It is the first day of a brand new term at Quayside Academy! Warren is excited to start Year 9 (again), while Miss Aviary loses a very hungry friend.

It is Tuesday, and mum Kelly is finding it hard to be separated from her son Boo Boo Bear. Could she be the most embarrassing parent ever?

Adult man and Year 9 pupil Warren finds new ways to celebrate his love of Key Stage 3. Maths teacher Mr Alan has a ‘T' party, while badly behaved teaching assistant Poppy is creating trouble for Mr Soleil. Meanwhile, Mr Christopher drops a bombshell about an audition he has attended.

It is another ordinarily bonkers day at Quayside Academy. Music teacher Chris 'The Bish' Bishop spends an entire lesson taking the register thanks to all of his jingles, while biology teacher Miss Aviary has another mix-up when she brings one of her exotic animals in to school. Although the big news of the day comes from Mr Christopher, who makes a dramatic announcement about his future, he doesn't get the reaction he hoped for.

It is Mr Christopher's last day teaching at Quayside Academy before he goes off to start his dream job in television. In an attempt to help the students cope with their loss, he sets up a support group and forces several students to attend. Before he leaves, he gives his Year 9 pupils one final speech, reminding them how talentless they all are, and, as he departs, his mysterious new job is finally revealed.

Lollypop lady and former chief inspector Pam Travers is taking things far too seriously at the school crossing again. Year 9 are confused when Miss Crank actually does give up pranking, preferring instead to teach history at last. Meanwhile, the whole school is thrown into chaos when all the toilets get blocked, leaving everyone desperate for the loo. It all seems to have been caused by the same person, which leads head teacher Mr Goldman on a hunt to find the phantom toilet blocker.

PE teacher Mr Gangles makes a meal of teaching hockey, flatulent yoga teacher Mr Chakra creates a stink while perfecting his downward dog, and Charleigh has to spend the entire day standing as part of Rolf Smorgasbord's latest art installation. Meanwhile, Year 9 have a new drama teacher - Dame Margo Chichester - an experienced actress who takes her job a little too seriously.

Year 9 are choosing their GCSE options. Head teacher Mr Goldman's assembly backfires on him when he uses an egg analogy to explain the choices they face, while Alexcia gets excited to hear Miss Crank won't be taking GCSE history next year - until she finds out that was a prank, that is. Connor struggles to think of a single subject he wants to take, while permanent Year 9 pupil Warren is hoping not to have to go up a year. When it finally comes to decision time, it turns out that in a bid to make the process more interesting, the school are doing it with a Dragons' Den-style twist.

Warren is excited because it's mock test day, much to the annoyance of the other students! In the corridor, Charleigh becomes part of Rolf Smorgasbord's latest art installation and supply teacher Mr James tries his hardest to hide the fact that he's clearly a secret agent. He doesn't succeed!

It's pupils v teachers as Quayside Academy introduces a sports day with a difference! Hakeem and Miss Crank compete in a prank-off, while Charleigh and Mr Bishop battle over who's the best DJ. Connor enters a roleplay-off with Dame Margo, while Alexcia and Freddie have a painting contest. Despite the pupils clearly being in the lead, it all goes wrong when Linda fails to keep score. With no idea who's won, Mr Goldman has a sneaky idea for one final challenge, but it doesn't go to plan when the angry pupils take a stand against him.

A special episode dedicated to the legend that is Mr Christopher! We celebrate his unique teaching style and look back at the highs and lows of his teaching career. We hear from former pupils from both Dockbridge High and Quayside Academy, who tell us how he inspired them, and find out what happened to Mr Christopher's loyal assistant, Martin. when he left school.
