It is the biggest football match of the Abbey Grove school year: Abbey Grove versus the local public school Middleton House. After the P.E. teacher goes missing, Fraser decides Alfie is the ideal candidate to coach their team.

The Abbey Grove School election is underway. Each class must put forward a candidate. Gulliver's candidate is school brainbox David Millbank. When Gulliver implies Alfie's class are all "unelectable" he decides to make it his mission to prove her wrong. Meanwhile, Fraser is suspended due to an unfortunate incident involving a very provocative internet viral, which means Pickwell has firmly got her sights on trying to get the top job for herself. With special guest Ami Metcalf.

About this show

Jack Whitehall stars in this school comedy series about the worst teacher ever to grace the British education system. Alfie Wickers likes to think of himself as a maverick teacher, a charmer and cool dude who has a unique relationship with his pupils. In reality, Alfie has joined Abbey Grove School straight from teacher training and is making it up as he goes along - relying on his misguided sense of cunning and his poorly developed ability to lie and cheat. Alfie's class of troubled teens both love and despise him in equal measure and relations with his fellow teachers aren't any easier.
