Episode 5: Educating Yorkshire

Summary

GCSEs are edging closer, and students Skyler, Olivia and Falak are feeling the pressure. While Maths teacher Mrs Delaney-Hudson is determined to see her pupils succeed, headteacher Mr Burton leads a crackdown on mobile phone use. Year 11 student and prefect Falak is struggling with anxiety as the pressure to achieve high grades starts to feel overwhelming. Plus, a special guest returns to the school

Review

Gabriel Tate

This endlessly humane and engaging series approaches an annual milestone guaranteed to bring students and teachers alike to the brink: GCSEs. At least at Thornhill Community Academy they have Educating Yorkshire to burnish the reputation should results not do the job, but head teacher Mr Burton and his team quite clearly have both grades and welfare at the heart of their approach tonight.

Top of the agenda is a crackdown on the use of mobile phones. Prefect Falak is one of those struggling with the pressure of expectation, while maths teacher Mrs Delaney-Hudson takes her own approach to motivating her class. Watch out, too, for a cameo from a familiar face.
