1x2 - Educating …

This programme features the age-old problem of bullying. From cyber-harassment to an old-fashioned scrap, bullying is something that every school faces. As headteacher Mr Goddard says, it's only by acknowledging this that a school can tackle the issue. And while technology may have changed, with texts and social media, the issues of falling out and fitting in remain the same. Rebel Sam and model student Gabby come from opposite ends of the academic spectrum, but both of them, in different ways, have been affected by bullying. When Gabby starts to receive threatening text messages, deputy headteacher Mr Drew plays detective as he tries to discover the culprit and bring them to justice. And when Sam - who has been bullied in the past for being 'different' - falls out with close friend Dean, Mr Drew is called upon to act as referee as Dean's irate mum and sister arrive at school demanding action.
