01. Educating Yorkshire Christmas Special
2013-12-19
Channel 4 goes back to school at Thornhill Community Academy to catch up with some of the best-loved characters from Educating Yorkshire. They're a year older and a whole range of things have changed for the students: trouble-makers have turned around their reputations; love is in the air; and new challenges are faced at school and college. Many of the old Year 11s who couldn't wait to escape are now missing Thornhill more than they would ever have imagined. For Musharaf, who spent his school days crippled by a stammer, the final few months of school and life beyond its walls have brought him a new-found confidence, which continues to grow. While the students' lives are ever-changing, Mr Mitchell and his team are still on a mission to make Thornhill a first-choice school while keeping the teenagers' behaviour in check.
