In Birmingham, schools are trying to prevent gang violence. In one secondary, the head calls an emergency assembly to talk about a fight at the school gate. In a school in Brent, a new group has arrived at the school from Afghanistan, and is vulnerable to attack. |  |

Bayley observes graduate trainee Abigail Mack as she teaches a group of Year 10 boys on the D/E grade borderline. Usually these boys are a handful, but getting them to read out parts of a Willy Russell drama, Our Day Out (a story about a boisterous school trip) is a real hit. | |
| Underachieving Boys, Getting Involved In this programme, John Bayley takes an in-depth look at the underachievement of boys at a school in Kent.
