From Shed Productions, the makers of Footballers' Wives* and Bad Girls*, comes Waterloo Road, a new BBC One drama series set in the chaotic world of a failing northern comprehensive school.

Waterloo Road Comprehensive is on the scrap heap. It can be found very near the bottom of every league table there is. Its despondent teachers have given up trying to make a difference as they struggle to cope with their own personal problems as well as their nightmare day jobs. When the current Headmaster has a nervous breakdown, Jack Rimmer (Jason Merrells) is reluctantly thrown into the hot seat.


He recruits optimistic, educational zealot Andrew Treneman (Jamie Glover) who wants to give up his comfortable private school job to bring the benefits of his elite educational experience to Waterloo Road.

Together with feisty Guidance Head Kim Campbell (Angela Griffin) the three teachers - all committed in their very different ways - set to turn round Waterloo Road, painful step by painful step.

Meanwhile English teacher Tom Clarkson's (Jason Done) life is in a mess. He's about to be married to live-in girlfriend and fellow teacher Lorna Dickey (Camilla Power) and can't face telling her he is no longer in love. But much worse, he has fallen for Lorna's closest friend - drama teacher Izzie Redpath (Jill Halfpenny).

Man-eating French teacher Steph Haydock (Denise Welch) is delighted Jack Rimmer has been promoted - she's always fancied him but now he's headmaster, his powerful, manly charms are impossible to resist.
