Educating ...

Channel 4 goes back to school at Thornhill Community Academy to catch up with some of the best-loved characters from Educating Yorkshire. They're a year older and a whole range of things have changed for the students: trouble-makers have turned around their reputations; love is in the air; and new challenges are faced at school and college. Many of the old Year 11s who couldn't wait to escape are now missing Thornhill more than they would ever have imagined. For Musharaf, who spent his school days crippled by a stammer, the final few months of school and life beyond its walls have brought him a new-found confidence, which continues to grow. While the students' lives are ever-changing, Mr Mitchell and his team are still on a mission to make Thornhill a first-choice school while keeping the teenagers' behaviour in check.

Catching up with the staff and pupils of Thornhill Community Academy near Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, and following a selection of students as they find out how they did in their GCSEs. Musharaf captured the attention of the nation by overcoming his stammer and is now at college trying to fulfil his ambition to become a teacher, while Sheridan is learning to drive and hoping to achieve a grade C in Maths. Headmaster Mr Mitchell and teachers including Mr Burton and Mr Steer prepare for the end of the school year and those important exams

The film features Musharaf Asghar, affectionately known as Mushy, from Educating Yorkshire. Musharaf has had a stutter for as long as he can remember. Last year he found a place in the heart of the nation as millions tuned in to watch him learn methods to overcome his often crippling stutter, and achieve the C grade he needed in his English GCSE. Although Mushy’s stammer has improved, he is still often left speechless. Joining him on the course is 23 year old Vicky Croft who was a fluent speaker until last December when she developed a stammer following a minor stroke. Now more likely to stay at home than go out with friends, Vicky dreams of getting back to the bubbly, confident person that she was before her stutter.
