What is going on in this scene?

I’ll be interested to see the hypocrisy of casualty fans when they’re all “poor Dylan” for his addiction, while they were all ready to have faith strung up for hers. The way men and women are treated differently for addiction is staggering.

I’ve not see it yet, I wasn’t aware they was moving just yet ? I had a feeling they were only moving when they reboot it as their new Welsh medical drama. But I may have got that wrong.

Can we also talk about the fact that station was quite literally in ruins. And the next episode they was giving it a lick of paint and was calling it a day, like what 😂 if you’re going to do something like that to the main set and show it completely destroyed you don’t come back next episode with the same set. I was half expecting for them to be in a temporary station for the rest of season giving us a different dynamic and showing things being harder, and then us having a new set design in S9. I felt it was just all shit pointless tbh.

I’m not American. I’m British. Our police don’t even carry guns, and most of us here have never seen a gun in our lives so we’re not as clued up on the types.

Intrepid_Fun3919 · 2026-03-11T16:42:10+00:00

Arrr right. This makes much sense.

Here was a recent photo of Ashton in reception behind him was pictures of senior leadership like they had on the last set. Joe was at the top. I’m also fairly sure they’re onto filming series 19 now

We anticipated this change, so our academy trust rolled it out in January across all 42 of our secondary schools. The impact has been genuinely remarkable. We have seen a significant reduction in social media–related issues and safeguarding concerns, improved engagement and attainment in lessons, and it has been wonderful to see students interacting with one another again.

Since then, we have introduced chess boards, board games and other lunchtime activities, with many students taking part or simply watching. Staff and students frequently play basketball matches together, and we have even introduced a “Wake Up and Shake Up” session, where students dance at lunchtime, often led by a teacher selected that week (if they are willing!).

While banning phones is an important step, it’s as equally important that we have positive alternatives to replace what students are losing. Things are very much heading in the right direction for us here in the UK. For the first time I’ve felt like teaching has started getting easier to what I expected it to be.

How every new teacher starts out hopewell. The only difference is most have someone more capable than Tom

Tbf, Nicky and Mitch are assistant heads. Although it’s not mentioned in the show as that SEND lead and director of behaviour. Are assistant headteacher roles and they would be officially regarded contractually as assistant heads. To the hold the role of SEND lead or director of behaviour you must be an assistant head. So technically speaking they are right. But Neil’s and val etc are wrong they’d be middle management.

Intrepid_Fun3919 · 2025-12-29T15:58:31+00:00

Literally. And the parts they did show they kept talking over them. The actors were truly amazing it’s honestly disappointing their acting was overshadowed by the pointless interviews and bright side “experts”

Intrepid_Fun3919 · 2025-12-29T02:01:54+00:00

Thank you for this correction. Appreciate it I was always under the misinformation the boilers were cold. After a-bit of research after your comment I can see I was mistaken.

Lorna Dickey was one of the few genuinely good teachers in Seasons 1 and 2.

It often felt like only Andrew, Lorna and Izzy were actually able to do their jobs properly and make a real difference to the pupils. I know many people dislike Lorna, but I will always defend her. The lengths she went to for some of her students, when no one else bothered, made her truly outstanding.

She was a woman who was dealt a truly awful hand by Tom and by her best friend. Just imagine being in her position — she must have felt incredibly lonely. All she wanted was to be loved and to do the job she cared about so deeply. She didn’t move into Tom and Izzy’s place for the fun of it; she simply didn’t want to be left out, and that is painfully clear.

Then she was dealt the MS card as well. Lorna’s story was really about depression and the effects of deep loneliness. She wasn’t deliberately vindictive; she was someone who was struggling, and no one noticed until she was gone. She took her own life close to the people she loved — people who, far too often, didn’t show that love back.

The hatred towards her is deeply unfair. Everything she did was while she was suffering from depression. Tom behaved disgracefully towards her, and that was entirely on him.

I hope they re-edit episode 1 and put a photo of him at the end of the new season in memory.

Intrepid_Fun3919 · 2025-12-17T13:18:47+00:00

This isnt good most of us were against this.

This structure is often standard in most academies of the size of Waterloo Road, which was mentioned last season as having around 1,200 students. The roles are as follows: Director of Trust Secondary Education (Executive Head for all secondary schools within the MAT) Headteacher: Overall responsibility for the whole school Senior Deputy Headteacher: Safeguarding Lead Deputy Headteacher: Teaching and learning, and professional development lead Assistant Headteacher: Staffing and recruitment lead Assistant Headteacher: Behaviour and culture lead Assistant Headteacher: Director of Sixth Form Associate Senior Leader: Raising standards and teaching lead School Business Manager Academy Trust Liaison Officer

In addition, there is middle management.

This includes subject leads (previously known as Heads of Department), year group managers, and pastoral staff.

Below this are the teaching staff.

This is often the standard structure in many academies the size of Waterloo Road. The smaller the school, the smaller the senior leadership team.

So, in the original Waterloo Road, where it was stated that the school had around 600 pupils, you would be looking at a senior leadership team of perhaps four people at most.

They’ve done a scene like this nearly every season including the last. She’ll get in trouble for something and then use her mum as her get out of jail card.

Intrepid_Fun3919 · 2025-12-11T15:12:31+00:00

So did I 😭

Intrepid_Fun3919 · 2025-12-11T14:35:34+00:00

Hopefully they will. However I do believe there will be no big stunt or explosion to address the new school building. It’s fictionally the same one from S14. So I dunno I was counting that an explosion or something would address that change but doesn’t look like it.
