chris and I have had our differences
0:52:10 > 0:52:15of late, but what an asset he's been to Waterloo Road.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:52:20 > 0:52:25Chris, I wish you every success at whatever you turn your hand to,
0:52:25 > 0:52:27you will be sorely missed.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Chris Mead. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:52:47 > 0:52:52- When I'd heard you'd run off mid-inspection, I thought you'd lost your mind.- I don't blame you.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Karen was pretty shocked as well.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56She's not gonna hold that against you, is she?
0:52:57 > 0:53:00Well, I'm gonna miss you, mate.
0:53:00 > 0:53:01We all will.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05- Who am I gonna talk footie with on a Monday morning?- Eleanor. Sorry?
0:53:05 > 0:53:08Don't you start.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12So, you are gonna go out into the world with no job lined up, no plan, nothing?
0:53:12 > 0:53:15- Pretty much, yeah!- Have you thought what that means to your pension?
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Leaving the plan early, you're gonna lose out.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Oh, Grantly, I never knew you cared so much!
0:53:21 > 0:53:23- Hmm.- Just give us a sec, mate.
0:53:33 > 0:53:34Are you OK?
0:53:36 > 0:53:38I don't blame you for being angry at me.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42I'm still pretty cross with myself.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Well, I suppose you've wiped the slate clean.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48It was the demo that made all the difference.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51That wasn't me. That was the school.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54But thank you.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59D'you want a drink?
0:54:00 > 0:54:04- Janeece! Your one's up! - Oooh, go on, Janeece!
0:54:04 > 0:54:06CHEERING
0:54:16 > 0:54:18You leaving already?
0:54:18 > 0:54:21I mean, that's just the warm up, it gets worse.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25I thought I'd just leave whilst everyone's having a good time.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Yeah, because we passed the inspection.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33- And no-one's happier about that than me.- But?
0:54:34 > 0:54:38It just makes the possibility of not being a part of it that much harder.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40That's not gonna happen, Karen.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44It's just the not-knowing, that's all. Waiting for them to decide.
0:54:44 > 0:54:48Well, then, you just give 'em hell!
0:54:51 > 0:54:55The one thing I'm very sure about...
0:54:56 > 0:54:58..no matter what happens to me,
0:54:58 > 0:55:01wherever I end up, whatever I do...
0:55:03 > 0:55:05..I wanna keep hold of you.
0:55:07 > 0:55:08Right.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13Well, you might just have to let me go.
0:55:15 > 0:55:16What?
0:55:18 > 0:55:20Why?
0:55:21 > 0:55:24I will help you interview for a new site manager, but, er...
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Oh, just read it.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Oh, my God. You passed your PGCE!
0:55:40 > 0:55:42You're a teacher!
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Oh, that's fantastic!
0:55:44 > 0:55:46I might have to invest in a suit.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Steady on!
0:55:48 > 0:55:50I like you in overalls.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54D'you wanna stay...
0:55:54 > 0:55:56or would you like me to take you home?
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Are you sure you don't want to help them celebrate?
0:56:05 > 0:56:07You have got a nice smile.
