Bad Education

It's summer term and Alfie Wickers is back in high spirits to get his class through their exams. But there is a shock for Alfie with the revelation that his dad Martin Wickers has been appointed as the new deputy head whose first jobs are to increase class sizes and fire a member of staff after Fraser has badly invested the school's money in his own clothing range, Dolce and GaBanter. For Alfie this means a new class member, Cleopatra, and a tough decision to make - stand by his girlfriend, Miss Gulliver when she leads the teachers on strike, or sacrifice himself to save his class.

Mitchell announces he is leaving Abbey Grove but there is the perfect opportunity for a farewell party when Fraser decides to rent out rooms to after school clubs for extra cash. But things get complicated for Alfie when he promises to attend Gulliver's book group, Fraser's LARPing club and Mitchell's leaving party. Alfie wants to use the book group as an opportunity to impress Gulliver but when he gets his class to write the chapter summaries things quickly go from bad to worse.

It's Abbey Grove's sports day and Fraser has hired the most inappropriate new sports teacher to oversee events - Preet. Alfie sees this as the perfect opportunity to challenge Miss Gulliver's ex-boyfriend to an endurance event which Preet offers to design. But with a steroid scandal rocking the school and Alfie desperate to win by any means possible, will he make it over the finish line with his dignity intact?

Martin Wicker's attempts to teach Alfie to drive end in disaster when they run over the school caretaker. Alfie and his class start fundraising for the caretaker's urgent surgery. However when the school bully Grayson is transferred to Alfie's class it soon becomes clear that their noble intentions might be difficult with him around. Soon Alfie and his class find themselves no longer leading a charitable enterprise but being taken on a joyride in a stolen ambulance. Meanwhile, Fraser has taken up pole dancing and sees the fundraiser as the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his skills.

Fraser discovers that Alfie never passed his Biology GCSE, so Alfie must go back to school himself to be taught biology by Gulliver and sit the exam with his own class. It should be the perfect opportunity to prove to Gulliver that he can motivate his class and lead by example, but Alfie decides there is only one real option; cheating. But with the revelation that the notorious invigilator Mr Hewston will be overseeing the exam, it becomes clear that this is going to be a battle of wits. Meanwhile Wickers is babysitting his girlfriend's dog and Fraser is organising the end of exam skip party.

With exams over its careers advice day for Form K but it is Alfie who makes the biggest decision of all when he realises he can't go on teaching without his beloved class and quits Abbey Grove. Fraser is beyond gutted to lose his best friend and takes the news very badly. Alfie reveals he has landed himself a job at the Playstation factory and cannot be tempted back despite Gulliver and his class begging him to return. But will the truth about Alfie's new job be exposed? And will they manage to convince him to return to Abbey Grove? And who will be crowned Prom King and Queen?
