Educating Greater Manchester

[bednobs]

I see a "new" series of this is starting tonight on Ch4
I thought the head (who is in all the trailers) was sacked a while ago - is he back?

from Wiki:
Series 6 (2020)
Main article: Educating Greater Manchester
Channel 4 confirmed in January 2018 that the Educating programme was renewed for two further series. For the first time, the series would return to the same school for the sixth and seventh series, in Manchester.[12] The sixth and seventh series were set to be filmed back to back, with the sixth series set to comprise 16 hour-long episodes.[13] However, after the school was placed into special measures by Ofsted in 2018 following reports of headmaster Drew Povey off-rolling students, Channel 4 later confirmed that the episodes would not be aired in light of the findings.[14] In 2020, it was revealed that Channel 4 would air the unaired episodes, beginning at 9:15pm on 3 November. The unaired episodes have been promoted as being a second series of Educating Greater Manchester.[15]

Be good to see some familiar faces.

The trailers also say (onscreen) "Filmed in 2018".

Not the ones I saw anyway it was brilliant as ever. Who'd be a teacher?

I watched it tonight and thought the head was brilliant. What does it mean when it says he was off rolling students?

The second episode is on tonight - not next week as I would have expected.
It made me cry tonight!

I have read that article and even now I am not sure how they would decide whether or not he had done it unless the numbers were massive.

I wondered how they would deal with it anfd he was on there saying it had turned into a crappy year but I think there might be more to come?

I love that little boy who has dyslexia, such a character. The talk that the head had with him seemed to help him a lot. Hope he does well in his life.

He looks like a little ****

I have a feeling that Jacob will succeed with his new attitude to his 'superpower'.
