The parent-teacher consultations at Malone College, Belfast.

Series witnessing parent-teacher consultations in different school across Northern Ireland. Focusing on Year 12 and Year 14 pupils at Malone College, Belfast.

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 episode focuses on Years 12 and 14 at Malone Integrated College in Belfast, where we find out how Rebecca, Luc and Pedro are coping with pressure of GCSE and A Level exams. Have they done enough revision? Is their coursework up to date? There's nowhere to hide when their parents meet their teachers.
