Duration: 29 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland HD

Documentary series that gets to the heart of one of the most important nights in the high school calendar, parent-teacher consultations. With exclusive access to these normally strictly confidential conversations, each episode features a different school from across Northern Ireland and the pupils, parents and teachers from one year group as they gather to discuss success and failure in the classroom and beyond. From the trauma of going to big school for the first time to the pressure of preparing for final exams, these normally formal gatherings reveal coming-of-age stories, humour, inspiration and nostalgia where it is least expected.

This edition focuses on Year 10 at Lismore Comprehensive School in Craigavon, where the programme finds out how Maddy, Shay and Caitlin are coping with pressure of choosing subjects for GCSE. Have they worked out who they are, never mind what they want to be? Do they realise the importance of their decisions? There's nowhere to hide when their parents meet their teachers. Show less
