- Contemporary drama series set in a challenging, diverse British secondary school.
- There's a school like Waterloo Road in every town in Britain. The staff are overworked and underpaid, the budgets only ever seem to get tighter, and the kids more troublesome. It's a melting pot of class and race where the day-to-day troubles of its students spill out in dramatic ways. However, every pupil knows that at Waterloo Road they'll always be cared for by the staff and given every chance to achieve an education. The teachers themselves are often far from perfect, but as any pupil with a problem soon discovers, a few motivated and inspiring individuals can make a massive difference.—Official site
- The show follows the lives of the teachers and the pupils at the eponymous school of Waterloo Road, a Greater Manchester secondary school, tackling a wide range of social issues. The series deals with issues including child abandonment, homelessness, knife crime, bereavement, eviction, eating disorders, marital breakdown, refugee children, and the sexual objectification of girls. The series begins on the first day of the new academic term at William Beswick High School, which is beleaguered with student protests against the commemmoration of the school's fictional namesake, who was a slave trader. A student riot leads to parent Chlo Charles (Katie Griffiths) being hit by a car; she collapses later that evening and is pronounced dead.—wikipedia
