Manchester: Episode 5 (5x5)

:

There's election fever at Harrop Fold as the search for the school's first ever Head Girl and Head Boy begins in Year 10. Head teacher Mr Povey, staff and students will vote for the winning candidates after a rigorous interview selection process and a nail-biting live debate in front of the rest of the year group. The front runners for the Head Girl position are 14-year-old self-confessed geek Rebecca and old-before-her-time Chelci, who's 15 and who prefers to spend her break and lunchtime helping the staff in reception rather than hanging out with her friends. Going head to head for the boys are long-standing rivals Josh and Leon, who are both 14. They already hold the top positions in the Student Council but Josh is struggling to manage his expanding workload and has to rethink his entry into the competition at the last minute. And as the candidates are being shortlisted, amateur boxer Girhan, who's 15, throws his hat into the ring.
