Where is Harrop Fold School?

Harrop Fold School is located in Salford, a city in the borough of Greater Manchester.

Camera crews moved into the school in autumn 2016 and the eight-part series lifts the lid on life at the high school.

Heading up the staff is no-nonsense head Drew Povey, who is shown helping the school cope in the emotional aftermath of the Manchester terror attack.

This series explores such stories as 15-year-old Mia, who’s seven months pregnant, argumentative Year 8 student Katelyn, and Kodie who threatens to live before sitting GCSEs.

Syrian schoolboy Rani stole the hearts of the nation on the first week of the show.

In just an hour, viewers saw the shy 11-year-old ask a teacher for help after another pupil pushed him, kicked him and swore at him - but by the time the credits rolled, he had made a best friend for life, and even enjoyed his first trip for "tea" outside of his own home.
