School: A-levels Aren't 't for the Likes of Us

on BBC Two England

First in a six-part documentary series offering a behind-the-scenes look at aspects of school life as they affect both pupils and teachers at the Francis Combe School, a small comprehensive in Watford, Hertfordshire.

It's summer and the A-level exams are approaching. Sixth formers and teachers alike are getting nervous. For the pupils, passing is the key to entry to college and beyond. For the teachers, with more and more parents choosing schools according to league table performance, the pass rate could affect Francis Combe's whole future.
