Twelve years ago the nation fell in love with the Bafta and Emmy award winning series, Educating Yorkshire.  Millions tuned in every week to watch the students and staff of Thornhill Community Academy in Dewsbury, revealing the unvarnished highs and lows of life in a 21st Century secondary school. Most famously watching Year 11 student Musharaf, with the help of his inspirational English teacher Mr Burton, triumph in miraculous fashion over his stammer. Building on the legacy of Educating Yorkshire, but in a wholly new reinvention of the brand, Thornhill is opening its doors to cameras once more to tell the stories of modern Britain through the eyes of one brilliant school. And there are a lot of new stories to tell. Things have changed in the past decade, for the school and for the country.
