Plot

In the bustling corridors of the fictitious Greybridge Secondary School, near Watford, North London, an intricately woven story unfolds. At the heart of this saga is the socially awkward chemistry teacher, Keith Church (David Walliams). He's been a fixture at Greybridge for 15 years, teetering on the brink of resignation after a disastrous experiment; however, the sudden introduction of the captivating new French teacher, Sarah Postern (Catherine Tate), sends his world into a delightful whirl. Sarah is a paradox in her own right. She views herself as a modern-day muse, a woman who seamlessly blends beauty with her ability to inspire students. However, her self-perception is often caught in a tug-of-war with the harsh reality of teenage disinterest and her other suitor, the brash sports teacher, Trevor Gunn (Philip Glenister). This community of educators is a motley crew of unique personalities. The school is helmed by the assertive, alcohol-loving headteacher, Ms Baron (Frances de la Tour) and complemented by an array of eccentric staff members. There's the ambitious music teacher Mr Martin (Daniel Rigby), dreaming of a singer-songwriter future, the geography teacher-turned-caretaker Mr Barber (Steve Speirs) grappling with his sanity, and the bewildered head of science, Mr Hubble (James Greene). The students, with their insatiable appetite for social media, parties, and texting, are largely unimpressed by the educational antics of Mr Church and Miss Postern. Among them, the streetwise pupil Manyou (Joivan Wade) stands out, even becoming an unlikely mentor to Mr Church in the complex art of winning a woman's heart. "Big School" is a delightful journey through the labyrinth of secondary school life, exploring the humorous, heartwarming, and often dysfunctional relationships within its walls.
