Headmaster Jack Rimmer is panicking about the visit today by an
LEA inspector, as the drama set in a failing Northern
comprehensive school continues. However, he has taken some
precautions, such as arranging a school trip to ensure that the
worst teacher, Steph Haydock, and the most disruptive kids are
well out of the inspector’s way. Deputy head Andrew Treneman is
not impressed to learn that he has to supervise them.
Jack is surprised when the inspector, Heather Davenport, turns out
to be sympathetic to the pressures the school is under. However,
she has a bombshell: one of the schools in the area has to close
and the spotlight is firmly on Waterloo Road. Jack is devastated by
this news, but the more positive members of his staff rally round.
Meanwhile,Tom and Izzie continue to fight their feelings for one another.
When they find themselves alone, they can’t resist any longer. They
give in to their mutual desire, both temporarily forgetting about Lorna
– how will they break the devastating news of their affair to her?
The school trip to the museum is a complete nightmare for
Andrew and his biggest headache is Steph – she just won’t leave
him alone! Back at school, Heather is not impressed with Steph’s
teaching record or behaviour, so urges Jack to take action. Jack is
only too pleased to oblige – anything to keep the school open –
but when he tries to sack her, Steph makes a threat that leaves
Jack’s hands completely tied…
